Bhava Body w/ Krystal, Fremantle (2025)

My fingers are cold, burning from the morning air.

My feet are throbbing in longing beneath my fluffy socks to be freed from the weight of my kneeling posture, but right now it is the greatest surface area to body contact.

The swirling sounds of droning music travels through my ear phones, amongst the occasional heavy thud thud thud of runners getting their Saturday morning fix.

The golden light begins to cusp over the edge of the trees on the other side of the lake. And my mind begins to be busied by awe, as I start to feel myself drawn into the center of rā’s rays.

Today, there’s a swirling movement below the range of my gaze that allures me. There’s something emerging out of the darkness of the water body.

The moving being holds weight and buoyancy. It carries itself and is being moved. It feels to be a familiar march, that the sluggish tufts of movement almost seem like there’s a longing to stay, and a knowing they need to go.

I’m beckoned by the mystery that expands into itself. Smoking and spiralling into being, held in mid air. My eyes try to track where it starts and where it ends. With no such certainty. There’s a slippery gaseous boundary between this mist-erous mist and the temperatures of the air.
And I am hypnotised.

Like me, it too is reaching to touch the light. I notice I have begun to pour more weight into my front body, as if to say “take me with you”.

As it reaches the open warmth, it dissolves into union. Like it knew all along.

The dark and cold air that rests at the skin of the lake, sits. Aching.

I turn to face the back of my mat. With tender hands, I offer it my painful question. A few actually. Those ones that curl our collarbones inward, and frustrates our baffled mind as it tries to figure it all out.

I stand to my feet, palms open to the grass that today presents as the space before the question. With a wider acknowledgment of wonder… Where do these questions come from?

I turn to the front of my mat, who is also reaching in line with the raising sun. Shining so sure. So true.

Inspired by the mist, I let my music roll, circle and spiral my body.

Into being in the space between..

Kind of like when you choke on it going down the wrong pipe…

But more so that I had forgotten how to even hold it in my hands.
How to bring it to my face.
How to watch the steam swirl.
I had forgotten the essence of tea.

Perhaps it began at 15, forcing myself to like green tea for its benefits of boosting metabolism. Unwillingly drinking one every night despite it tasting like dirt to me at the time.

Perhaps it continued when food lost it’s pleasure and was just something to put in my body for health.

Maybe the lack of connection was supported by feeling like I didn’t have time for tea, that it took too long to brew on the stove.

I watch these ways of patterning drive a rush to finish my tea now, still.
To neck it back quickly.
Then move on.

And yesterday I realised how easy it is to forget.
To forget that pleasure can be enjoyed for simply the sake of pleasure.It doesn’t need an outcome, or a benefit.
Or to improve us in some way.

It can quite literally just be pleasure.
It can just be a warm cup against our palms, and soft sweet liquid soothing our insides.
It can just be … tea.

If you feel you’ve forgotten, you’re actually in this moment remembering.
A bitter sweet sensation perhaps.
Like the coming home to ourselves, to our bodies.
Again and again.

If tea, pleasure and your body are calling you home, I have an offering for you.

A platter laid out of a decadent meal to rest, that starts at the taste of awareness.

A journey to Rest and Digest, the being and becoming, the art and the science. You can inquire via messaging me. More details to flow soon x x x

I’ll just leave this here for your own interpretation 🙏🏼

What’s so interesting to me to realise is that we actually have a whole independent nervous system in our belly, that governs our feelings of safety, ease, comfort!!!!

That refuses us taking in any harm by creating feelings of wrongness, fear, unease. That physically rejects these harmful things by vomiting, or spitting something out, diarrhoea, turning our nose in disgust to something that doesn’t look or smell good.

It guides and directs us away from people, places, activities or options that feel unsafe or not good for us.

And it also supports our continual assimilation of nourishment by creating feelings of rightness and knowing to things that are good for us. Perhaps how we crave certain nourishing foods that taste good in our mouth, all the way through our belly and in our stools (not just the ones that taste good on our tongue).

We might have a yummy digestible experience that will then get saved and we will desire it again. Ie care for ourselves, others and the planet. Maybe certain activities, exercises, connections and time in nature. Guiding us towards connection and ease.

This then offers us the capacity to sense our feelings about our external world, from within our internal world. To know what is good for us.

If this is curious to you too, if you have a certain decision that you’re sitting in, wondering what is your path, I’ll be guiding through an online embodied exploration of this system within us and our capacity to know on Sunday 1pm AWST.

Come, gather, let’s know together x

And sometimes you just know.

You may not want to know. You may try to distract from the Knowing. Rationalize, interrogate or avoid. You may avoid time with yourself because you know that when you feel down into the depths of your seat of Self, you know.

Your Knowing can sometimes be scary. Have a lot of fear attached.

As your Knowing can sometimes be a call to action, a call to adventure, that is outside of your present lived reality. CHANGE. Oooooh. Shudder.

Because who knows what happens in the unknown.
When really deep down we always know.

And, often we are ferociously paddling upstream, saying “Noooo it was supposed to be like this”. When really, there’s this steady undercurrent, tugging at our feet. Alluring us down a different riverbend. A down-stream path. Where all we need to do is pick up our oars and turn the waka around, to be flooded with our support team, carrying us to our truth.

Our support team will gather when we are in a time of transformation. Both in the physical and non-physical. They might come in the form of new friendships, relationships, mentors, guides, ancestors, spirit guides, numerology, elements, sounds, symbols… For these are reflections of our own inner courage and curiosity, to gently encourage and validate what we already know to be true. That we need to do what we know we need to do.

I hear a part of me ask in you, “but how do you know?”.

I pause to taste the warmth of the wind on my face and breathe length into the back of my neck. “You create time and space to feel into the Knowing that is always there.”

In your body you know. In your body is a vast intelligence that awaits your conversation like the shore awaits the incoming tide.

…..

^ a wee snippet from my most recent blog. I then go on to explain my process for connecting with my Knowing.
At the end of the river bed, I extend a special surprise discount for 2 of my current offerings 💃🏼🌹🙏🏼 just cause 🤍

Rest at the boundary
Where 2 bodies sense
Pause to listen
Presence precedes permission
Feel her open to you
Beckoning your arrival
Enter with awareness
Sensitising to the taste of every meeting
Savouring the momentary suspense
As exhale yields connection

_ mahamaya you’re sexy

Beautiful words from a beautiful wahine I had the honour of journeying with over the space of 3 months 🤍

These, You Are The Medicine cocoons, intend on aligning and empowering you to remember your innate capacity to be well, to be You, to be vibrantly authentic in your Youness, to feel, to know, to be nourished from the tap of your own source which extends far greater than the fabrics of your skin … to be awareness, knowing itself as embodiment.

One of the reasons I chose to create my 1:1 cocoons to be for a period of 3 months was with the understanding that every 3 months, our endocrine system has the potential to completely renew! To behold the possibility of a new experience in your physical body and it’s expressions of dis-ease after a season devoted to self nurturance, rest and listening. To ease into conversation with what your body is trying to communicate to you.

Whether alongside me, or within your own navigation, could you offer yourself that time?

A common question has been popping up recently from fellow empath beings who ask about how I tend to absorbing peoples emotions/energies… thought I’d share what I said.

I take some personal responsibility. Instead of exhausting myself blaming the person and feeling frustrated for the person for what ‘they did to me’, I acknowledge that I am a porous being, who lives her life feeling very deeply, and with an affinity to do so, I love to feel deeply. So the emotion is now in my body, it’s my responsibility (my response able, ability to respond) to be with.

I could spend a long time trying to work out if it’s my own, if it’s this persons, if it’s the earths, if it’s the way the planets are aligning (lol), and, I could tend to it like I would any movement of energy in my body, with loving awareness. Nurturing its needs.

With more detailing, it could have been a flow current from their physical form into mine, yes, and, it could have been my own sovereign emotional response to their emotional expression which has a chain of events unravel-able (- really fun word to say out loud) too.

So my answer is to stop the blame and tend to it with love.

Some practices that I may implement if the sensations require…
- Somatic-tracing meditation
- Shaking
- Energy showers
- Qi Gong
- Splashing/wetting/bathing myself with water 💦
- Whole body squeeze and release
- Grounding in the earth

May this provide some further self inquiry for ya 🙏🏼
