🫶 It’s said that, in Ireland, someone who possesses psychic or intuitive ability is simply referred to as having ‘The Gift’. It took me a long while to recognise that that included me and the feelings of wonder and humility - every time I commune with a plant, animal or human - never fade. In fact, the pull to step fully into and honour my ancestral lineage has become stronger than ever in recent years.
🙌 Something that I maybe don’t talk about enough, then, is the energetic work or healing that I facilitate, across all species. I’m absolutely passionate about the trio of core modalities I engage with - something auric, something structural and something holistically medicinal - and very often treatments / consultations will seamlessly combine elements of them all. But what moves me every time, no matter what I offer up, is that our bodies never lie. We each carry our pain as individually as we all exist in this lifetime. And that potentially starts in the womb - the birth experience becoming our first, and our blueprint, of how our own particular version of the world might unfold. For years I mourned the traumatic birth experiences of both my children - for them and for me - until one day I realised that without them I would not be nearly as readily equipped to recognise and facilitate healing around this, in others.
🫶 How many women visit their GP with a presenting skin condition and come away having received not only healing but pelvic guidance for releasing energetically stored trauma? And yet this is normal for the clients I treat. Our energetic imprints are more than loud in the relational field; they tell the stories that sometimes we are too afraid to tell ourselves. In spite of our ‘invisibility cloaks’, heartbreak, digestive issues, lost and unborn children, these all show up for release without my hands even touching someone’s body and without need for taking a detailed medical history. The real skill, then, lies in how we offer up this information to our client so that they remain ‘held’ in the ‘safe space’ we have created together.
🙌 The same is equally true of animals too. I recently witnessed a mare with a history of kissing spines and sarcoids rub herself along the entire length of her stable wall as a means of release, and then reverse into the doorway and proceed to engage in systematic pelvic rocking for same. On this occasion, this was induced by the use of Zoopharmacognosy - the energetics of the oils themselves being a force to be reckoned with.
🫶 It’s no coincidence when practitioners attract to themselves the kinds of client (human or animal) that they are most able to help; and vice versa when a client naturally seeks them out. The work we are drawn together for illustrates beautifully the adage that “the whole is greater than the sum of its parts”; I have been party to this often. So the message in all of this? It’s to listen. With every part of you. And most of all, to honour the heartfelt wisdom that your body is sharing - you are worth it!
🙌 The Autumn Equinox brought us the second harvest; a reminder to show gratitude for the fruits of our labours, as well as a time for introspection as the wheel of the year gently turns; the hues of Autumn bringing their signature comfort and warmth. In recent days, the veil has lifted for the passing over of one of my two childhood heroines, the inimitable Dr Jane Goodall, as well as the esteemed Irish author, Manchán Magan; their shared love of the natural world and messages of hope for the generations to come, an inspiration. As this month’s Hunter’s Moon reaches fullness in the night sky, it’s the perfect time for us to reflect on our relationship with the landscape within us, of us and around us - the all important interconnectedness of all things - and to shed what no longer serves us, moving forwards with even greater purpose and integrity.
🫶 May your days be blessed always 🍃🍂🍁✨
