"The truth is, in order to heal we need to tell our stories and have them witnessed...The story itself becomes a vessel that holds us up, that sustains, that allows us to order our jumbled experiences into meaning.

As I told my stories of fear, awakening, struggle, and transformation and had them received, heard, and validated by other women, I found healing.

I also needed to hear other women's stories in order to see and embrace my own. Sometimes another woman's story becomes a mirror that shows me a self I haven't seen before. When I listen to her tell it, her experience quickens and clarifies my own. Her questions rouse mine. Her conflicts illumine my conflicts. Her resolutions call forth my hope. Her strengths summon my strengths. All of this can happen even when our stories and our lives are very different."
— Sue Monk Kidd (The Dance of the Dissident Daughter: A Woman's Journey from Christian Tradition to the Sacred Feminine)

Manage the fear & anxiety that often comes with a loss of control by controlling one of the few things you can, your thoughts.
You are in charge of what you allow yourself to think.
When in an overthinking rut it can be effective to ask 2 things: -
“Is what I am thinking helpful?”
“What can I think instead that is more helpful?”
Asking is a powerful way to direct our own subconscious mind.
By using curiosity we activate & inspire the creative parts of our consciousness to be more naturally resourceful.

I love this.
I also read there are some of the same planetary aspects in astrology now as there were back in the time of the plague.
Maybe there’s something in that 🤔

The point of healing is not to return to a place where everything is perfect. Instead, it is to begin to develop the ability to respond to what’s imperfect.

And you were never meant to

Honoured to be invited to co-host & facilitate tomorrow evenings circle for .

I will be sharing wisdom on a topic close to my heart & one that I work closely with clients on a regular basis...

Emotional Intelligence

Here is a little bit of what we will cover.

Our emotions are our guidance system!
They are our own internal GPS and when you can learn to identify and understand them you are able to recognise the message contained within each emotion as it arises.

What to expect at the circle:-

• Opportunity to unpack feelings and emotional triggers to help identify what your emotions are teaching you
• Learn to identify and understand emotions as they arise.
• Using meditation & self-awareness learn to respond in a more conscous / positive way to emotions, instead of reacting unconsciously.
• Begin strengthening intuition and self-connection.
• Be guided on a meditation to re-balance our emotions.
• Have the opportunity to learn from one another and ask questions in a safe and supportive space
• Simple techniques to take home and continue working with in your own time.

''A group of women can constellate a Mother morphic field when we gather together in a sacred circle. We create a 'temenos,' which means 'sanctuary' in Greek. In a women's circle, every woman in the circle is herself and an aspect of every other woman there as well. There is no vertical hierarchy in a circle, and when a circle is a temenos, it is a safe place to tell the truth of our own feelings, perceptions, and experiences.

For a women's circle to work as a spiritual and psychological cauldron for change and growth, we need to see every woman in the circle as a sister who mirrors back to us reflections of ourselves. This means that whatever happened to her could have happened to us, that whatever she has felt or done is a possibility for us, that she is someone toward whom we feel neither superior nor inferior nor indifferent. These are not just concepts but the emotional reality that comes from listening to women tell the truth about their lives. Additional depth comes from the psychological awareness that strong reactions to another woman may occur because she represents something in ourselves that is psychologically charged; our reactions are not just about her but about us. Perhaps we can't stand her because she expresses experiences we have repressed; maybe we find her difficult because we react to her like we did to our personal mother or some other significant figure; maybe we are drawn to her because she embodies a potential in ourselves and the positive qualities we so admire in her are growing in us; maybe we avoid her because we fear our own addictions, dependency, or neediness. In this way, we are symbolic figures for each other that we need to understand as we would symbols in a personal dream.'' -Jean Shinoda Bolen, Crossing to Avalon

Breathe that in.
I am finally watching HBO’s The Defiant One’s & just heard Jimmy Iovine say that this was what his father always told him.
Love it. Sharing it.

The art of thresholding Is something that may be better understood in the context of stage actors. It’s where the actor moves from being themselves (prepared & in costume) behind a curtain (veil) and as they step over that threshold or move through the curtain they become the character that they are playing in the set on the stage.
This is the essence of an NLP technique of the same name.
To make a decision to begin at a certain point, with what we have, to be enough, in this moment & to step over that threshold and step into working towards manifesting our dreams.
Start now with what you’ve got.
