Here is my latest article - How to Feel Again: From Numb to Feeling Alive.

I share my story and my experience to help inspire others to feeling more alive. I hope you enjoy

This is both a written article and audio article to give options for each.

For many months I lived with such shame that I couldn’t feel or connect with others as deeply as I once could. It felt like part of my humanity had been taken away. The painful existence of living with a fake smile, pretending to feel joy while others were laughing. I went on pretending because I ...

BEAUTY AND THE BEAST

Both the beauty and the beast exist within each and every one of us.

The gentless softness of beauty as she dances her magic into your life, into your creations, into the way you sip your coffee underneath the morning sun.

The waking of the beast as he swells up in your tender heart when you feel rejected or overcome with rage. Also the beast as your protector, your faithful guardian and ally when he roars to guard your sacred boundaries that should never be crossed.

It's a delicate dance between the beauty and the beast within.

Both should be equally revered for they serve and support us through life.

Will you open your heart to honour your beauty and your beast?

Will you allow space for both of them to reveal their truths?

Your beauty in all of her glory,

and your beast with all of his might.

Do not shy away from either,

they each bring with them scared wisdom,

the wisdom you carry within your heart.

Did you know? Tea is a Zen symbol which means awareness, because tea makes you more alert, more aware. Tea was invented by Buddhists, and for centuries they have used tea as a help in meditation. And tea is helpful.

The story is that Bodhidharma was meditating on a certain mountain in China called Ta. From that Ta comes the name "tea" or "Cha"; that's why in India tea is called "chai."

Bodhidharma was meditating, he was a really great meditator, He liked to meditate for eighteen hours, but it was difficult. He would feel sleepy again and again, and his eyelids would drop, again and again. So he cut off his eyelids and threw them away! Now there was no possibility of closing his eyes.

The story is beautiful - those eyelids became the first seed of tea, and a certain plant came out of them. Bodhidharma prepared the first tea in the world out of the plants, and he was amazed to find that if you took the leaves and drank them you could remain alert for longer periods. So, for centuries Zen people have been drinking tea, and tea has become a very, very sacred thing.

It's never too late to start something, to begin weaving your dreams into reality. It's never too late to follow the impulses of your heart guiding you to take a leap and follow your passions.

I was carrying a story for a few years that it was too late for me to rekindle my blog Story Bones. I had a story that I missed out on opportunities and kept daydreaming about where I'd be now if only, I'd kept my blog going.

The daydreaming turned to guilt and shame that I should be anywhere else than where I was. I would beat myself up for "quitting."

But the truth is, I never quit. I just didn't realise how valuable my writing was at the time. I took my gifts and talents for granted and didn't cherish what I was here to offer the world.

But they never left me, I always kept them wrapped up in my heart just waiting to be rebirthed.

Story Bones never left me, because it always has and always will be me. It lives within my heart. Just like your gifts and talents will never leave you.

They may be dormant at a particular time, but they are always there.

I am so excited to be relaunching Story Bones and creating an online sanctuary where people come to heal and feel nurtured.

I'm excited to share what's to come in the next few months and hope you will join me on this journey.

And remember, it's never too late. What magic are you ready to uncover from within?

Stop dreaming and start today, you won't regret it!

Do you feel all of the BIG energies that are around at the moment? Are they intense and overpowering? There are a lot of BIG energies going on in the collective at the moment. The most important part is that we have an inner anchor at this time. Something to hold onto which allows us to be in the material world. These waves can so easily wash us away because it's BIG energy and if we are not careful, we can get caught in the waves and washed away.
Take a moment, take regular pauses, breath in, breath out and let go.

SACRED AWAKENING

Who are we? Why am I here? What is my purpose?

These are all common question we ask ourselves, particularly those who have chosen to come here at this time to birth sacred wisdom for the collective remembering of humanity.

For those of us who have chosen to walk the ways of the sacred longing for truth, often are walking along a tightrope between the light and the shadows.

I speak of this, because it has been my journey.
My life has been a dichotomy of wandering the fine line between the shadows of the underworld and the holy light of Christ consciousness.

My journey has been one of remembering, and I can tell you it's been far from an easy road.

Externally my life is very blessed. I have a beautiful supportive family and many loyal friends. But it was the internal battles that my suffering stemmed from. The demons that lie within.

For much of my life, I attempted to be one sided, always grasping for the light. I used to believe that being a 'light worker' meant always holding the light. But over the past nine months I have been through an immense awakening.

difference this time was I spent these nine months in the underworld.

It was truly terrifying for the most part and I began to believe that perhaps I was journeying as Persephone. That I had eaten the forbidden fruit, and I would be banished to the 'hell' realms for eternity.

I felt like there was no escape, and that I would continue to spiral down into the depths of hell.

This happened, over nine months I spiraled into the darkest places. I stumbled into the lowest frequencies, and I became face to face with the devil time and time again.

I can honestly say I have danced with the devil, and it wasn't pretty. There were days when I couldn't locate even a speck of light. The darkness was all consuming, the days were long, and I even questioned if I was already dead.

But about three weeks ago, a speck of light, a little seed was planted in my heart from a divine source.

This seed helped me remember the power of hope. It planted a gentle remembering that I was not the darkness, that I was the light walking through the darkness and there was a way out.

This seed became an anchor within my heart. And with that anchor I began to draw myself heart maps, I began to channel sacred pathways for myself out of the darkness.

What I can say about this practice is that it truly was divine intervention. The guidance came from the highest source of love that I have ever experienced, I felt so held. Over this three-week period, I began to build my strength and resilience to wander out of the darkness and restore balance within and without.

This experience has been a true awakening for me, and I literally feel like I have been reborn into a strong, confident and empowered woman. I can truly say I have walked with the devil and I have come out the other side knowing and loving myself very deeply.

I share this story because what I experienced was truly terrifying, to the point that I ended up in a mental health ward diagnosed as depressive psychotic.

I lost all feeling in my body for two months, from extreme disassociation. I became num and was literally diagnosed as 'crazy'.

I felt extremely isolated because literally no one could understand my experience. But what I lived was very real and it was a very deep spiritual awakening.

Like I said, at the time I thought it would never end. But upon coming out the other side, I truly believe everything that happened was divinely perfect and that this entire experience was purposeful.

Because of my story, my experience, I believe this is the work I will be sharing in the world to empower others with my sacred maps and pathways journey's back to the heart.

My path is now clear, my purpose is clear, and I look forward to sharing more after I take time out for my recovery journey.

Until then, please feel to reach out to me if you want to talk or share your experiences, or just need a friend who understands.

We are all on our sacred journey's and sometimes we all need a helping hand or a spark of light to get us through to the other side.

HUMS AND ROARS: 🦁

She whispers softly...
Why did you leave me behind? Can you still hear me dear one?

Through the wind in the trees, the gentle breeze. She tunes in and remembers where she is. Where she had left off.

She has been spiralling around for so long she forgot that she left herself behind.

She gathered her belongings - her axe, shield and drum as she wandered chanting and humming the song of her sweet essence.

She gathered her courage one step at a time, wandering with heart along the meandering path.

As she sings the birds flew in around her, the forest beings gathered, the land began to flourish and thrive.

Her heart began to beat louder, louder, louder. ❤️

She walked the wayward path back towards Embodiment.

Reclaiming her body, relaming her mind, reclaiming her gifts and her sovereignty.
For deep inside she was always wise, she was always brave, somehow she had just forgotten it along the way.

So hum dear ones and allow the hums to become roars.
Allow the roars to make ripples across the earth, lighting the golden path, the one which walks us back to ourself.

The one where dreams and magic is born, the one that is always alive within our hearts. Which joins us back in gentle grace to the essence of our humaness, the twine which links us as humans, as beings of the divine.

Let's hold ourselves and one another throughout these gentling times. ❤️

HIVE HOME: 🐝 🍯

The hive holds many blessings, it is the place where the honey is weaved into gold.

It is the place that is warm - womb like. It feels like the gentle arms of your lover wrapped around you, like a warm cuppa, a soft kiss & a dance with the divine.

The hive is home. But not the home that exists out there. It is the gentle home within, the heart home.

The one that is always stable, always solid, always consistent. It provides the warmth & tenderness you so deeply crave.

Surrender - for the bees are ever sogently crafting your heart hive. The fragements of your inner realms being weaved together with the sweetness of honey.

Nurture your hive home, carry it with you everywhere you go.

Open your hive home to others - show them your warmth, your tenderness & beauty. Don't be afraid, for this is your true essence.

Your hive home holds within it all of the gifts & treasures you are here to offer to the world.

It's wisdom Whispers "just bee!" For that is all there is to do dear ones.

THE SPIRAL JETTY:

This archaic symbol also had ancient associations with the labyrinth. The Spiral Jetty, located in the Great Salt Lake in Utah, was a quarter of a mile long and formed out of bulldozed rock. Like many ancient shrines, it was inaccessible and required a pilgrimage to view directly.

I love to write feature articles and guest posts. One of my favourite published articles, written with heart and soul for beautiful Sylvia's website - Arawme. 🌺

My writing is not just about words but the feeling, the emotion and connection.
