🍂👻🍁🎃 Samhain Blessings 🎃🍁👻🍂

I hope you are well and are honoring your needs, as we gently transition from summer into winter.

I thought it might be beneficial to explain and share a little about Samhain; What it is, what may be coming up energetically for you, and some tools that may help balance those energies.

Firstly, just a quick heads up that NOVEMBER'S SOUND BATH will be held in 2 weeks time.

SATURDAY EVENING in Birch Hill, Bracknell.
16th November @ 7:45pm (90mins)

As always if you feel called to join us, tickets are available via the event page. Alternatively, if you have any questions or would prefer to pay by cash, please message me directly to reserve a spot. Thank you.

So here it is - What is Samhain?

It is around Samhain that we often notice a calmness in the air as the cold begins to settle in and we enter the darkest phase of the solar cycle. Samhain (pronounced Sow-Wen), is a Celtic fire/solar festival usually celebrated between 31st October and 2nd November. When we look to nature for guidance at this time of year, we see that the green world has now died back and the last of the leaves now fall from the trees. It is often said that the veil between life and death is thin at this time of year, and many people choose to honor the death of their ancestors and loved ones. It is a great festival to work with endings, reflecting on the past year and setting intentions as we prepare to drop into the long nights.

I personally find this time of year particularly challenging and have often found it hard to let go of what was, to surrender and adjust to these inward, waning energies.

That being said, over time I have developed a set of tools that have enabled me to better navigate this transitional time, enabling me to drop in deeper and to flow more gracefully with the natural world.

So if like me, you find your energy levels feeling heavy and depleted and your emotions super charged, it may help to put some extra time aside for self-love and reflection. This will look different for each individual but as a guide here's a few tools that I use regularly to maintain a balanced and harmonious self.

Assessing and re-establishing boundaries (especially timed and emotional boundaries) / Journaling - thoughts, feelings, reflection of the years achievements and gratitude for all the abundance (no-matter how large/small) / Taking time to sit with and acknowledge your emotions - re-confirming that all emotions are valid and accepted / Clearing out the old, making space for the new - this could be on a physical or emotional level / Forest bathing / Observing, spending time in nature / Earthing (barefoot walking - you can do this in your garden preferably on the grass) / Meditation / Yoga / Crafting / Eat clean and wholesome foods / Enjoying a nice soak in a herbal bath / Putting on a favorite music track and having a dance and sing along to release any pent up energy! / and of course a SOUND BATH would do wonders!

However this may look for you, self-love and self-care are invaluable at this time of year. The most beneficial thing I did was to keep my diary as clear as possible and honor my need to take some down time in nature, reflect and go inward.

If you are still with me, thank you. I hope you have enjoyed the read and I hope to connect with you again, when the time is right.

So however you decide to spend your time, may this weekend be full of love, light and plenty of magic.

Samhain Blessings!

🌱💚CONTAINS PROMOTIONAL OFFER💚🌱

Hello beautiful souls,

As our energies rise with this evening’s full moon, I come bearing lots of love and gratitude.

In just 3 week’s time the doors will re-open for our first CONSCIOUS DANCE (& mini sound bath) of 2024 – To say I’m excited, is a bit of an understatement. Sharing my passion for free-form dance along with all its wonderful benefits is a true blessing and if you haven’t tried it yet, I urge you to give it a go!

Many of you have joined our dancing spirit community through my regular gong and sound journey offerings and may be thinking but WHAT IS CONSCIOUS DANCE?

Firstly, conscious dance is accessible to everybody regardless of age, fitness levels or dance experience – all you need is the ability to, move and be moved!

It is a fun and ecstatic workout that allows you to connect to your heart centre and if you choose, with your fellow dancers. It can be an invaluable tool not only for improving our physical well-being, but also for letting go of limiting patterns, becoming un-stuck and making space for new ways of being.

The music is diverse and at varying tempos, usually including a variety of musical genres, inspired from around the globe. The invitation is to tune into the music, to allow your body, your breath, your intuition, and your heart to be your guide.

Conscious dance is not a new concept. It has been found at the heart of tribal/indigenous communities, practiced by our ancestors from around the globe for centuries. To this day it is still often incorporated into spiritual & medicinal practices, as well as being used largely for bringing people together in celebration, lightening our bodies and lifting our spirits!

It is a free-form dance practice where the dancer has no set steps to follow meaning you can move at your own pace. With the absence of choreography, you are free to switch off your analytical mind, to bring your awareness back to heart centre, to your breath, to be fully present and fully embodied.

From a somatic point of view, many of us have already experienced the powerful effects of music as a gateway to our emotions and when coupled with free-form movement, we can tap into its healing potential by allowing these emotions to be firstly felt, and then expressed and moved through and out of the body through our dance.

It is normal to feel apprehensive and even self-conscious when stepping into the dance space for the first time. Know that this is OK - Come as you are. Trust this is a safe space free from judgement, where you can freely move and explore your own boundaries until your heart’s content! – There is no wrong or right way - simply connect and trust your dancing spirit within.

If you are still feeling a little apprehensive (and even if you’re not!), I’d like to offer a little promotional sweetener to entice you towards this beneficial nectar! 🌷🐝

💚PROMOTIONAL OFFER💚 10% OFF
Enter following promo code at check out - Code: SPRING10

That’s a beautiful energy exchange of just £10.80 for a heart-felt evening of liberating dance, community spirit and mini sound bath.

If you are still with me, fantastic! Thank you for coming this far and if you are feeling inspired to give it a go, even better!

Further details around the format and what to expect can be found on the event link below.

If you still have questions, please feel free to reach out to me!

I hope to see you there.

With Love & Gratitude 💚 Karen
