Cathy Mc Donald
Energy Dynamics & Meditation Teacher, Voice Artist, Writer and Hypnotherapist
My learning started when I completed a B.Sc. degree in Physics, Chemistry and Mathematics, before becoming a school teacher. After further studies in Astro-Physics, I realised that to understand the world, one had to understand its language – energy dynamics. It explained everything, even how people behaved, and why they did so. Yet instead of exploring what was important, I obtained an LL.B law degree and practised as an advocate and member of the Cape Bar in Cape Town for fifteen years.
All that taught me was how not to behave, and I finally found the courage to step out of the box the world wanted me to live in, and went in search of people who could teach me about energy. I began by studying my own life first, and wrote Choosing to Heal – a journey through time into eternity and back. I found many teachers along the way, some real ones and some clients, from whose lives I learned even more than from my own life.
I practised as a Certified Hypnotherapist (non-medical), Certified Parts Therapy Facilitator, and Reiki Master Healer for a number of years. I was in the process of qualifying as a Zhineng Qigong Hunyuan Qi Therapist, and would have done so in May 2020, but Covid had other plans for us all. A new journey had begun, and it was much harder than I had expected. The process birthed my next book, The Puppet Master’s Secret.
I discovered that I was a chameleon. Wherever I happened to be, was where I belonged. We are energy beings living an interconnected life. If we look closely, we may begin to see how it all fits together, and eventually, we may even master the skill of living life on our own terms. Watching humanity go about living life in the spaces I blended into, created a space from which words could flow to capture the life held within each breath, and the silence in between.
And so it came that life unfolded into another book, The Master’s Touch. Eventually, after publication of this book, I realised that these three books formed a trilogy. My readers will understand why I have named it the Infinity Trilogy. For information on the suggested order of reading the books in the trilogy, please refer to the Author’s Note. At the end of The Master’s Touch, I was given a choice, and I made it in a heartbeat. I am now retired, for once allowing the Divine Plan to unfold the way that it must.
