The Simplicity of Somatics.....

I am often asked about practices that can be used to calm the mind and body.... and what I have noticed is that we often look for something quite complex or time consuming.

I wonder do you feel that the smallest, simplest practices can't be enough? I know I used to....

The truth is that simple techniques are very effective if we know how to target the Vagus nerve..... for example try humming to engage the relaxation / calm response......

THE SEASON OF LETTING GO

And so begins the season of letting go,
when Mother Nature shows us all,
how it’s done.

Let go,
free yourself,
shake it off,
drop it,
give way for the new.

Create space for new thoughts, new ideas,
new adventures and new connections,
by shedding the dead weight you’ve been carrying around,
for so long.

And whilst you are there, being reborn and renewed,
let go of old anxieties too.

Let go of any doubts, fears or beliefs which no longer serve you well.

Release bitterness or past hurts which feast on your beauty.

Be brave,
Don’t fear the nakedness as your leaves slip away.

Mother Nature doesn’t,
watch and learn.

Today I was reminded to connect to nature. It’s usually a regular part of my life, but for some reason I had slipped out of the routine and knew I was feeling the call - but like many of us I needed a nudge.
That came in the form of an incredible reflexology treatment from my good friend Rosita Hills and afterwards I took myself off for a long and fabulous walk.
I shared some time with a young camera shy orange breasted Robin - he truly was the colour of autumn and collected autumnal goodies for the medicine wheel and the drum circles at the shed… such joy and blessings - I walked slowly and stopped frequently, aware of my tiredness today and now I am feeling refreshed and reconnected (and this reminds me to rest now too- it is after all a the season of change and release).
So I hope, should you need that little reminded too this will help.
