Style with Soul Interviews: Carla Ireton

As I always say, the way we present ourselves is about so much more than just the clothes we wear and that’s why I always encourage a holistic approach if you’re wanting a true transformation.  Carla, can you tell us why it’s so important to clear our energy to present the best version of ourselves?

We are energy magnets. People are always responding to our energy whether we know it or not.

If we are buzzing negative energy….. we are going to attract towards us negative people and experiences to resonate with.

The same is true for positive energy. The clearer our energy field is, the more positive we feel, drawing towards us more positive people and fulfilling experiences.

When our energy is clear we no longer need a false mask or false front to hide our negative feelings or emotions. Instead, we are free to express the most authentic and best version of our self to others; our calm, confident and happy self.

The benefits of clearing our energy field on a daily basis is enormous, it includes better health and wellbeing, greater intimacy in relationships, clearer communication, the ability to act on opportunities that are presenting themselves and a deeper level of trust and honesty. Who doesn’t want that?

Why do you believe we should be living a life more aligned with our soul? 

A lot of experience has shown me that when we are aligned with our soul’s purpose we automatically experience more pleasure and less pain.

As women, we have a natural yearning that calls us to live a more soul aligned life and we can always rely on our body to tell us when we are heading the wrong way.

When we are out of alignment with our soul we’ll always experience some type of warning. At first it may be just a tiny niggle, a pain here, indigestion there or an inability to sleep, but over time, if ignored, our body always makes sure we get the message loud and clear.

Whether the message takes the form of increased physical pain, migraines, back pain, autoimmune disorders or it just begins to yell at us “There is so much more to life, wake up!” accompanied by feelings of anxiety, disappointment and despair.

When we choose to live a life more aligned with our soul, we not only enjoy a blessed life but we also make a difference in other peoples lives as well.

Here are three different stories which come to mind about three unique women I’ve worked with. They all chose to live more soul aligned lives and this is what happened when they did:

A thirty-four year old woman contacted me about The Course because she was overwhelmed with shame and guilt. She was married to a man, had two children and had fallen in love with a woman at work. Her head was full of voices, her family relationships devastated and her self confidence shattered. She practiced clearing her aura daily and within weeks she was able to move forward guilt free, celebrate her new relationship and begin studying for a new career. A year later she qualified as a Women’s Wellbeing Coach.

Another client, an Advertising and Marketing Executive, was suffering from insomnia and stress. She wanted to make changes in her career but didn’t know how or what. After practicing The Course, clearing the emotional energy pattern of “doing what she was told to do rather than what she wanted to do” she discovered her soul’s purpose. She left her job, moved to the Gold Coast and opened a Healing Clinic utilising her advertising and marketing skills to create a successful business helping others.

One of my very first clients signed up for The Course because she was now in her mid thirties and after a succession of failed relationships was desperate to find true love, settle down and have a family. After clearing the emotional energy of grief and guilt from her aura (which was connected to her very first love who committed suicide when she was only a teenager), she finally felt free to move on and be true to herself. She went on to write a book for teenage girls, meet a man she fell in love with and is now engaged to be married.

As each woman realigned with her soul’s calling, she went on to live a more fulfilling life, she got to share her unique gifts and talents and go on to do greater things in the world, making a difference to others lives in her own special way.

How can what you wear connect you closer with your inner soul? 

Your inner soul vibrates a particular unique vibration and everyone has a unique colour frequency and a unique sound vibration.

You can use the outer world to help you connect with the inner world. Wearing the right colour and listening to the right music which matches your frequency will enhance your life experience enormously.

How do you know if you’re wearing the right colour for you? 

You’ll know because it raises your vibration towards feelings of happiness, joy, love, connection. Other people may comment that they like that colour on you or that you look ‘amazing’ today. And when you wear this colour it not only raises your vibration but it also raises the vibration of others just by being in your presence.

What colour do you love to wear and why? How does it make you feel? 

Over the years I’ve noticed the colours I like to wear change to support me as I go through different changes in my life. At the moment my favourite colour to wear is orange.

The colour orange represents pleasure, creativity, intimacy, warmth and emotional expression – all the qualities that are important to me and are at the forefront of my life and work. Wearing orange makes me feel generous, connected and alive.

What about your soul colour? 

I’d say its’ red, because when I wear red, it not only looks great with my dark hair and olive skin, people frequently comment and gravitate towards me.

When we dress each morning it’s not just about what we choose to wear, what else do we need to be mindful of? 

I think one of the best things we can do each morning is to tune into the way we are feeling and then use colour to compliment and support us by the clothes we wear.

If you wake up feeling tired you can choose a colour that has an uplifting nature such as red for extra energy and power.

If you have a speaking assignment, wear blue as it has a calming effect and will energise the throat chakra which is the centre of communication.

If you feel shy or alone the colour green will support you, connecting you to the qualities of the heart such as love, compassion and empathy.

I believe taking the time to tune in to how you feel through out the day is a necessary step towards self love. Once you have identified how you’re feeling you can then take the necessary steps towards taking care of yourself by clearing negative energy out of your aura and adding positive vibrations in, through the colours you wear, music you listen to, food you eat, people you associate with, positive thoughts, etc.

You’ve touched a couple of times on The Course, can you give everyone a brief insight to what The Course is all about? 

The Course came about through my own personal experience of wanting to heal my body, my relationships and my life.

When I was twenty-six I was in a relationship that was going no where. We no longer made love and even though we were good friends, I had a deep yearning for so much more. It was during this relationship that I had my first experience of true healing.

For six months I was having difficulty walking and sleeping due to an agonising pain in my hip. My Doctor referred me to a Surgeon who informed me I needed surgery which involved cutting through my femur (main leg bone), rotating it and then reattaching it with metal pins so the bone could knit back together. The Surgeon said my twisted pelvis and spine were causing nerve damage and I was put on an urgent waiting list.

Three weeks before the operation my friends neighbour was cured of cancer by a lady who did a type of colour therapy which worked on the aura called Aura Soma.

I made an appointment to see that lady and five days later the pain in my hip was completely gone. Needless to say, I cancelled the surgery and a week later ended my relationship.

I began to study everything I could find on energy healing and discovered Barbara Ann Brennan’s book Hands Of Light. A former NASA physicist, Barbara studied the energy around the earth and then applied the theory to the human body, discovering all physical problems show up in the aura or human energy field and as a result, people can heal by clearing blocks in their energy field.

And so my exploration into energy healing began whilst also working as a Massage Therapist and Yoga Teacher. I started learning all about energy healing and how to clear energy blocks for my clients while on the massage table and the yoga mat. I learnt to read energy and was able identify where, what and why the blocks were there and how they were effecting people.

When I was thirty-six another relationship ended due to my partner falling in love with my best friend. I thought I had the perfect life. We ran three busy healing clinics, had a great group of friends, travelled overseas every year and then boom! I had no life skills to handle such a heart breaking experience. I walked away with one suitcase and got on a plane to Byron Bay, Australia, to start again.

And you know that pain in my hip? Well, it returned. Big time! The surgeon said I now needed a Hip Joint Replacement, but instead I saw an Aura Soma Practitioner. This time, however, it didn’t work. For three long years I desperately tried every alternative therapy to ease the pain, nothing helped, until I met an elderly lady I fondly came to know as The Seer.

The Seer taught me how to heal myself. She taught me how to heal my hip pain, my relationships and my life by using a healing technique to clear emotional charged energy from my aura and release ‘energetic sitters’ such as my ex partner and my ex best friend from my energy field. Everything I had learnt about energy healing finally fell in to place.

The Seer taught me a gentle and painless energy healing practice (which I teach on The Course) to use everyday and it healed me.

And the hip pain? You guessed it, it disappeared.

Now I share all that I learnt from The Seer and twenty-five years of healing experience via The Course, an online personal coaching and healing program for women.
