When your system feels “on” all day, this practice can help you shift from the inside out.

This sequence invites you to trace the vagus nerve from the base of your skull, through your throat and jaw, into your belly—using breath, awareness, and longer-held shapes to support a gentle internal shift.

Save this as a reset you can return to.

To go deeper, practice ‘Yin for the Vagus Nerve’ with Kali Basman on Yoga International. Her guidance is spacious, perceptive, and quietly transformative—helping you step out of mental noise and into a more grounded, embodied awareness.

Are you sensitive? It's a definite yes over here!

Are you sensitive? It's a definite yes over here!

Being sensitive to your environment can sometimes feel like a burden. Feeling everything so deeply, whether you identify as an empath, intuitive, psychic, medium, or clairvoyant can be overwhelming. But your sensitivity isn’t a weakness at all. It’s your superpower.

The ability to feel, sense, and notice what others might miss is a rare and beautiful gift. You pick up on energy, emotions, and subtle shifts in ways that allow for deeper connection, understanding, and insight. You see things others can't.

Yes, it can feel like both a blessing and a curse at times, but that doesn’t make it any less of a gift. Your sensitivity is not something to hide. It’s something to honor.

Wishing everyone a wonderful Easter Weekend!

Happy Full Moon!

Happy Full Moon!

Tonight is the Full Pink Moon. The Moon won't actually be the colour pink, the name comes from the herb, moss pink or wild ground phlox and pink blossom which are bright pink in colour, they are one of the earliest widespread flowers of the Spring. Other names for the April Moon are Seed, Wind, Sprouting Grass, Egg and Fish Moon.

This Full Moon is in the sign of Libra. You can't hide anything from a Libra, they are natural detectives. This is the time when everything will be brought to light, secrets and lies will be found out. We will see things as they really are. Libra is an air element, which is all about communication and the intellect, seeing the truth and asking questions, we will feel emotional around this time as our minds will clear allowing us to see what we could not see before.

In April the thunderstorms of March are beginning to subside and the wind picks up. Seeds are being blown about on the breezes spreading life all around from one place to the next. This is a brilliant time to start any new projects or ideas we may have, our minds will be filled with creativity and the spreading of thoughts and ideas. Plant seeds of ideas to grow in the future. This is also the perfect time to conceive as fertility is abundant at this time.

The pull of the past can be strong on this Full Moon. People we haven't seen for a while may contact us, we may find ourselves thinking of our past and the people from long ago. We may find our best intentions going up in smoke as we embrace old habits and fall back into old destructive patterns. Try and be strong and not take the easy option, instead take the road which will give you the best results. Stay away from bad habits or patterns that keep leading you down a certain path of unhappiness, break the cycle.

Emotions are running high on the Pink Moon, our smallest emotions can be magnified and intensified making us feel a little overwhelmed at times, let these emotions out don't hold them back, emotions are our truths. This is the time to put your gratitude forth for all the many blessings in your life and to clearly speak aloud your desires, let what you want be heard by the universe as we step across the edge to the other side, where miracles and magic can happen, dreams can come true. Allow yourself to ask for more.

We are in a powerful time where we are asked to look at what is no longer working in our lives, where is the old skin stuck and inhibiting our further growth. Shed your old skin to allow new growth. At this time we can be surrounded by things, people, situations, attitudes that are actually toxic and need to be burned in the fire, so we can rebirth ourselves from the ashes like the phoenix does.

Use the light of this Full Moon to cast away negativity and the negative aspects of our lives and to let positive and good pour in. Open yourself up and allow your vessel to be filled with the blessings that the universe is sending out right now. Let the winds of Libra gently blow over your spirit to cleanse and heal you.

Have a blessed Full Moon, may the Goddess watch over you.
