The Scent of Life

6/4/2020

I LOVE flowers and trees and their scents.

In fact I am obsessed with *nearly* all of natures smells.

I feel the most connected, at home and at peace when I’m surrounded by the incredible smell of roses or the smell of the humus in the forest when the earth is fresh from the rain.

Motherhood changed me...

18/2/2020

There have been many times in my life that I have felt like I’ve been broken down to my core and then very slowly remade myself.

Have you?

In 2001 I remember watching 9/11 on the tv. I was at Uni and I was alone in my living room watching the news and I had absolutely no idea how to process what I was witnessing.

For the following 6 months I had what felt like one long panic attack.

Dear Mama...

Dear Mama,

I’ve heard you say so many times “ I don’t have time”.

I know what it feels like to have more activities, chores and work to do in one day that you can fit into one week.

Oh the overwhelm! The tiredness and that deep feeling of not being good enough!

I get it.

2020: This is called EMPOWERMENT

8/1/2020

Have you been feeling the intense energies of 2020 so far?

During these moments it's so very easy to think that the reason for the discomfort is someone else's fault.

I know that when I'm not fully paying attention to my thought patterns, I found I quite easily come into blame mode and don't stop to think about the impact of this behaviour.

2020 - the year of freedom

13/12/2019

✨The year ahead ✨

2020 for many of us is set to become the year we’ve all been longing for: the final release from karmic templates, slavery and victimiser programs and the birth into true freedom.
These are exciting times!

For many of us this will mean finally letting go of anything that no longer serves us. Letting go of anything out of balance and putting in place, very naturally, new and self-loving templates.

8 QUICK natural energy boosters

28/11/2019

I struggle during this time of year. I already start to miss the sunshine, the vitamin D, the plasma light, the nourishment in my body and soul.
⭐️
I start to feel depleted of energy, lethargic and occasionally my mood feels flatter too.

It’s a tricky time of year with the festivities around us as well, bringing with them mince pies, treats and snacks that perhaps we manage to successfully avoid throughout the year.

Where do you get your protein?

WHERE DO YOU GET YOUR PROTEIN?

This is possibly the biggest question I get asked when I meet people or when I start working with clients.
Every single person has this deep fear of not getting enough protein - specifically from meat.

Proteins are in every cell in the body and are the building block of life and they come from amino acids. So though the more important answer is: where do we get our essential amino acids from?

Don't Play Small!

1/8/2019

I love this passage in Brené Browns’ book, Rising Strong:

“There’s a pivotal scene in The Empire Strikes Back when Yoda is training Luke to be a Jedi Warrior, teaching him how to honourably use the Force and how the dark side of the Force - anger, fear, and aggression - can consume him if he doesn’t learn how to find calm and inner peace.

In this scene, Luke and Yoda are standing in the dark swap where they’ve been training when a strange look comes over Luke. He points towards a dark cave at the base of a giant tree and, looking at Yoda, he says, “There’s something not right here…I feel cold. Death”.”

“Yoda explains to Luke that the cave is dangerous and strong with the dark side of the Force. Luke looks confused and afraid, but Yoda’s response is simply, “In you must go”.”
At the end of the story, Luke goes into the cave only to have a fierce battle with Darth Vader, only to find that once he’s cut his head off that actually it’s Luke’s own head starting at him from the ground.

It can feel dangerous to confront ourselves with the truth but if we have to own our stories and our feelings if we’re to grow and move on.

One of the things I've been rumbling with for the last couple of weeks is this intense feeling of self-doubt that comes up often for me to work on. So when it does this is what I do first:

One of my favourite questions for uncovering the truth in any situation:
The story I’m Telling Myself Is:_____________________________

We're always telling ourselves stories, for example mine is around second guessing everything I do because of being a recovering perfectionist as well as having lived with low self-esteem for most of my life.

BUT no more!

These are the most perfect times to rumble with our stories, see what's behind them and break FREE!!

So what story are you telling yourself today?

The Surprising Secret to Loving Your Body

12/3/2019

For so many years I have focussed ALL of my attention on the areas of my body that I hate, that repulse me and which have been identified by others as not being ‘beautiful’.
.
I’ve written before about how my boobs have always been an obsession for me, and not being able to accept and love my body just as it is.
