Today I was given the very great honour of preparing and carrying out a send-off of a very kind and beautiful man who was greatly loved. This has been a dream of mine, to bring ceremony to the final voyage of souls beyond this body into the next stage of their journey.

It couldn’t have been more beautiful ♥️ thank you Elsa and thank you Jim for your trust and your magic. 🙏🏼🌕

Travel well Jim ⛵️ 🌅 🦅 all of our love goes with you.

The church is gorgeous if you’d like to have a wander before class (beautiful roses) and the hall opposite is where we practice. It’s called Claines Insitute Hall and it’s on School Lane. This cat 🐈 likes to visit and show us his belly. We make sure he doesn’t get locked in! He actually leaves of his own accord when he gets bored.

I don’t know what to post this Mothers’ Day. Except for my gratitude at rediscovering the Great Mother. It is difficult when you grow up with patriarchal religion to embrace the concept of the feminine as divine, then of the masculine and the feminine together. Dualism seems to be inherent in the human mindset.

Children are a gift, and they never turn out the way you expect, or often how you might hope, and they shouldn’t be denied the experience of finding their path, in their own way. Unfortunately what many of us experience from mother is criticism, misunderstanding and sometimes ultimatums.

The Great Mother is not like this. She holds us through every challenge and lesson. She is true unconditional love. It can be difficult to receive that kind of love consistently as we go from being criticised (whether openly or by implication) to criticising ourselves.

If you are having a difficult time today, remember or send a thought to the maternal aspect of the Divine Heart. We all need her more than ever. Whilst the action of work for pay is masculine, the heart of abundance is feminine. Without her, as wealthy as we may be, we will not experience the overflow of abundant life.

I love you all. A big thank you to my guardian angels on Earth today, you know exactly who you are 🙏🏼🩷🌷

🌳World Tree (Yggdrasil)🌳

I am re-establishing my roots. It has taken some time for me to delicately remove myself from the soil in which I was raised. I was a root-bound bonsai, beautiful but languishing, limited. I was a concubine, bound feet and crippled, in service to agendas I was spoonfed from dawn til dusk.

Only in my dreams was I able to travel, out of body and mind, leaving the too-small behind. Reclaiming myself, stumbling, blind, but learning from the bright guides of those subtle spaces between life and death.

I am not a stranger to growing roots. I grew them to stay safe many lives ago. Perhaps I had to ease gradually back to freedom, lifetime by lifetime, parallels accumulating experience. It takes too long to learn if you live only one life at a time.

If I want to be a dancing willow or an oak, I need a deeper and more nourishing soil. I need water running over my feet and light pouring into my soul. I have found a new place to establish my growth and now I send roots down, gently at first, feeling out the ground. If one root does not serve, another establishes itself.

So now like the rebirth of the world tree, they come to hang from me for wisdom, and I hold their bones close to my heart until they too are ready to rise again.

🦅SURRENDER🦅

🌌If I fall in and relax will I float?
Let longings release so I see
The whole deep blue sky🌌

I think most of us do not have a clue what it is to surrender. We live in a world where we have to be armoured to survive. Rare are the moments when we feel safe enough to collapse into a pool of being. And try as we might to provide a sense of safety for others on one level or another, a person themselves must be receptive, to feel they can trust what is being offered.

What is required for safety? Zero agenda, or an agreed agenda. Patience and a sensitive pace so that any armouring can disperse without reversal. Time. Professional level space-holding. Invitation. Character and kindness.

The rest must be initiated within the one seeking to surrender their armour. I’m making a study of surrender and the ways that I find to let go into trust. Imagine the flow if I could trust spirit and completely let go

This Mercury Retrograde has been interesting. It’s true what they say that energy is neither created nor destroyed, it simply changes form.

People expect to hear from their exes during retrograde but that is a very basic way of reading the energy this time around. I always said when we lost that it felt like I had broken up with a boyfriend and the grieving process would be long. And indeed it has been long up to now and it is ongoing.

This MRX has, however brought contact from several channels related to this past passion so many of us shared. The energy has been updated, it has been processed, journeys have been taken and paths travelled. Everyone is making progress and we are all in transition one way or the other.

Friendships have been formed up, plans made and people cherished. The energy of that past love have flown like dandelion seeds to places across the globe and sown some of that rapport, friendship and good energy into different soils. This MRX has brought some of that back to me like the scent of flowers through meetings, reunions and conversations I was not expecting.

It’s hard isn’t it, moving on. But what I would say is once you have begun to move through grief into freedom, whilst the sadness remains, do not be tempted to allow your energy and magic to be siphoned into anyone else’s plans or pocket. Keep changing form. There’s more to you than meets the eye. You carry the energy of those who appreciate you everywhere you go. Real connections do not die. They transform and become something new.

You don’t need to be in the same room as someone to experience connection with them. Don’t attach to the idea of how things SHOULD be or need to be in the old framework. The world is changing and so are humans. Things will take on very different forms in the year to come.

I can’t explain it better than that. Not yet. But what has wandered is not lost. What has changed has not lost its value. It all comes back to centre. And if this is your life you are living, it will always come back to YOU in one form or another. Are you ready to embrace it, to integrate it?

Poignant words that moved me today by the beautiful soul that is ♥️

Following on from my last post. Don’t stop leaning into healing. ❤️‍🩹 we heal ourselves, we contribute to the healing of all. Our collective energy is powerful. We CAN effect change in practical and mystical ways.

So many of us come to meditation with the idea that it is a lofty attainment rather than a return to our natural state.

When we realise that surrender, not striving is the best strategy to find this state, many unnecessary hindrances start to fall away.

Discipline is seen as ‘hard’ and it exists in keeping consistency in our practice, both getting to the cushion and maintaining our attitude whilst on it. However, softness is called for in the practice far more. Letting go of the thought processes of the mind, recognising that love does not give rise to anxiety, letting the body de—armour. It is difficult but it is not hard.

We are hardened. The practice is soft. It is whether we can allow ourselves to drop in to it fully, and let it embrace us.

This may be a hard pill to swallow. But in many ways we owe our happiness to the collective. What does unhappiness cause? War and hate and pain and division. The cost of not being happy is too high. So dedicate yourself to bringing yourself to health and peace. Be your number 1 priority. Everything else can sit below that and the world will not end. Instead, when all of us take responsibility for our own well-being, balance arrives. This is not pressure but inspiration. How can I make myself more happy, today? If you meet resistance, get to know it. This is the first step.

‘You’re going to be happy,’ Life said, ‘but first I’ll make you strong.’ ~ Paulo Coehlo

📕JOURNAL📕

I’m sitting outside during my lunch break. It’s sunny and mild and although I decided to not get a coffee today I felt this experience, though indulgent is good for the soul. The coffee is bitter and citrusy and as the sun warms my right side a gentle breeze moves the stray hairs that have escaped my plait in the course of the morning.

My body aches in a whole new way as it does when you train a different way, and it’s exciting, I love being in the water and the lifting and running have made my thighs super strong. One type of training compliments another. And when I get a little bit injured as I am at the moment down my left side I can see that swimming will be a welcome alternative to everything else.

Lifting grounds and stabilised you. It makes you believe in yourself. Running brings you back to centre and works certain areas of the pelvic floor that lifting doesn’t seem to. It asks you how much you want this, and it helps you get your head together. Swimming brings flow and a kind of nurture. It reminds you there are other worlds, other layers to yourself, it can bring you to a state of sincere silence and stillness when all the movement and the breath stops.

Exercise, like nature, can be brutal, or gentle. Give your body what it needs, but don’t stop moving, unless you are floored of course! But then, meditation 😉 make time for movement and stillness, for effort and ease. Always sense and listen. There’s a reason we are not born into an arm chair.

Serving people and saving people are two different things. I think sometimes those who are inclined to serve and support others tend to fall into the trap of attempting to save them. I’ve definitely found myself in that pickle before more than once.

If you find yourself slipping into saving mode in a situation or relationship ask yourself “Am I allowing this person to take responsibility for themselves?” If you are not, you may end up drowning yourself.

Serve and support others, saving may well not be your responsibility or even possible. Keep checking in 👌🏼💚

I love working with Clive!! His goal is to touch his toes with his legs straight. We’ve been working together for a few weeks now, and inch by inch the progress is coming! Clive is very active but there are muscles that are not being used. We are working on activations that give space for other areas to open. A secondary goal is to lengthen his upper back which is a little kyphotic. Today we had to beautiful moments where he realised that this was happening even though we weren’t focused on it. In the second photo you can see he is nicely aligned in his pelvis and the upper back starts to strengthen and lengthen. This will eventually take the pressure of his middle back where he sometimes spasms.

It’s really kind of beautiful being able to combine my PT knowledge with the Yoga to explore realignment in the body!

Thanks Clive for agreeing to let me share these photos as our colour scheme is so on point too 🙌🏼💛🩵❤️

If you’d like a 1:1 with me, contact .uk for sessions on Tuesday and Thursday mornings 🙏🏼🤸🏽‍♂️🩵

Tattoo healing

It was a heart opening ceremony.

I had sat at tea with the mothers and worked, slurped and chanted though our healing. It was then as though a window of opportunity suddenly blew open and I was given an invitation to sit.

It would be different than we thought. This is the only way it will work. We have to do it in full, or not at all. You can’t go half-hearted with healing, you have to dive in full bloom, throw caution to the winds. The work of a daughter of Palestine now sits beside the work of a daughter of Israel. It happens under an eclipse in Libra in the height of these atrocities. We didn’t plan it this way, but this the heavens delivered.

The process is not pretty, but the results are beautiful. This is the second phase, there will be a time of completion.

I sit for the wounded feminine collective and the ways in which we have had to be at odds with a wounded masculine. We cannot rise while we hold another down. We must ascend together. I sear it into my skin, and feel a billion knocks against the gate of my heart. The prophet Ezekiel was told to lay on one side for months to embody a message. I sit for a few hours of pain to embody reformation, renaissance and renewal.

I entreat the pantheon of gods, don’t leave my sisters rocking, hands over ears, in the bombardment. Silence the guns. Heal your heart. Be the blooms reclaiming Chernobyl. Be your own blessing ❤️‍🩹🌸

MAKE LOVE NOT WAR

We find ourselves in a matrix of our own creation, the beliefs and neurological structures that hold us captive and limit our capacity to embrace and experience the infinite. Our feelings and making others understand them has become of primary importance. Therefore we are restricted by our emotions and the desire to be understood by another when it comes to love and abundance in their highest forms.

We could go back and forth eternally like Israel and Palestine, comparing hurts, words, actions, confusions, wrongs and rights. I show you my hurt and you show me how my being hurt, whether triggered by you or simply my perception of you, has hurt you even more. And so on. So we have to, I think, pause and reflect “I am upset. Whatever the triggers for this upset, can I see which parts of me are being held up to the light and establish why that is painful?” This is what relationships do. They show us what we have been ignoring, or neglecting or suppressing for too long. One is triggered and their reaction triggers the other and so on. This chain reaction is like synapses firing in the brain. We control the end destination by shorting the circuit, by not firing the ‘other’ neuron but instead taking a different path, asking questions of ourselves, unpacking areas of our brain that have never had the chance to fire.

Let us take a new journey. We see this futility in the world at war. We see it reflected in our personal conflicts. On some things we will never agree or understand the other fully, because that’s not our journey but theirs. What is the conflict itself showing us each personally? What vast fields of possibility are we keeping shut down and closed-off to the hikers of our awareness by making the conversation about who is right and who hurt who more. Without internal conflict there is no external conflict. Each of us is the war, in a capsule.
