I am the author of The Upward Spiral series of books, which tell the story of my own journey of transformation and empowerment. I was born in South Africa to Italian parents and am the first generation in South Africa. I am a twin to an awesome brother and have two older siblings who are my wonderful, caring sisters. I have lived in SA for most of my life and have currently moved to Cyprus, an island near Greece.
My childhood was one of many challenges. My mother died when I was seven and my father when I was fourteen. My twin and I were left with the “wicked stepmother” as my two older siblings were married and had left home already; they were a lot older than we were. In South Africa, there is a term in Afrikaans that says “laat lammetjie,” which is an endearing term for late sweet lamb.
Losing both parents at fourteen took my twin and me into a place where we had to learn the difficult lesson of realising that you are alone in the world and sooner rather than later have to become resilient and walk your path carrying all the baggage that comes with you on that path. The baggage is not what you would have chosen to carry with you, it is made up of your wounded ego which keeps on reflecting to you your mistaken beliefs, false illusions, and pain. It can feel like watching a horror movie with no choice or direction in creating the story.
We both were steadfast and strong and faced life with all the positivity and absolute certainty that we could grow into anything we choose, and achieve against all odds. It has been a thread in our beautiful tapestry that has held us both together through many challenges. This thread of gold was the treasure we held in our aura.
My thirties marked the beginning of my spiritual journey, searching and seeking mystical information and seeing into the realms of heavenly consciousness. Looking through the veils of deception, knowing that energy exists and is real and has a frequency. Energy can be moulded into varying vibrations, depending on how clear your vessel is, how open you are to connecting with your inner divinity, your life spark and your purpose in harnessing the light matching your specific, unique soul print. A deep knowing of this was the sail that pushed me through the stormy waters.
I was running a culture exchange intervention in a few companies and worked with the company from the top level down to cleaners. It was such a fulfilling experience sharing our needs and insecurities. This led to the creation of a brand, a vision and a value system that was so powerful that those who were weak links and didn’t resonate on a higher level simply fell away, no need to ask them to leave. This ethos became so entrenched and the companies all did exceptionally well with their improved productivity and vision that it got me thinking.
What if I could do the same for private people in enhancing their inner selves and potential? I realized how so many people are held back, by their limiting beliefs, perceptions and wounds. If these could be cleared and rewired, they would fly. This gave me the passion and driving force to share my story and write my first book which tells the story of why we are blocked, do not progress and make the wrong choices in our lives. This, I believe, is because of the computer chip, the program, that subconsciously runs our lives.
This was the awakening that motivated me to write The Upward Spiral. It came as a lightning bolt of inspiration, a force that couldn’t be held back. I just had to get this philosophy out that felt so real and true to me. I began writing and literally could not stop, the words just flowed as though I was being channelled from above. I would write a paragraph, in automatic mode, then read it and wondered where it came from. Each word was filtered into a high frequency; if a word felt low or negative I would change it. It was completely written from every part of my soul and I knew right then, that it was a message that needed to be heard and would help change many people’s lives. There was born The Upward Spiral series. This philosophy led to My Alignment Coaching Technique as well as my healing offerings.
There is in all of us a program, which I call our chip. This chip rules our lives and makes us choose certain directions and people in our lives. This happens subconsciously without any of us knowing that this is happening. Often we find ourselves in the same situations as years before and shake our heads wondering how it happened. We truly have no idea how we got to be in the same cycle yet again! This chip is the computer program that runs our lives and gives us the output, which is our current reality.
“By recognising this internal program, your own emotional coding and the personality prism that binds you, one can begin to take steps forward and reshape their narrative. Being conscious, breaking the trap and the ropes that bind one in victim consciousness, you can now see the unseen and know how to simply move out of it, step sideways and move your body into a new projectory, where your vessel is clear of skewed perceptions and mistaken beliefs and outlooks. You can see clearly, control your destiny and move into proactive rather than reactive behaviours. This awareness will shift your life as you raise frequency and consciousness and embrace your new way of being, in courage and co-creative consciousness.” — Val Toledo
Engaging in The Upward Spiral series will give you life skills to navigate the challenges in your life, move you out of reactivity into calm responsiveness, empower you to make the best choices for your highest well-being, and change the life you live in courage and neutrality.
