The connection chat is an opportunity for us to connect. To see if we resonate with each other - because at the end of the day, I WANT you to show up for yourself. In this opening session we explore how I can be of service to you and to discover what it is that truly lights you up in the world and make it your reality. This is a great introduction to what you can expect out of our coaching container.

Originally written 19th October 2023. I’ve always known that somewhere within me I am a perfectionist – no matter how many times or often I have denied it. In that denial, I am cheating myself out of an opportunity. An opportunity to complete something and bask in the reward of that potential success. Instead, I am currently realising I am surrounded with nearly finished projects (and there are a lot of them) purely because the perfectionist in me did not want to share until it is complete = in my mind perfect. The truth of many of these projects is, they are already complete and to an outsider completely unaware of my inhibiting perfectionism would wonder why I was holding such a good thing back. A question was proposed to me by a peer coach, “is being a perfectionist holding you back from success and where you want to be?”. It felt like such an uncomfortable question to answer, because the truth of it is, I am. I am creating a limit, an unachievable expectation for myself. I am straight up from the beginning, setting the intent that whatever I set my mind to is realistically never going to be completed. You could delve deeper into the why of that thought, yet that is a conversation for another time. I feel like even acknowledging that has been the process of my thoughts is a bigger breakthrough. To shift my focus to complete a task, rather than concerning myself on the outcome. Regardless of an outcome, the importance is on the lessors learnt in the journey. This reasoning also brought me to a thought I had heard in another conversation, “we are conditioned to fight for our limitations”. Referring to the fact that we are rarely offered the opportunity to completely dream without limitation. We’re often suggested that “the sky’s the limit” – that saying it itself suggests you can only go so high in your ambitions – not even contemplating that there could be something beyond. But we are also encouraged to be prepared. That any venture without adequate planning and preparation is likely to fail or only go so far. Consideration for any unknown variable is removed from the equations. It is from this thought belief and conditioning that I am working towards unbinding. An encouragement to surrender to whatever the moment presents and rather than acting accordingly, or to a limited ideal, it is to fully give in and experience – to participate. Without holding perfectionist limitation. For the majority of conditioned beings experiencing life today – they will make a held judgement within the first 10 seconds, there is no thought to ‘is it finished / unfinished?’ or even room to be aware of the thought – those judgements come through completely unfiltered. It’s considering that now – why am I so bent on trying to hold sway in those 10 seconds? It’s knowing that – it either resonates, or it doesn’t. To those that it does – they are my people. They are the ones that will still be paying attention regardless of the level of perfectionism involved. When frequencies are matched – that is all the perfectionism that is required. How does perfectionism resonate and manifest within you? And what are you willing to do to pivot from those thoughts? Peace, Sharai x

There's a lot to bring in to perspective with the NEW ARIES MOON, and with the pairing of the solar eclipse this will heighten it all. It is time to prioritise your healing processes, reminding us that becoming aware of what's asking to be healed, witnesses and felt is the only way to move on without compulsively repeating the past. This is one of my favourite spreads for the new moon - an insight to EMBRACE + LET GO. TO EMBRACE TEN OF CUPS To see a TEN OF CUPS is to indicate a true emotional fulfilment - in particular the loved ones around you. Embrace the harmony that finds itself in your life, bringing joy into alignment with your hearts desire. The strength of cups reflects an intuitive maturity, flow, healing, cleansing, a sense of creativity and inner knowing. Embrace the moments about to unfold. TO LET GO KNIGHT OF WANDS - Reversed Wands are associated with the element of fire - a masculine energy and appears in a reading as a response to spirituality and purpose. Now is the time to let go of anger and the lack of direction you've been wandering, you've been running from committing and approaching your dreams with impatience. Be fearless and charge ahead, but be sure to find the balance in the in-between. These a reminders to allow thing to breakdown so you can experience the breakthrough, this will then lead into the catalyst for a significant shift in awareness and your own consciousness.

An insight to the year ahead - 2024. At the beginning of every year I take the time to sit down and reflect. To breathe in and accept the year that was, to breath out and set the intentions for the year to come. I write out my intentions, keeping them brief and then take the time to dive into the deeper. I find what resonates and determine what my theme/word of the year will be. To assist in refining all of that, I create a 16-card reading. 12 cards to reflect on an insight for each month of the year and 4 focus cards for the year. As you can figure - each number represents the month. i.e. 1 = January. These are all arranged just like the hours on a clock. The 4 focus cards can be anything - but the key is to determine them before you pull your cards. In my set up - the represent the following: A) The card of the year - OVERALL THEME B) CHALLENGE of the year C) LESSON of the year D) The DREAM MANIFESTATION In this my annual reading - I like to mix it up with more than one deck and in the choosing, it is purely intuitive. Featured in the reading below there are 4 decks I have chosen from. The Healing Waters Oracle - Rebecca Campbell The Sacred Forest Oracle - Denise Linn Dreams Of Gaia Tarot - Ravyenne Phelan Sacred Rebels Oracle - Alana Fairchild Now here is a detailed look into the insights received from each card.

A reminder to have and maintain healthy boundaries to protect yourself from becoming drained. Believe in the power of love, but also the wisdom that comes with it.

Connect with purpose through owning unique one-of-a-kind works, consciously designed merch or with presence through conscious conversations for wellbeing, soul alignment and the seeking of own truths. CREATIVE COACHING What is Light of Rai? Well… I’m Light of Rai! Rai is a shortened version of my name, Sharai, and I am a multifaceted and multidimensional being. I am a natural-born creative, as well as an advocate for wellness and alignment between all versions of ourselves. I am a crystal lover, serial crafter, dreamer, chaser of the sun and moon, and seeker of knowledge and growth. I truly believe that I am a princess of the Sun (loose translation of my given names) here to serve the collective. To bring and shine the light, the sunshine into the hearts of those around me. And through sharing ALL of my passions, that is how I am here to serve. Why share the journey? It is a question I can imagine many are thinking whenever they come across a blog post or an article. Like you, I am sure whenever you have stumbled across a meaningfully written piece, that in some way or another there is an element of a lasting impression. My reason for sharing, is because I believe in sharing a voice, even if the perspective may be different from your own, sometimes it is that differing perspective that can allow and open your own heart for growth. I often reflect on my journey and realise that I wish there was somewhere I could have found key advice on how to approach the life situations I was experiencing. Things like, journal prompts, conscious meditations, mindfulness activities, and offered tools to assist in overcoming my own self sabotaging. Sometimes even just knowing that another soul has gone through a similar experience, can feel incredibly supportive, comforting and less lonely. It can even be the catalyst that leads to searching for further help. Thus, what has led me to write my own blog and publicly share all the motions I have moved and will cycle through. Offering my insights to how I have overcome that ‘stuck’ feeling and facilitated finding balance, alignment and purpose within my own being and my journey in this story we call our existence.

In the past I have only offered artistic mix media commissions - What is that? That is developing creative works in my chosen media of acrylic + mixed materials to my unique abstract style. Through discussions of colours and styles that is complementary to it's new home as well as playing true to my artistic aesthetic. I do NOT however replicate other artworks.

For larger pieces - we can certainly work within specific colour schemes to suit the destined space for the work. Are your Fibre Art materials sustainably sourced? Yes! The majority of my textile supplies are sourced from a small business in Australia who has developed high quality sustainably sourced and recycled fibres. Did I also mention they are so ridiculously soft to touch? Using natural cotton fibres - form will change in differing environments and is the nature and design of my artistic creations. What is an intuitive reading? A reading is the process of connecting to our intuitive self and reading the energy as messages. This is commonly done through the use of Oracle or Tarot Cards. It is tapping into the energy and vibrations and utilising intuitive guidance to translate the messages provided by our higher selves or source energy. It is a strong reminder that if the messages seem vague, perhaps an opening of the mind is required, and that free will is always present. Readings are a great way to find a little more clarity to a particular question you have top of mind. They can provide insightful information to an obstacle you may be facing or an alternative perspective that might have been a consideration. Reading for others As an intuit, I have the ability to tap into source energy and channel messages, as we all can do with practice. When reading for others, it is a matter of finding a little more about you so I can connect with your vibrational energy and intuitive translate the messages coming through. This is done through a brief questionnaire. Something to remember is that source energy exists outside of time and space. So, with having the intention of reaching out for a reading, you could already be receiving the information you need – it is just a matter of translation, which is where my role exists. A matter of consideration, that these messages are designed for guidance and are not universal law as you will forever and always maintain free will in your actions. Do Card Readings Tell The Future? The simple answer is no. The beauty of our existence is the power of free will. Through every thought and action, we can diversely change the direction of our lives. Card Readings are ideal for providing assistance - a draw card to align unconscious thoughts and intentions. What is an Intuitive Coach? An intuitive coach is a professional coach who follows the same principles and teachings of traditional coaching, such as goal setting, working on habits and beliefs, but the difference is an intuitive coach encourage you to connect to the deepest parts of yourself, guide you through your intuition and help you to tap into the power of the divine energy we all feel the presence of. Life coaching can be a bit daunting to undertake, and many get the idea that if they work with a coach, they will get their life planned out step by step. This isn’t the case when working with an intuitive life/soul coach. The ultimate goal of an Intuitive Soul Coach is to guide to the path and provide the reflections that lead to finding wholeness with oneself. A key area of intuitive coaching is tapping into your own energy and dispelling any blockages that may be stopping you from achieving your higher purpose. So, what is it like to work with an intuitive soul coach? As with all forms of coaching, what you receive in most circumstances be the mirror of what you willing to be open to receiving. It is my goal to help work through potential blockages and ask the questions that will provide your own valuable insight; however, it is not my place to tell you how or what your soul purpose is. Only you hold the key to unlocking that information, I am here to be of service to assist and support you to remember where you left that key. Meaningful lessons are best learnt by us. When we are told the details of the how to do something, when we get to the final stage and see the fruits of our labours, they can be an immense sense of underwhelm and emptiness – that there should be something more to it. The truth of it – there was. There are supposed to be challenges and obstacles so we can learn to stretch the boundaries of our hearts and alter the views of our perceptions. Without seeing something from all angles, we will only ever experience the 2D of it all. This may be your first time working with a coach or your tenth. You will notice that no coach is alike, there may be similarities to the specialty – however there will never be no one the same. Coaching is building a relationship, a partnership, and a dance. In the realm of soul purpose coaching if it doesn’t resonate with you, that is more than okay. Myself and my industry peers are all here to be of service and wish to so in complete energetic alignment with you. If my style, my uniqueness does not align with the place you are currently at, please visit my “network” page to view other available coaches. If you’ve reached it this far into this piece, welcome. Like you, I am on my own healing and spiritual journey and have been for 15+ years. with rock bottoms and forgetting myself to winning highs. I trust in my life experience and my intuitive insight to be of service in the coaching container to assist in guiding you towards your inner light and insight to unlocking your soul’s purpose. If you are interested in working with me, please visit the services page for all available options. What is a higher/soul purpose (Dharma) Often, people come to coaching sessions to connect with their higher purpose. Your higher purpose, soul purpose or Dharma represents living a life that is meaningful, that is in connection with your core values and ultimately fulfils and lights you up, it’s your why to get out of bed every morning. You may already have an idea of what your higher purpose is, but different energies can present blockages that prevent you from connecting with it. Or it could simply, you have fulfilled one soul contract and are ready to start the next. Intuitive coaching goes much deeper into the source of a problem or challenge than traditional coaching, as it not only analyses your behaviours but also probes on a spiritual level. It is a questioning of all that you believe in and finding insights that assist in opening your heart, body, and mind on all levels. You might come to coaching because you feel a little lost, you’re not sure where your life is going, or you feel dissatisfied, but nothing is actually wrong. Intuitive coaching makes you realise a great tool to assist in finding the keys to unlock who you are in your core as a person, as a spiritual being, which will further lead you to discover your true purpose in life. Acknowledging that we are whole, have strengths, weaknesses, issues, and fears is a helpful grounding technique that encourages you to move forward in the healing process. How can intuitive coach help me? Perhaps you have many questions or are curious about the way an Intuitive Coach can help you. Primary questions asked and insights offered could be: Why am I here? What do I want to create or usher in, in this lifetime? What am I consistently being called to do? What is my dream of who I want to become? Coaching can help you overcome obstacles and potential blockages by guiding you to access your intuition and inner wisdom. To help you acknowledge your thoughts, patterns, behaviours and beliefs that have been holding you back from reaching what you truly desire. In Intuitive coaching, it is likely you will have to confront the root cause of those blockages which can be difficult, as a coach we are here to mirror, support and guide you to recognise your whole self. Intuitive coaching is about helping you to be whole and complete, which can only really be achieved from within. To connect with your innate inner wisdom, inner core values and determine your true passion. Your personal mission. Once this wholeness is achieved, we are able to seek abundance in all areas of our lives, that will up our own tank and those we surround ourselves with. Engaging with an Intuitive coach can be highly transformational as it paves the way and forges the path for a more fulfilling life. Can an Intuitive Coach help with my business? Absolutely. Like coaching on a personal level and business sense, Intuitive Business Coaching will share similarities to a traditional business/personal coach in setting goals and actions to achieve a desired outcome. However, an Intuitive Coach will keep a more spiritual inspiration at the centre of things. What are Dosha’s and how can they help me? Dosha’s are Ayurvedic energy types. They tell you who you are, how you show up and how you’re meant to be of service. Knowing your primary Dosha is of great assistance in relating to the phases of your purpose and soul journey. It is a great tool to utilise to map and focus on how to show up in your day to day, your cycle and your journey in life. Knowing your energy type can assist you in an awareness of the energy fields and shifting emotional states to bring you back into alignment with the source of energy, creating harmony in life. Coaching as a tax expense In some countries/states utilising the services of a coach either in a personal or business development sense can contribute as an expense or a tax deduction. It would be in your best interest to investigate further with your local taxation agency. If you can be the best version of yourself following your Dharma, in any role that your play in your life, that is an asset to your own business and that of the one you are employed by. Coaching & Therapy Coaching and therapy have similarities, however the topics that are delved in to do differ. Intuitive Soul coaching is a coaching container where the focus is connecting with your intuition, your inner wisdom and finding your personal mission, your soul purpose in this current journey. Along the way, obstacle and challenges will be worked through and in some instances, it can walk the line of addressing trauma and acknowledging personal triggers. When these things surface and the knowledge of them is quite triggering and affecting everyday life, this is the time you will be encouraged to seek the guidance and assistance of a professional in that relative field. Therapy and Coaching can work hand in hand together, yet depending on your own personal circumstances, coaching many need to pause whilst your emotional body is being healed. Know that seeking the assistance of a therapist is not shameful. It is an act of self-love and a consideration for your highest self that you recognise and potential blockages that require healing and release for you to truly step into connection with your whole self. Who do I work with? I work with people from all scopes of life. From those who know nothing about what “spirituality” is to those who are versed in different ideology. Soul coaching is a personal experience, and you may seek guidance and alignment in a professional/corporate scenario or to find alignment within yourself in your personal world. Coaching works for you how you want it to serve you. Is Spiritual Coaching religious? Spiritual coaching and I are not affiliated with any religion. Through your experience you may connect and resonate with different terminology of what spirituality is to you. God, Goddess, Divine, Universe, Great Mother, Highest Self, Source, Spirit. It is your own definition of your view of a higher power and how you choose to see it. Do I have to be local to work with you? The wonderful thing about the internet is the opportunity to connect no matter where you are. I am based on the Gold Coast, QLD, Australia, and I work with people based all over the world through the online portal of Zoom. I do politely request you are proficient in speaking my primary language of English. How do the online coaching sessions work? Our sessions are held through the application of Zoom. When you book a session, you will be emailed a unique link. If you are unable to use Zoom, Microsoft Teams can be used as an alternative upon request. What if coaching is no longer working out for me? I offer different coaching containers depending on your desired level of commitment. If for whatever reason you feel that our coaching containers are no longer serving you and you have remaining sessions left in your package, we can place your remaining sessions “on hold” to resume at a later date. I understand that things do come up and it can be challenging to show up for yourself, and I strongly encourage you to keep the sessions. This places a level of accountability on yourself to come back when you are ready, or we can simply “shift” our session focus to support you through your personal challenge.
