I am grateful for the lifetimes within this lifetime
The cycles, stages & chapters
For the deaths & rebirths
The endings
The ushering in of the new
The gifts that have come in many forms
The awareness of what has unfolded
The wisdom that has and continues to reveal itself
The meeting of hearts & minds
The answers to questions that I didn’t believe I would receive in this life
To see & feel with my own eyes and heart, the shifts that can occur
Even when it was once unimaginable
The ability to observe and play a part in the unfolding
To play a role in the healing of my ancestral lineage
The opportunity of offering the gift of healing, again & again
To know of the insurmountable growth that has occurred
Even if it’s only through my own knowing
I am grateful
To arrive at a place where there is a space being held for me so that I can do that for another
To celebrate, reflect, grieve, release
To feel and see the support around me
To know that I am not alone in this process, this devotion
To feel the weight which I once held all on my own, being carried away, transmuted and knowing that the source of this is the divine, partnering me, facilitating this
To witness the sisterhood
Through generations, cultures, complexities
To hold the hand of another and guide them in releasing that shame and the ripple effect that has
To experience this so tangibly
I am in awe
Of what can occur
What we are capable of
When the intention is heart & soul led
To smile knowing, that even after all of this, it is just the beginning.

It’s in hindsight that we retrieve the gifts of realisation about ourselves, what we are truly capable of, our beliefs and our faith as well as the truth of how it is to be. It can either get us down or it can be received with the greatest respect for ourselves, what we’ve endured to get here, what was unknown until now and what we learnt in the process that we wouldn’t otherwise if everything was just handed to us.

I can feel the awareness rising of conditioning that we have endured through those around us, through the world as we know it and the awareness that this is not how it needs to be. Before it was just how it is, now the distinction between how it is and how you know it could be is becoming so much more clearer and the access to it is open, when before it was closed off.

At this point in time it’s not so much about doing but rather about letting it sink in, letting it land. We are ushering through huge amounts of conscious knowledge, this requires time and space and integration. It requires presence and intention. If you feel the pull to busy yourself or the go from one thing to the next out of habit, check in how does this actually feel? Compared with how you desire to feel. Our systems are on autopilot unless we change our state and interrupt that pattern.

We also have a chance to say how we are willing to have this next year play out. Not by control or avoidance but by using this time of reflection to embody what we have learnt, to give permission to the parts of ourselves that we know we need to call on. Not the parts of ourselves that we have exhausted this year, but the parts that have been waiting in the wings, the ones that have only been partially acknowledged, the ones that haven’t probably played a role so far in this lifetime. Only in doing this do we discover more, to rise up to what is yet to unfold.

Sending prayers of nourishment, peace, joy and the gentlest of transitions.

I am moved to tears by the healers and activators hiding in plain sight. The everyday people in our lives, just being ourselves, each playing our own roles, bringing out what is required, walking each other through this and watching it play out in such an awe inspiring manner. The movers and shakers of the world, the dear ones who have been planting seeds and holding their intentions consistently who are seeing the results of their devotion come into alignment as miracles in the physical.

As well as the deep, dark and brutal coming up to clear so much more than meets the eye. Keep looking and feeling beyond it, greater than it and wiser than it, without avoiding it.

There is so much beauty and potential to be found here. Stay with the moments and experiences that feel fleeting or too good to be true and expand on them.

Be open to the lessons, the higher purpose of your experiences, good, bad or mundane. Allow yourself to see it newly and as you would like to. As we step through this and with this, we master it and transform it and see it for what it truly is.

There will be times when your experience of being alive and your receptiveness to all that you experience will be heightened. The things that may have happened to you before or similar, happen but this time there is a difference.

There is an acute awareness of the visions, memories or thoughts that are other worldly, that you’ve always had since you were a child but this time you are able to consciously bring them in to this time and place with more willingness to consciously acknowledge and embrace their presence and worth. That it’s not just your mind playing tricks or insignificant, it has a valid part to play in processing and piecing together all that has felt disconnected.

The miracles are occurring in ingenious ways, on the backend of important lessons and wake up calls. The illusion of extremes showing us the truth. This doesn’t have to be hard, this can be embraced and there will be a balance to this, keep reaching out to the knowing that you have and trusting that it’s enough, you have what you need for now and there is more to come.

The sense that there is always more than meets the eye, more players backstage than we see right here. That sense that no matter how heavy or difficult things appear there is a lightness that is circulating, there is a greater purpose and connection in all that is and that is what you are tapping into.

Stay in the magic,
If you can’t do that, stay in your heart
Stay grounded in your light and the light that surrounds you,
You are safe to explore and exist from beyond where you have remained previously ✨

Allow me to guide you to release all that is heavy until you feel and know for your self what remains. What is truly at the heart of it, what is worth your precious time and energy.

That you were always the gift, distracting yourself from this truth.

That the path is always clear, we need to disengage with our own obstacles.

Allow me to presence you to the magic of your energy body, waiting patiently to be tapped into and felt. Together, we wake this connection, gently sensing, building this awareness. Allowing lessons and information to land in a way that is seamless and provides comfort and relief to the nervous system and heart. To feel that alignment and synergy of head, heart, body and soul brings sense of peace that will sustain you and will only build from there.

Where and how have you been avoiding your heart? Has it felt safer and more contained to do it this way? While this is so understandable given the vastness and depth of your heart and all it has to say, it can be blindsiding. It can feel like an enormous task to delve in a feel and acknowledge everything that is coming up to be not only felt but understood. It’s the fear of what is underneath, what will need to change, the hows and what ifs that can be all consuming.

We are human after all and being in our heads is second nature to so many of us. There is in a sense of safety in it, even if it doesn’t bring us the relief we so desire, it’s familiar.

With every expression we contain, every feeling thats pushed aside, no matter how hard we try to control or dissociate, that feeling of safety is not worth the joy that slowly leaves us, the spark and connection to self. For we’ve forgotten, our power resides in our ability to tune in and work with this endless flow within us. Like a tap, we can turn it on slow, let it trickle and filter and fill us up so, so gently that we remember our connection, our light and the fear subsides.

It took some time to feel into what was being communicated by this beautiful being. She clearly presented herself and I initially placed her back in the garden after showing the children and enjoying a rare sighting. A couple of hours later she re appeared right in front of me.

I sat with her and she turned her head and gazed at me intently for some time ie. more than 20 mins.

To recieve the nod of approval from such a unique creature as a praying mantis is quite the gift.

When we feel unseen or unnoticed not in a resentful way, but in a way of, knowing that some things will never be fully seen or noticed. It is such a heart rush, a heart fill when an eye to eye, heart to heart acknowledgment arrives in the most divine way.

I just sat, taking in her acknowledgment, her spectacular wisdom and presence. So much gratitude.

Simplify, simplify, take what comes your way and with the devotion to patience, presence and peace, you will master it one way or the other. It will bloom or transform in front of your eyes, or it will disappear from your focus. Either way you will be the master.

Slow down to stillness, to presence, this is where the magic is. From this place you can chuckle about the unimportant that we make all too important.

From this place there is a knowing, of a clear path forward. Even if it’s not fully conscious.

Find the moments, they will not always find themselves and when they do, take them and revisit as required.

Elegance, sophistication, the power of less is more, this creature exudes these traits.

Her other - worldliness, her mystic and wisdom that has been generated is unfathomable. An all seeing, all knowing creature, showing us that we too, have the ability to tap into these realms and this level of awareness and intuition, even just momentarily, you are safe to believe it when you see it, know it etc.

What a blessing and may you share in her wonder 💖

May your energy return to places it’s been missing lately.

May you find ways to interpret your energy and where to step forward and where to step back.

Not for where you were but for where you are.

May you come to accept not where you want to be but where you genuinely are.

May you feel, know, see and trust, against all odds, what it’s going to take, to allow this to take place.

When you feel density, know you’ve got what it takes to meet it, work with it and transmute it.

When you feel the lightening, the sweet relief, know you have served your energy well.

You are the alchemist, the energy worker of your own soul and resonance.

It’s an inner job, the only job we must always stay loyal to.

For every unpleasant experience, may there be many more pleasant, life giving ones that fill you up in all the right ways. If this is not the case, may you open yourself to opportunities, interactions and experiences that allow for this.

Some seeds we plant can lay dormant for a long time before you finally see the result.

Don’t lose hope.

~ Conversations with the sky ~

Sky energy is a culmination of the energy of the earth and the field around it, the weather patterns and components, the inhabitants of the sky and the energy he holds in his own right and in my experience is very protective and providing.

Sometimes it has to come apart first to finally come together. When you are in the midst of this know that your higher self is in the procuring stage. How is all of this going to land and fit in? What elements are yet to be retrieved to bring this process to fruition, and how will this play out. Step by step, this process is divinely crafted, you will not be disappointed by the simplicity and ease of this.

Respect the time something takes to brew or cook, as you would in the kitchen.

Change has its purpose, it’s timing, even if it’s not obvious, you can rest assured it is practical, intelligent and geared for your survival.

Survival is not always the bare minimum, it is the surviving of the negative spiralling of the mind. It’s surviving what you didn’t think you could and gaining the benefits of this, never to be the same again. It’s the surviving the conditions, the challenges, the changes experienced just living life and stepping up to those challenges even if it feels like you are doing mediocre, you are surviving it. You have the intellect, the power and abilities to survive the many obstacles and changes that lay ahead. You too will change tact in a way that may seem odd now but will make plenty of sense when the time comes. Because you are that wise and nimble and have more within you than you seem to understand.

Care for yourself like the survivor you are. Feel the pride and the joy of living a life well accomplished.

The warm loving embrace of father sky is ever present, ever nurturing, ever wise as you are.
