Serpent Earth Health

Everything is hard.
Everything will require some pain.
Stillness is hard.
Action is hard.
Everything is hard at the beginning, but....what gets good as it gathers momentum?
If everything is hard then what feels good once it is done?
If everything is hard, then what will be useful to you right now?
If everything is hard, then do the things that will make tomorrow easier.
If everything is hard anyway, then ask yourself what is the truth?
If your attitude is making everything harder, do the hard thing and work on changing it.
If blame is making everything hard, then do the hard thing of starting to take back your power, and responsibility.
Keep growing.
If knowing too much is hard, remember, you do not know it all.
Look, and see what different hard, you could try.
Open your eyes to what else this could be, other than hard.

What if I told you that this is what your pain looks like?

Could shame, grief and sadness be so powerful? So beautiful?

Could this be in you, waiting to be seen for it's entire truth, and not just be branded as bad and excommunicated.

What you have within you goes far beyond you current perception.

Have you given all of you a chance?

Your pain is welcome here.

Do not base your self worth on other people's opinions.
People are full of projection.
People are managing their own discomfort.
People are wrestling with their early childhood development foundation plants.
People are compartmentalizing to manage their overwhelm.
People can believe their own bu****it.
People can offer compliments to make themselves feel good, and criticism to reduce the self harm.

So can you, so don't be to hard on them.

You were born because we need you.
Know your worth, don't rely on others to tell you about it.
Self worth does not need to feel good.
It just is, it belongs to us all, don't let someone try to make you pay for air, go ahead and fill your lungs.

With Care,
Angel

Do you want to leave your spouse? Abandon expired friendships, walk away from a toxic parent or sibling?

The destructive nature of long term relationships with anyone in your life, be it lover, family or friend, can feel like an insidious long term hostile wreckage.

Repetitive careless behavior.
Belligerent boundary trespassing.

Like a bull in an antique shop, our 'other halves' can be an utterly bamboozling experience.
Sometimes.

And sometimes things align, and are bright and have immense utility and care, and comfort.
You may have a partner or other person that proceeds with caution around your wounds, and cares about their impact on you.
You may not.

You may be married by the neck of each others wounds.
Bound in a family by traumatized blood from conception.
Or you may be engaged with others so softly softly and beautifully, elegantly in every direction.

What is most important regardless of the temperature of a relationship, is that you are growing.
If you are not growing, exploring and curious about yourself you are missing out on a truly organic lived opportunity to see yourself, know yourself and grow yourself.

Forget about the 'other half' for a moment. What is here for you? Of course it's not going to be all pretty, we are complex beings created from the imagination of Gods. So what can you learn about yourself, what do you see, and then...what do you want to see?

Write it all down. Start here, that is all you have to do for now in this emotional wave of relationship, just write with the intention of understanding and growing yourself. Forget about the other.

When we know and grow ourselves, we gift everyone around us.
Relationships come and go, or endure and grow.

Relationships can make us sick, or be an opportunity to know our selves more deeply than ever before.

All long term relationships should help to destroy ourselves, shed our skin and grow into our new advanced selves.

Before you destroy or remove yourself from something or someone, find the eye of the storm of this relationship or circumstance and observe yourself from there first.

Don't rush it, breathe through it, and observe your beautiful self in this great discomfort.

Before you rise like a phoenix to escape, be still in the fire, be still in the ashes and know yourself from this place.

There is a precious gift for you alone, here.

The rise to the next version of yourself is inevitable, but once this fire goes out you will have missed an opportunity to know yourself from this place, this place that needs to be illuminated by this fire to be seen, lest you repeat an insidious pattern, rather than understanding yourself, illuminated by the fire of reflection.

It's not the other person reflecting you, it's you reflecting you, you bursting at the seams wanting to be seen by you. So don't run away from the discomfort you feel, look long and deep into the well of your being, until you do not recognize your old self anymore.

Then, you will be free.

Food as Medicine and Psychotherapy are a match made in heaven.

Countless studies have confirmed that food is a major player in mood.

Highly processed foods contribute to anxiety and depression. These are the facts.

How is your gut? How is your diet? How is your mental health? This trio when held with love and care, can be life changing.

If you are not happy with where your life is now, write down why, in detail.
You don't have to show anyone, just let this truth come out and be expressed.
Then say "I see you, I'm listening."

Talk and listen to these places with compassion and love.
Let it sit with you, and speak to you for the day.

Then the next day, begin writing what you want, how you want to feel, what you need, and don't stop.
Every day, every second day, once a week, however you like, just keep writing where you are going, and think about that during the day.

Change can start start here. Write.

Do not look outside of your yourself for love, care and attention.
Start with yourself.
If you can not give yourself love, care and attention, you will always be hurt by the measly efforts that drip into your empty cup.
It must start with you.
If you are created from the same divine dust as everyone else, the power you need of love, care and attention, is in you, the same way.
It's also contagious.
It's also magnetic. Yes.
Start with yourself, even if you don't believe it at first, just keep knocking on the door of love, care and attention, and the door WILL open.

Serpent Earth Health

What inspired you to become a Naturopath & Psychotherapist?
I wanted to build something that could heal and grow people on a deeper level than I had seen. I love people, I love connecting with people and I love being with people when they are in crisis. Working in shadow is a very natural place for me, I understand and appreciate its immense worth, thus helping people navigate their shadow world, is a pleasure. I knew I had something to offer that wasn’t out there, that was needed, and that I am passionate about.

What is the most fulling part of your job?
Watching the changes unfold in my patients, physically and mentally. Witnessing the growth and healing that unfolds, and the expansion of self, it’s an elating experience that gives me great joy.

What is your favourite way to start the day?
Before the sun comes up, and before the house is awake. I say loving things to myself as I open my eyes (I’ve trained myself to do this), and give thanks for being alive. Always with meditation. And coffee (which often comes before the meditation).

What is one thing you’ve always wanted to try but haven’t yet?
I can’t think of one, there are so many! Latin dance lessons, serious weightlifting, nudist beaches, large event speaking, first class flying, walking pilgrimages, winter sea immersion, the list goes on.

What is your favourite travel destination and why?
South Africa! I’m lucky enough to be married to a South African, and visiting family is important to us. South Africa is alive, wild, beautiful, you can feel the pulse of life when you are there. I love the friendliness of people, the bushveld and family time. The place I have the most affinity with in South Africa, is Magaliesburg, known as the Cradle of Humankind. I can feel the ancient humming in my bones, it’s a special magic there.

Resentment and bitterness are a ploy to distract you from living your truth, it is a trick to keep you distracted from your power.
Know its story, listen intently and let it be heard.
Breathe the story out of your mind and make way for your future.

Your liver, adrenals, gut and skin may be impacted from holding and ruminating over these feelings.

When people come in with this as the source of pain in their life we might engage with, psychotherapy, meditation, somatic and energy work, and a bottle of beautiful herbs to support and replenish the liver and adrenals.

You and the resentment you carry, are welcome here.

The ocean asked me to visit and so I did.
We spoke about its healing power, and how the salty air dissolves panic.

From the forest, to the ocean, bush and desert, these are the places where the gods speak to me with such strength, that it makes my mind still.

Ongoing education is essential for any health care provider.
The science is always changing or growing.
There are always fresh ideas, theories and research being pumped out.
Anecdotal experiences are always of interest as the individual response is real even if it has yet to be replicated.
There is always someone who knows more than you, so I must continue being curious and passionate.
This is easy for me.
This month I have been educated through multiple avenues:

* I've been in Autism conferences, to better understand Autism, how it presents, and how to better understand ways of discovering what a person needs.

*Family Violence, how to recognize and respond appropriately, effectively and carefully.

*How to Target the Limbic System to Reverse Trauma’s Physiological Imprint.

*Pathology training, discovering more in your blood test results and how to utilize this information in clinic.

Care is my passion, and people are what I care for.

Everything is hard today. So I slowly and carefully handpicked each choice with compassion as it was all too hard.
I chose to get up early and sit in silence with a coffee looking out onto the trees for an hour to fill up on peace and space.
I chose to give my children everything they asked for this morning, that is more attention, time, rest and a lunch order.
I chose not to engage in any negative or toxic conversations.
I dressed comfortably.
I didn’t over think my food and just ate until I was full.
I put on one load of washing, but I didn’t make my bed.
I took the dogs for a walk so we could be in the sun together.
I prepared for my clients with more stillness.
I ignored dinner but made a cake.
I refused to overthink anything at all.
Today is hard but peaceful.

Have you never been well since...?

Naturopathy is the perfect modality of care if this is you. Because it looks at every part of the body that has been, or may be effected, and reaches each of these parts.

If you're not sure what it was, or when it was that things started to change, in Naturopathy we will go through your life timeline, and pinpoint the trigger areas.

Clarity, and a plan of action.

Book in your Naturopathy appointment with me online @ www.serpentearthhealth.com.au
appointments available at my private clinic, Natural Wellness Centre and online.

Forest Bathing - beauty offers respite, even if it’s just for a moment.

If you fail today.
If you are taken by shock today.
If grief pours through your heart today.
If shame submerges you today.
If confusion drowns you today.

Stop. Put a hand over your heart, and breathe in until your lungs are full, hold your breath for as many seconds as you can.
As you release your breath, ask for guidance and clarity to come through you, ask for help and care. Use any words that are meaningful to you.

Surrender your ordeal to the higher places, if you don't know what to do with yourself in these feelings, this is the place that can help you.

Surrender, humility, let go, go through the process of releasing this and asking for help, even if you are not sure.
So please, be kind to yourself and surrender to loving breath.

If you can not quiet the mind, you will never find the gold.

Practice stillness, quiet, observe your thoughts. What you think, you become. What you put your energy on, is propelled.

You can be released from the loops of thought that unconsciously define your days.

First stop reacting. Then watch the waves of thoughts carry on without you.

They are not needed, so you do not have to hold onto them, ever.

Think of beautiful things as often as you remember too.

Wattle. Wattle is hope. Wattle is the “one more push”.

When the yellow bursts of powder break through the winter, there is a ping in my heart and sparks in my smile, for hope is here.

Just when I thought there was nothing left, I found a little bit more.

Blocked emotions accumulate, it will find the weak spot in your body and systems and land there. The long game, dampens , confuses and overwhelms the spirit, and can lead to chronic illness.

This is why our mind, body and spirit need to be seen, heard and loved.

Morning meditation.
My day starts at 5:30 and starts with meditation - opening my eyes after a deep meditation I usually find something like this.
“Oh wow” is an excellent way to start the day.

If you are a family carer (where you don't get to clock off and get paid), and you are not allocating time to receive the one on one care you need, you will make yourself sick.

A carer of an unwell spouse/ partner. When their needs must come first.
All children require care, but then there are children with additional needs.
If you are driving people to their appointments, filling out forms, managing medications and huge meltdowns, violent outburst, food refusal and demand attachment.
When a family member has an addiction problem.'
When a family member has a mental health issue that requires concern, care and constant boundary implementing that makes you uncomfortable.
When most of your spare time is used to meet other peoples needs.
When a persons needs are in constant evaluation and consideration to maintain safety.
When the person is oblivious to the impact they are having on carers and family members.

Find a place to vent. Find a place to speak your truth. Make the time for your health and care. Because no body else can, you must create it. You won't regret it. Heart to Heart.

You are worthy.

Is this your inner world?
Perfect.
Now we can get to work and find all that buried gold.
The buildings may be destroyed, but there is so much more underneath that illusion of self.

The sun will keep rising and setting regardless of how you feel.
Your way of being here, is the only thing that can make the difference.
Light in darkness, the deeper the darkness, the greater the ecstasy.

Open your eyes, don't be afraid to see how bad it is. There is always something waiting on the other end.

When you need more than just healing.

The Night of the Dark Soul.

There is power here, wisdom, magic, direct connection to source. It was not designed to just hurt you, though it may feel that way. There is more. They just forgot to tell us there is more, they actually forgot themselves that there is more.

I haven't though. These places are direct connection to the ecstatic. There is light in the darkness, the deeper you go, the more you shall reap.

When you are tired of that old cold professional minimum from health care providers, this is where you want to land.

A place of heart, depth and non judgment. A place of curiosity, where you are seen and taken seriously. A place of warm, thoughtful action and soul.

It takes the mind, body and spirit to truly know thyself, and find more than just healing.

Because you are more than what the world sees. So much more.
