Sage advice…🙏🏼✨

“I’m trying so hard to fix myself but I’m going nowhere.” I hear this so often now, people experiment with diets, cleanses etc. I was entangled in that for a long time back when I started my healing journey. Now I know there’s a simple 3-step system:

❤️ Forget all the details, get out of the branches and into the root. And that means get your morning right. You need to detach, to get an observation of yourself that has nothing to do with the outer world. Establish the feeling of independence. If you get sucked straight into the external (phones, people, news, work, worry, grudges) emotional entanglement can loop. Like you start thinking about a trigger person as soon as you wake up, and you can get trapped in that all day. Think: ‘return to the womb’ as the Taoists say. That’s like going through the tunnel back to the start. I use breath for this. Basically you either ‘feel’ detachment or you chase it endlessly with your mind.

☯️ Then exercise your core (abdominal muscles). When your core functions effectively, you get sweet Spleen / Stomach balance & nutrient assimilation, rather than leaky gut (the going nowhere feel), and nice nourishing chi flowing to your Heart, the seat of your soul. Something has to power your journey, and this is the fuel extraction process you need to follow and realize your soul’s mission! This is how to kickstart going somewhere!

🌿Take medicinal Chinese herbs to treat immediate symptoms, like lack of energy (a big one lately), anxiety, insomnia etc

👆Do these 3 essential steps every morning and you will start going somewhere. You will see a path, doors will open, opportunities will arise, support will appear. It’s a promise of the universe, and proven in my own personal journey, and I’ve seen it work in everyone who does it and that’s been the case over 40 years of clinical practice.

As humans, it’s fair to say that we all wish to be seen, heard and acknowledged, with a level of care and compassion. Guess what? So do the different parts of us that makes themselves known as reactions and bodily sensations that might bring about a sense of discomfort.

It’s only natural to want to push what makes us feel uncomfortable away. This can work as a short term strategy, but in the long term, can bring about feelings and reactions that invite us to look beneath the surface.

When we can meet ourselves with compassion, rather than judgment, the part of us that asks for our attention softens. It feels seen and heard, inviting the possibility of connection, freeing up space for more kindness, more awareness, more hope and self acceptance.

Parts That Don't Want to Heal

When we choose something that is not best for us, there can be a deep seated part of us that does not want to heal.
In almost every case, we know what is best for us in our lives, from the relationships we create to the food we eat. Still, somewhat mysteriously, it is often difficult to make the right choices for ourselves. We find ourselves hanging out with someone who leaves us feeling drained or choosing to eat fast food over a salad. We go through phases where we stop doing yoga or taking vitamins, even though we feel so much better when we do. Usually, we have no idea why we continue to make the less enlightened choice, but it is important that we inquire into ourselves to find out.

When we choose something that is not best for us, the truth can be that there is a deep seated part of us that does not want to heal. We may say it’s because we don’t have the time or the energy or the resources, but the real truth is that when we don’t take care of ourselves we fall prey to self-sabotage. Self-sabotage happens unconsciously, which is why it’s so difficult to see that we are doing it. It’s important to realize that the very part of us that resists our healing is the part that most needs our attention and love. Even as it appears to be working against us, it can become our greatest ally if we can simply bring it into the light of our consciousness. It carries the information we need to move to the next level in our healing process.

When we recognize that we are not making healthy choices, we might even say out loud, “I am not taking care of myself.” Sometimes this is the jolt we need to wake up to what is actually happening. Next, we can sit ourselves down in meditation, with a journal, or with a trusted friend to explore the matter more thoroughly. Just shining the light of our awareness on the source of our resistance is sometimes enough to dispel its power. At other times, further effort is required. Either way, we need not fear these parts that do not want to heal. We only need to take them under our wing and bring them with us into the light.

Love your shoes ♥️

Today is International Day of Friendship 🫶🏻

I LOVE YOUR SHOES

I said your hair looked amazing but what I really wanted to say was…
“Your energy sparks a little bit of something in mine, your smile warms my heart, and when you laugh, I just have to laugh too, it’s like a bubbling stream of fresh water running through my soul. I feel like the sun is shining on me when you’re near and when I leave you, sad as it is, I feel like I’ve been charged, plugged into the mains for an infusion of fizz and life.”
But I said “I love your shoes,” instead.
I hope you heard, what I really meant.
