Ethereal autumn light. Staying only briefly, continually changing.

There are soft change moments, the ones that move through us gracefully with fluidity and feel easy to achieve.

There are hard change moments, the ones we resist, get caught in, when all movement seems to halt and clarity leaves us.

Letting go to move forward. The lesson autumn gives us every year.

When change feels difficult remember we can choose the pace of our change. As in nature, somethings releasing their hold early, others later when the time is right.

A morning of sifted sunlight and running clouds in an oceanic sky.

And with this comes the audible, ujjayi breath of wind to nudge us to release and let go..

This wind feels like a gentle encouragement, coaxing, teasing out the things which we are holding on to too tightly.

Finding a light touch, how much to let go of, how much to hold on to, is the skill set of the Metal element, the element of Autumn. It’s the transition point from the outwardness of yang to inwardness of yin.

Nature does this seamlessly without blinking, thinking, fighting it. Change is natures oxygen, it’s the very nature of natures change that keeps us alive..

When the day glows to night…

Time to soften your grip on whatever today has done to you.

If you feel yourself gripping for fear of tumbling, stumbling or going under remember a vice like grip cannot be sustained for long, but the fatigue and depletion stays for far longer.

Hold lightly, softly so you can breathe and move through whatever is stealing your energy.

More skies to mesmerise…

Constable-esque views…

from my morning dog walk (just a few hours late in posting this).

Accompanying me on my walk was a cloak of irritation, suddenly stifled by a restlessness of what felt like relentless, monotonous morning activities.

Wishing I was somewhere else, doing something different.

Ironically if I had had my wish I’d have missed this.

Craving change, I went a different way to the norm. Not crazy radical but enough to shift the stuckness.

Change has been a big theme in the treatment room of late, with many interesting conversations (lovely patients, you know who you are). The main one being ‘what is your relationship to change’?

How do you deal, cope, support yourself during change?

Change phobic, change obsessed, or change ambivalent?

If you are feeling stuck, demotivated, lacking in enthusiasm, energy deficient, tired or antsy try a little change. Start small. Keep it subtle, gentle, kind and take a moment to reflect.

You might just like change more than you thought. If you don’t, change again. That’s the beauty of change.

A few words that say a lot...
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Thinking can get you in a tangle, and at times, a million miles away from where you need to be.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Left wandering and lost.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Is your thinking based on a truth.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Not all our thoughts are based on truth.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
No surprise that many negative thoughts are formed from an untruth.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Something that never happened. Something that was never real.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Maybe it’s time to winter cleanse your thoughts, pay attention to the ones that have no connection to the truth. Can you see, feel, notice the difference?
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Still trying to apply more truthful thinking to thoughts.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
This one might take a while.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Happy Friday to you.

Fire & ice…

Two extremes. Two opposites.

But connected by their difference’s.

Equally potent with potential.

A reflection that we need these polarities to reinvigorate our energy.

To give life to our life.

The challenges of differences make us reach deeper to support ourselves.

Like the much over used yin & yang symbol.

Each has a part in the other. ☯️

Morning sky 🤍

Night sky 🖤

Two opportunities to embrace two different energies.

Two opportunities to consider your breath.

To consider what has changed and what hasn’t. With kindness. No judgement.

To consider how your energy feels.

To reconnect.

Just twice a day.

Less than 5 minutes of your time.

Totally for you 🙏

Relight my fire…

Well that was worth breaking my Instagram silence.

The silence came and the time to lift the silence eluded me. So waiting took it’s place.

With so many words out there and on here it’s hard to go against the tide and choose silence as your language.

If you are choosing silence over words. I hear you loud and clear. 💬
