Welcome August

So here we are, over halfway through this year.
A great moment in time to peep behind and see how far you have come.
Are you who you so very much wanted to be, as the bells welcomed in 2024?
Did you stick to those promises you made yourself?
Or did life take over, as life will, and remind you that you are not here to become a version of perfection, you are here to simply grow, as you flow.
A flow which is never yours to truly control.
And in fact, the version of yourself you are now is more than you could have hoped for, if you look with clear vision.
Because you are so very human, my friend.
You are consistently connected, sharing yourself with this world and radiating light as you go about your journey.
You are continuously brave.
You show up again and again, you rise again, you shine again - and again.

Welcome in this month of August with open arms, and lay fear, regret and judgement, at the back door of July.
You don’t need those heavy burdens going forward. You didn’t need them in January either.
Set them down.
You need space, to let in the good stuff.

7 months in, 5 months left.
Go forward with only what you need.
There is much joy ahead, you cannot yet imagine.

What a thing.”

In times when you do not feel like your old self
I think it is because you are not

you are metamorphosising
on the move again
shifting

a new version of you is coming
to accept the baton from the old

you are changing guard
but unlike the ceremonial soldiers
this doesn’t happen swiftly

it’s more like a butterfly emerging from a cocoon
having dissolved to a pile of goo and sticky residue
ready to reform, ready to break through the shell
you built yourself, without even realising

you feel your wings tapping at the surface
itching to unfurl but not yet sure of their strength

but something in your soul is reminding you
that the only way to know
if these wings are ready to hold your weight
is to go to the edge and fly

put faith in your process, in nature’s process

a time of change is coming for you
and so whilst you make the final tweaks
to this next version

take a moment to look at the old ones
talk to them, forgive them, apologise to them
put them at peace
remind them
they were exactly the yous they were supposed to be then
so you could be the you you are today
and the you you will be tomorrow

remind them we will see many more versions of us
before the final one gathers you all
in her wise and loving arms

and takes you home

A beautiful day for a sound bath! I am always grateful when I have the opportunity to guide yoga classes, and today a sound bath, 🎶

Sometimes in life,
What you lose
Is what you gain.

You lose the doubt
So you can find belief.

You shed tears
So you can find hope.

You release fear
So you can find courage.

You let go of the pain
So you can find healing.

You break free from the chains
So you can find liberation.

You cast away darkness
So you can find light.

You relinquish the ego
So you can find humility.

You let go of pride
So you can find authenticity.

You lose the old version of yourself
So you can find renewal.

You leave the past behind
So you can step into the future.

You drown out the noise
So you can find your inner voice.

You unravel complexity
So you can find simplicity.

You lose the judgment
So you can find empathy.

And you lose self-criticism
So you can find self-compassion.

“It’s dark because you are trying too hard. Lightly child, lightly. Learn to do everything lightly. Yes, feel lightly even though you’re feeling deeply. Just lightly let things happen and lightly cope with them. I was so preposterously serious in those days… Lightly, lightly – it’s the best advice ever given me…So throw away your baggage and go forward. There are quicksands all about you, sucking at your feet, trying to suck you down into fear and self-pity and despair. That’s why you must walk so lightly. Lightly my darling…”

What if one day
you come to the realization
that you never again have
to explain yourself away
to anyone anymore,
or that you no longer
must carry the burden
of another’s false
perception of you
or your own perceived inadequacies
and you could relax, finally,
in knowing you’re incredible
in the light you are
standing in at this moment.

And what if you go on
to not care
about the judgments someone else
might have, that your life
is not full or amazing enough
or that you no longer feel
the need to endlessly
apologize for being human?

That day
has been graciously
waiting for you
to begin swimming
in its warm waters
of love and
acceptance ..

“If we could look into each other’s hearts and understand the unique challenges each of us faces, I think we would treat each other much more gently, with more love, patience, tolerance, and care.”
~ Marvin J. Ashton

✨💖😊💖✨

So many feel lethargic, unmotivated, or worn out in this hemisphere.
We are really not made to rocket straight through Winter, ablaze with energy.
Look at nature.
The ground, the plants, the animals are deep at rest.
This is the natural way of things.
Spend some time with the long nights, the moon, solitude, the bare earth, stillness.
Be easier on yourself..

(✍️ Victoria Erickson)

As time goes by,
You will loosen your grip on that rock,
The one you always thought was home,
And you will realise that home is not a place,
It’s a state of mind.
Let it go.

As times goes by,
You will learn to see yourself more clearly,
The girl who was always too much of one thing,
And too little of another, was actually
Everything she needed to be.
Let her out.

As time goes by,
You will let the simple things become the big,
And you will allow the big things to become the simple,
And that readjustment will be,
The day you really start to live,
Let it be.

As time goes by,
You will be forced to say goodbye many times,
And your soft little heart will shatter but,
It will still beat and that will bring you,
All the purpose you need.
Let it beat.

As time goes by,
You will stop choosing wealth over peace,
You will stop choosing money over time,
And you will see that the treasures you need,
Are in the smiles and the laughter.
Let them in.

As times goes by,
The moments you remember when your life flashes past,
Are never the awful memories my friend, it’s the joy,
The summer nights, the lazy days with loved ones,
The midnight chats and the morning hugs,
Let them happen.

Let them all happen.

Love is like sunshine.
It brings a golden glow to its beholder’s face.
And a warm feeling all over their body.
It awakens souls and opens eyes.
And when it’s over, it leaves billions of small memories called stars.
To remind the world that it still exists.

✨💙✨🧡✨

Have you ever met someone who pauses after they hear something, taking an extra moment before responding?

I love that. 💙

I think of that little pause as the "art of calm.”

There is a small window of choice between taking in information, and responding to it.

It’s a space where we listen to the heart - and it knows.

By taking a little more time before responding to people in person or on social media, we give the heart and mind more space to avoid reaction - and to organize a useful action - keeping us in alignment with the source of all peace.

Peace and calm don’t just happen.

We practice them.

And when we practice peace and calm, we BECOME more peaceful and calm.

And that’s some mighty good medicine for all of us right now. 💙

Hope you are okay today. I’m sending you peaceful love. xo Mary 💙
