Here are the answers from Helen:

Q:  Hi HelenI have left my job of 21 years and was wondering should I look for another job or pursue writing a novel?  Melisa, Melbourne

A: Definitely pursue the novel. I think there is some casual/part time work you may pick up in between, but the novel needs to be the priority. I also feel like you already know this! It feels like you've already begun the novel or that you have plenty of material you need to sort through. The novel is an important part of who you are and your life purpose. It's important to see it through.   

Q: I feel I have a sixth sense myself is this true and also is buying this investment house the right thing to do.  Hayley, Emerald

A: I believe everyone has a sixth sense! I feel yours is strengthening and developing right now. You're experiencing many signs and symbols every day. Rely on your intuition, particulalry in decisons right now relating to your career.
Your investment is a good idea - but perhaps not right now. If you can wait, another opportunity will present itself and it will feel right. Listen to your instincts! The option you are considering is good on paper but will not turn out to be a help in the long run. 

 

Q: Hi Helen, My house has been on the market for quite awhile now. It's a beautiful house, and can't believe it hasn't sold. My friend thinks I might be emotionally hanging onto it & that's why it won't sell. Can you provide me with any help? thank you Sarah, Adelaide Hills

A: Sarah, there is some truth in your friend’s words, that it is an attachment you hold which is holding back the sale of the house. However, rather than it being your attachment to the actual house, I feel like it has more to do with an attachment to a relationship which needs to be cleared before the house can sell. In clearing out the feelings and emotions associated with this relationship (and it feels more like a romantic relationship than any other type of relationship), you will also clear the way for the house to sell. For whatever reason, this process needs to happen before you move on.  You will sell the house and be better off than had it sold when it first went on the market. March is also an important date in terms of this release of the old and new beginnings. Good luck!
 

Q: Hello Helen, I'm going to UK in June for 7 weeks for a family reunion but still have not found a loving animal lover to mind my little dog.Will I find someone suitable soon please? Thank you, Claire, Sydney

A: The simple answer is Yes! You will find a dog minder. I feel like you find this person through someone you already know or a connection you already have. You don’t need to use a formal arrangement/business/kennel to find your dog minder. It is important you still make your plans to head overseas as if you have already found the dog minder. If you continue to wonder whether or not you should go, energetically you will stop the very thing you want to happen from happening. That is, you’ll actually hinder yourself in trying to find the dog minder. This person turns up quite soon for you, within a few weeks. You’ll enjoy your trip tremendously and may even begin a cycle of more travel for you. 

Q: Should I be giving readings myself.  Leesa, Murwillumbah

A: Yes! Absolutely! You’ve been doing a lot of spiritual growth and development in recent times to prepare you for this kind of work. Readings and allowing yourself to channel information is something which comes quite naturally to you and requires little training or practice for you to take it to the next level. If you decide to follow this (and I hope you do), you start small and will still need another avenue to create income. You might like to talk to local operators or retailers about a small space to start from a few hours a week (or similar). It will grow from there and build of its own design. I feel that you are actually meant to be working with animals as well, healing and helping animals. In time, you may find a way to partner these two streams together, your readings and healing work with animals. Good luck! 

Q: Helen, although I love my career it doesn't seem to be bringing me in the income I thought it would, and I'm drowning in debt. Also I have been single for over 20 years and in that time have only had eyes for one man who isn't interested in me. Can you see any change in these 2 situations?  Kathryn, Adelaide

A: I feel like these two scenarios, your financial situation and your romantic situation, are actually related and making a change in one will positively affect change in the other. However, change in these situations will depend upon you committing to making the change, rather than waiting for the situations to simply change or waiting for something or someone to change instead. Let’s start with the relationship – you can have the relationship you want, however, right now you are actually closing yourself off at an energetic level by only having eyes for this other man. Over time, this has become a way for you to (whether consciously or not) block yourself off from other relationships. I believe there is a companion out there for you, if you allow it in. You might like to look at creating a vision board or working on affirmations to attract into your life what you really want. If you reclaim your energy in this relationship area, you may also find your debts begin to naturally ease.

In general, Kathryn, it feels to me like you are holding yourself back from what you truly want in many areas of your life. I feel like you have some sort of holiday/break mid next year where you take time out and make decisions about these changes and what you want from life. When you focus on yourself, not on others or what you don’t have, these blockages will begin to lessen. 

 

Q: My partner (who is retired) and I are soon to move to Phillip Island. There is little employment in the area and I desperately need to continue working - without loosing too much of my current salary. I'm very open to a career change as well as the lifestyle change. Do you see anything good for me in the near future or will I still be commuting and exhausted for a long time to come? Debra, Melbourne

A: In replying to you Debra, I’m immediately aware of my throat chakra - it feels there is a lot of things you’d like to say (within this situation/at work) but you’re holding back, or not asking for what you’d really like in the situation/of others/or what you would like the universe to provide. The move is a blessing in disguise to get you to slow your pace of life. I don’t feel like you will continue commuting after the move. In fact, the energy in your work space feels like you’re more in control and no longer having to race around reacting to the many demands around you and being pulled in different directions by the people you work with. It feels like the work you do after the move is more along the work-from-home/freelance/part-time/contract lines, where you are more in control of the work and which work you take on. It feels like you have many contacts who you can call upon to establish the work flow. You’re also servicing an area outside of Phillip Island to begin with, without the commute. It is important you take a little ‘breather’ during and immediately after the move to restore yourself. You will settle in better if you can find a flexible lifestyle and learn to slow down.

Q: I just don't know where my life is leading at the moment. I'm 45 and I've been single for 20 months with no prospect of finding anyone. I hate my casual job and don't know whether it's best to stay there as I've had no luck applying for any other positions. I just don't know which road to take. Christine, Blue Haven

A: I actually feel like a move is on the cards for you, Christine, or at least a change in your living arrangements. This acts as a catalyst for changes in other areas of your life. Your job does feel like it is a stop-gap, there is something more suited to you which becomes available and this is easier in the new year and following on from the changes in your living arrangements. It will present itself to you. The work you pick up offers more hours/stability but also maintains flexibility. After these changes, you find the relationship you are looking for. Focus on you for now, you won’t find it by looking! I also feel like there is no real shortage of opportunities for you to meet people, but at the moment you have your ‘blinkers’ on to a relationship. There are changes in the coming two months which will lead the way for other positive changes in 2010.
