🌄 Taking a Higher View

Yesterday was a tough one. After having a fantastic day on Sunday, I overdid it — and my body let me know. My blood sugars were high, my leg sore again, and I felt miserable and frustrated.

But sometimes, life makes us pause — not to punish us, but to give us a higher perspective. When I went back to the surgery, I had to change antibiotics, and it made me think deeply about what’s really going on — not just physically, but spiritually too.

I’ve been researching more about healthy, holistic ways to support healing and doing what I can each day. But what really struck me was this: so many of the things I’ve spoken about on my YouTube channel — about awakening, higher vision, and the Third Eye — are happening now.

When we look at our challenges through the lens of our Higher Self, we start to see the purpose behind the pain. We slow down, we go deeper, and we begin to awaken to a new level of awareness.

So today, instead of seeing myself as the victim, I choose to see this setback as an upgrade — a chance to grow, to listen, and to help others awaken too.

Sometimes, the healing journey isn’t just about the body — it’s the soul’s way of saying,
“Stop. Look deeper. You’re evolving.” 💫

Stay strong, stay aware, and remember: the higher view always brings the clearer vision.

🌞 The Road of Life 🌞

Sometimes life takes us on roads we never expected — full of twists, turns, and the odd bump along the way.
There are times we need to stop, lift our hands up, and simply surrender to the journey — trusting that every pause, every challenge, and every ray of sunshine has a purpose.

Other times, we’re called to take that brave step forward, no matter how small, and just keep going.
And sometimes, we just need to stand still, breathe, and soak in the healing energies — from the sun, from nature, and from the love of family and friends. 💫

After my recent heart scan showing all clear, I’m so grateful to be back on the road again — slowly but surely, feeling re-energised and alive. 💪
I’ll be taking it steady, offering video sessions for now, and I’m excited for a big event in Inverness at the end of the month (details coming soon!).

We’ve even postponed our Malta trip till next year — meaning I’ll be celebrating my big 6-0 in the UK this December! 🎉
It’s going to be a special year — one of healing, gratitude, and joy.

To anyone walking their own challenging road right now — keep going, trust the journey, and never, ever give up.
You never know what beautiful view is waiting around the next bend. 🌈

💛 A Spiritual Pause for Healing 💛

Sometimes the universe whispers… and sometimes it shouts!
Lately, I’ve been dealing with cellulitis, and it’s really made me stop in my tracks.

As frustrating as it is to have to let people down and change plans at the last minute, Spirit has made it clear — it’s time for me to rest, heal, and listen.

On a spiritual level, cellulitis often appears when we’ve been doing too much, giving too much, or carrying too much energy for others. It’s the body’s fiery reminder to slow down and take care of our own light. 🔥

Because of my diabetes, I’m being extra careful about crowds just now, so I’ll be doing video sessions only until I’m back to full strength. It’s not easy for me to step back, but I know healing takes patience — and faith.

I want to say a huge thank you to Angela, my amazing wife, who’s been an absolute rock — and to all my clients and friends who’ve sent healing messages, love, and understanding. I truly appreciate every one of you. 🙏

And because I always try to find the light in things… what’s been keeping my spirits high is my own “What’s the Craic?” cards!

They remind me to keep laughing, stay hopeful, and see the wee blessings, even on tough days.

The new sets are arriving in the next two weeks, just in time for a bit of festive positivity! 🎄💫

So aye, this might be Spirit’s way of saying, “Slow down, Derek!” — but it’s also reminding me that healing, gratitude, and humour are powerful medicine.

Thank you all for your continued love, patience, and support. I’ll be back shining soon — just taking it one day at a time, with a smile and a cuppa! ☕✨

With love and light,

💚 Heart Awakening & Rebirth 💚
I’ve been through a deep period of reflection, healing, and powerful synchronicities lately — from 6:06 and 8:08 to today’s Hermit energy and the clocks turning back.
It’s all connected… the heart awakening, time shifting, and collective rebirth we’re feeling right now.

🎥 Watch my new video on Heart Awakening, in my new blog post The Hermit & The Death Card, and what these signs really mean.
Sometimes the universe speaks through numbers, symbols, and even time itself.

🌟 Living in the Now 🌟

The last few weeks have been a real wake-up call for me,
Derek McGillivray – A Happy

Medium.I’ve been seriously ill… at one point, I honestly wondered if this was it.

When I was in hospital, the ward I was in was full of people in their 80s — many nearing the end of their lives, some living with dementia.

It was heartbreaking at times watching the nurses doing their best, trying to help everyone stay calm, clean, and cared for.

It made me really stop and think — in 20 years’ time, that could be me.

But it also reminded me that it doesn’t have to be.If I take my own advice — live in the now, eat better, stay active, laugh more, forgive quicker, and stop worrying about the past — then maybe those years ahead will be full of memories, love, and laughter instead.

While I was thinking about it today, I pulled one of my “What’s the Craic?” cards:💧 “Away an’ wash yer minging!” — it made me smile.

A reminder to cleanse yourself from negativity and let others stew in their own muck if that’s what they choos.

Then another one popped up…

🤣 “Yer no’ a fat bastard!” —

that gave me a proper laugh, especially after losing a bit of weight in hospital!

Sometimes humour really is the best healer.I’m just so grateful to still be here — to be creating, learning, and sharing.

With my book launching on November 7th and my cards arriving mid-November, there’s so much to look forward to.

New beginnings, new purpose, and a deeper appreciation for every breath we take.

“Be thankful for every breath, every lesson, and every laugh — life’s too short not to live it fully.”

With love, light, and a wee bit of Scottish banter,
