Thanks to Dr Peta Stapletonfor this amazing article.
"Over ten years ago, an addictive heroine and opioid epidemic led to overcrowded jails around the USA. The same was true in the state of Virginia. Then a local change came along. County Sheriff Karl Leonard started a program in 2016 to help overwhelmed inmates and staff in the Chesterfield County Jail. EFT Tapping made its way into jail. The HARP program, or Helping Addicts Recover Progressively teaches new skills, saves money, and transforms lives. This award winning, nationally renowned program provides mental health care for its inmates. And it is successful. Read here about its success. https://www.chesterfield.gov/CivicAlerts.aspx?AID=5215&
Tapping Tuesday videos features inmates using tapping for self-care. These TikTok videos have gone viral, with millions of views worldwide. Funds from the videos help pay for inmates’ recovery after release from jail. You can watch one on Facebook here.
Now the HARP program has made the CBS News in the last few days. You can watch the report here. https://www.chesterfield.gov/CivicAlerts.aspx?AID=5215&
How great is Tapping?!
Have an amazing week ahead,

A beautiful day with some wonderful souls at the tranquil White Eagle Lodge UK. We rested and soothed our bodies and minds as we listened to Music of the Plants, practiced mindful flowing yoga, explored tapping (EFT) as a way of letting go of tension, tightness, stress, enjoyed fabulous food by the fabulous VeggieBubbles, soaked our feet in herbal footpaths, enjoyed a crystal sound bath and the magical tones of Tori aided by the crystals, drumming and heartfelt and open conversation. Thank you to everyone who joined me.

I have had some lovely feedback- including "I thoroughly enjoyed the retreat. My body felt so relaxed and alive at the same time when I woke up this morning, holding the polarities, a beautiful invitation and intention. Thank you for yesterday. "

I love bringing people together and sharing these practices...XX

Thank you Donna Ashworth xx

Make no mistake, positive people are not naive, they have mined for those nuggets of light at the coalface of rock bottom and if you are lucky enough to be offered a share in that substance of pure power, take it with gratitude and joy.

Don’t underestimate that sunny disposition. It was hard won. 🤩☀️

Love to all. A wonderful week full of life with all its messy everythingness lies ahead. Lucky us x

I’ve been musing over Don Miguel Ruiz’s Four Agreements this morning — especially the first one: "Be impeccable with your word".

It feels like we’re slowly losing this art… our words scattered through hurried texts and social media messages, where tone, kindness and tenderness so easily get lost. The deeper heartfelt conversations — the ones that ask for presence, breath, and courage — can’t quite live fully in little bubbles of text.

So, I’m making a commitment to myself: when it matters, when the heart is involved, I’ll pick up the phone… or better yet, sit face to face.
To speak with love and warmth.
To listen with kindness
To be impeccable with my word.
