If you’ve read the hit novel, Tilda is Visible (and if you haven’t, you must) - the story of a woman who becomes invisible in her 50s (sound familiar?), you might have suspect author Jane Tara is channelling her own life.

Turns out, she kind of was.

Jane Tara has written more than a hundred children’s books, novels and plays, but she’s never been as revealing as she is in this deeply personal piece of autofiction. She admits the novel is a thinly veiled invitation for all of us to wake up to the truth that true fulfilment begins with self-discovery.

In this episode of My Spiritual Side Jane opens up about her own quest to find herself - through divorce and kids growing up - and the inner work required to override the relentless negative voices in our head. She shares why she never misses her daily meditation, how she refried her life at 50 and why spirituality doesn’t need to be a chore.

In this episode, Jane shares:

•          Her morning meditation ritual that sets the tone for each day

•          The messages of personal growth, healing and childhood trauma woven through Tilda is Visible

•          Her writing mission: “Make them care.”

•          The many failed attempts at meditation before finally landing on a practice that worked

•          Why spirituality should feel joyful, not heavy

•          How a Dr Joe Dispenza meditation changed the course of her life on her 50th birthday

•          The personal growth tools that helped her rise after divorce and other challenges

•          How to override the negative voices - including her own internal critic, “Pearl”

•          How the brain “value tags” repeated thoughts, and how to interrupt the negative loop

•          The power of vision boards for positive manifestation

•          Her visualisation philosophy: “Visualise beyond what you want.”

Key Quotes

“The older I get, I feel like our journey and our spirituality should be playful. It should be fun. If you find something a drag, it's just not your path”.

“Somewhere along the line, I started to think of this work as an adventure. How lucky are we to be having this life experience and to be on this adventure where we get to, if we put in the work, see the mystical and magical around us”.

“Your life is not going to change because you change where you live or the relationship or the job. You've got to change how you think about it all. You've got to start changing those thoughts”.

“You don't really get what you want, you don't get what you're thinking you want. You get how you're feeling at a vibrational level”.

“Everything goes back to self worth. Do you think you are worthy of these wonderful things or not?”

“We are spiritual beings having a human experience”.

Key Mantra:

“Things as they are, no mortal has ever seen, though the words be familiar as household words and perpetually on the lips of men. We cannot see things as they are, for we are compelled by a necessity of nature to see things as we are”.
