In 'Archaeology for the Woman's Soul', Jeff Foster pens a wonderful reflection which may bring some of you solace on this Mother's Day.

"THE INNER MOTHER
if abandonment is the core wound
the disconnection from mother
the loss of wholeness
then the most potent medicine
is this ancient commitment
to never abandon
yourself
to discover wholeness in the whole-mess
to be a loving mother
to your insides
to hold the broken bits
in warm open awareness
and to illuminate the sore places
with the light
of motherly
love."

This day is for the feminine, caring, intuitive aspect of us, regardless if we've birthed or not. It can rub some deeper wounds that feel like they need a nurturing balm to take the sting out, to soothe tears, to surrender to what is.

One of my new friends is heading to Africa to support women & their families. The Freedom Project International Tanzania would appreciate your support, with a donation of merely $15 assisting women's health through the purchase of sustainable menstrual kits.

May all women feel valued, and treated like the Queens they are today, and every day.

Sending support with prayers, virtual hugs & deep breaths to everyone awaiting the arrival of this cyclone wherever & whenever it decides to cross the coast... many from northern Australia understand your sense of vulnerability.

Having nature show its strength is very triggering. Take steps to relax your nervous system as much as possible - this will allow your brain to function better and your digestion to assimilate. Restorative yoga, pranayama, meditation, EFT (tapping), essential oils… you know what I mean! (Check out the freebies link on the website for some support or inspiration)

Thought you'd like a different perspective on what you are being constantly exposed to on all of the media outlets...

"Indigenous cyclone knowledge shared in Arnhem Land... In Wata Burrmalala — Cyclone Culture, residents from Ramingining and Milingimbi communities talk about how their ancestors' ancient knowledge contrasts with modern weather tracking...

As a boy, during the "mission days", Mr Gurruwiwi asked his grandmothers how they predicted cyclones.
"No radar, no satellite, no tracking," he said.
"They just feel the land itself and they straight away know.
"They see birds flying (inland to seek shelter) because birds know that something heavy is coming, they know, and sometimes they see the water, just breathing, the swell just rising without breaking."

A local said that on one occasion, they noticed that when they went down to the local jetty fishing, the seawater and the caught fish were unusually warm, and the colour of the water was a deep green. It is a fact that warm sea water temperatures are an integral element in the initial formation of a tropical cyclone, so once again, by reading nature’s signs, people know there is going to be some change in the weather.

Cyclones cleanse the land and bring community together. “For various reasons, some locals stayed with relatives to sit out the storm... In the clean-up process afterwards, people helped each other clearing yards."

Yolngu clan members regard Burrmalala as a troublesome family member. In the ceremony for the cyclone, the white cockatoo or "Lorrpu" senses the danger approaching.

"Cyclone is my waku. It's like I'm his mother, he comes from my belly," Mr Gurruwiwi said. "It's my child, that cyclone, Burrmalala."

The full moon last week kicked my butt! (see more info in the latest email newsletter...)

For now:
Let the full moon’s luminosity pe*****te into your being to deconstruct which shadows are ready to be acknowledged and released by feeling them and moving them.
Bathe yourself in the light to release distortions, reveal truth and honour unconditional love.

“Find me where the mountains meet the sky.”
My first 14er thanks to a cogg train! The air has 43% less oxygen than at sea level so I'm grateful for pranayama practices 🙏
