Introducing the Author

This is an introductory post to let you know a little about me. I hope that this will help you as a reader understand some of the experiences and attitudes that inform the writing and advice available here.
















My name is Gala Hallelujah, I am 26 and live in Melbourne, Australia. I am part artist, part academic, part shaman, but I am mainly just someone who is on the path: seeking knowledge, growth and enlightenment amidst everyday life.

I grew up in a new-age household, which put me on the path from an early age. My mother runs the fabulous Australian School of Tarot that offers tarot readings and classes. I have completed her courses, so my main modality has been Tarot reading. I also work intuitively, practice reiki, have experience with a wide array of development techniques and alternative therapies, have participated in a lot of ceremony and am gifted with the ability to work with sound healing. I am influenced by western esotericism, shamanism, Christianity, voodoo and popular culture.

I see my life as a journey that is oriented to spiritual learning and see most actions as part of my daily practice. This is because it is what I discover along the way - by being open to spiritual guidance and listening intuitively - that brings me the greatest spiritual insight and understanding. Hopefully I can share some of it here with like-minded individuals.

To keep myself happy I paint. I am currently working on painting a series of mandalas that work to embody spiritual energies and symbols. They are designed for healing and meditation, but are also great fun to put on a wall. I will feature images of these on here as they are made! I also love to sing and create music and am often humming away, making tunes, performing and enjoying the incredible vibrations that music brings into your life.

I have a Masters in Cinema Studies and am currently studying to become a psychologist. In the long term, I’m working on becoming a therapist that works between mainstream and metaphysical modalities. Considering this aim, this blog is a way to start thinking about psychology and spirituality in practice and to start expanding upon some of the ideas that I think bring the two together.

I hope that you find something in this blog that helps you in your journey.

Love and Light - Gala
