When my website got hacked it felt like the end of the world, yet within a few hours, after self-healing and help, I found myself immensely grateful!
Find out how I made this transition, and the healing nuggets highlighted by this experience.

| Website hacked… | …my response… | …healing reflections |
| A client in India suggested my website might be infected with malware, as she’d been prompted to download a bogus anti-virus tool. | Dealing with a hacked website was too much to handle. I was busy, my site seemed to be working fine, perhaps any malware was in her computer. I carefully put this to one side. | We often ignore an initial warning sign, because we’re too busy or too afraid to face up to it. Denial. |
| I did notice my site dashboard was scrambled, but only on my desk computer, OK on my laptop. | Must be something to do with my desk computer. | And then ignore another warning sign… |
| I wanted to clarify how to make some adjustments to my site, and Skyped Dawud my ace website coach and advisor. As an afterthought at the end I said ‘By the way someone suggested my site may have been hacked…’ | When we go to the doctor or a healer, we sometimes leave what’s really bothering us to the end of the session, like an afterthought. | |
| Dawud took a quick look, and confirmed that it had indeed been hacked. He immediately removed the extra code. | Initial shock.Then relief that the site was quickly sorted. | We really want someone to fix us! |
| A few days later, the dashboard for my other website appeared scrambled. I emailed Dawud – was this site hacked? Yes. | I started to take notice of the warning signs, and sought help, as I had no idea how to deal with hacking. | We seek help. |
| I asked Dawud to sort the second site too. | Relief, things seemed under control. | We receive help – relief the issue seems sorted. |
| 20 minutes later an email from Dawud saying that the malware had dug more deeply into both sites, it would take longer, and cost more, to clean out. | Shock, frustration, anger – how had I let myself get into this position? | Frustration that it’s not sorted at all, in fact it’s got worse. |
| 10 mins later another email – it had gone deeper still – would take several hours and a much higher cost to clean both sites. | And worse. | |
| Dawud wasn’t available to discuss a way forward for several hours … | I realised I had to take responsibility for this and face up to it. | Eventually we take notice! |
| I remembered my tools, and quickly let go of all the feelings of frustration and anger (they didn’t even belong to me!). I connected with my LightSpheres to realign myself with my higher consciousness.Then I started to ask what’s right about this that I’m not getting….? | Then we take responsibility, and start to use the resources and tools we have. | |
| Then an idea emerged, for the amount it would cost to clean up my site, I could ask Dawud to set up the shell of a new site, with up to date functions, which I could develop myself. | A way forward emerges… | |
| 11pm my time, Dawud and I had another Skype conversation and agreed he would set up the new sites, with all the latest security, and install the themes, and I would take over from there in a couple of days. | I recognised that security and installing the new themes were beyond me, and sought expert help. Beyond that I could redevelop the sites myself, drawing on what I had learned from helping Clare set up our Spheres Of Light site.A good night’s sleep! | We recognise where we need help, and what we can do for ourselves. |
| In the shower the next morning I found myself feeling grateful my sites had been hacked, now I could make all the improvements I’d been thinking about for ages. | We see the benefit of the health issue. | |
| After Dawud completed his part, I realised I needed help with a few aspects of the theme. | I don’t like asking people for favours. I acknowledged that I give lots of help to others, so let that resistance go, and asked Clare who willingly helped me. | We ask our friends for help. |
| 10 days later both sites were up and running! | So much better! Still plenty of fine tuning to do. Now I’m in charge and enjoying making further improvements on an ongoing basis. | We continue to take responsibility for our health, and enjoy looking after ourselves! |

Hi May,
How does it get any better than this? I also believe that one door closes another bigger and better one opens.
Love the new look website, amazing colour scheme. Thank you for being you! x
Thanks Shanta, it does feel as if ‘infinite possibilities’ are opening up! Glad you like Delicious Healing’s new look.
Aah the Universe in action…..everything happens for a reason. Cleverly written, thank you for sharing. Love and light x
Yes Annabel, the Universe sure works in apparently mysterious ways, that sometimes only become clear later!
