Hi, I’m Melanie Kim Brockwell, author of The 10 Commitments (along with feature poet Louise Moriarty).

I didn’t say much about myself in the book. It didn’t feel like the place to do that. Plus, I change so much in a day it’s kinda pointless trying to pin myself down in a description that goes on record forever and ever.

What I can say is, for now, I live in south-east Queensland, Australia in a crumbling hardwood house on a small block with my husband and an endless string of native, and not-so-native, animals – adopted, street and otherwise. I write. I read cards, and have lots and lots of books.

Being Uncontainable

On the night of my birth, as my mother went into labour, a lightbulb exploded above the bed to signal I was coming. It was as if the universe knew to forewarn everyone that the energy I bring with me is uncontainable.

Even now, as I’m headed into my fifth decade on the planet, I still feel that sense of being too big for my human form. There have been many a vision showing me this very thing. My taller than, farther out, expansive unbounded interdimensionalness of being. In constant movement. Flowing outward then condensing back again. An aura with no perceptible edge. A frame with no concrete centre.

2025 Year of the humanitarian

Twenty twenty-five, year of the green yin-wood snake, has been no exception. I feel unbounded, growing and receding almost simultaneously.

Perhaps b/c it’s a 9 year, every time I work on the book – editing for the publisher, etc – I’m expanded out into what it means from a larger perspective, and that feels extraneous in some ways but also clarifying. Answering questions I didn’t know to ask. About who I am in my business, in the world. And how I operate as a person. My message, my offerings, and so on.

It’s funny since I live my life internally-focused, and this year is about inner transformation, but the more I do me, the more I’m lead into outside spaces, working in the world.

Projects In The Works

There are several projects upcoming. Some have been in the works for over a decade. Others not so much. The larger pieces will take some time to finalise. The Perfect Present, for example, may not re-launch until early next year. While smaller offerings, such as LMQ, can come out as The 10 Commitments is published.

My next big book is How To Be Medicine, the namesake of my business and the inspiration behind everything that headed me in this direction, toward business, offering services, and penning ideas to the ground. It will not be complete anytime soon. The concepts and content, however, make their way into everything I do. So, in a way, it’s always already out there.

Here’s a list of what to expect:

• The 10 Commitments guide PDF. Extra information that explains a lot of the thinking from the book in more detail.
• LMQ online resource. The Living Master Equation is a process to support your exploration of how this is serving you.
• The Perfect Present 8-Week Experience. An online enquiry into what it is you’re really after and how to make peace with that, or not.
• How To Be Medicine, the book.
• One-On-One appointments.
• Oracle readings.
• Patreon.
• Oracle of Excitation card deck.
• Other books/offers – Deva Avatar, Left At The Watermelon, and Living In Two Worlds… among others.

How to keep in touch

I’ll be adding links for you to check out what’s happening in the list above but in the meantime I’ll create a sign-up list for those who want direct emails from me, soon!
