Balance!
🌱How are you in this moment?
🌱How is your sense of balance?
🌱What does balance mean to you?

I think we are sometimes encouraged to find balance in a way that we believe should be finite, perfect and static. That we could misunderstand that when we are balanced, then we carry on in life... unable to make our way otherwise. When, in fact, balance is dynamic, responsive and changing all the time.

🌞What we want is to find ourselves centred enough to sense, feel and know ourselves from within, to respond and return to balance. To make adjustments moment to moment.

I invite you to check in right now… how is your mind? Body? Breath… sense of yourself? Do you feel a sense of balance? Would you say you are balanced? In balance? Grounded? Calm? Present?

These are words people often reflect back to me in 1:1 sessions when we work with concepts like balance when coming into regulation and an inner state of calm awareness. A steadiness, centering and presence within. This to me ALLOWS balance. For a dynamic balance to unfold and become, breath by breath. How about you?

And if you don't feel balanced at all, and the weight of the world is getting you down and pushing you off balance, know there is always help and support available. Take a breath right here and now… and another… you are not alone. What do you need right now?

Be well. Be healthy. Be joyful and free - mind, body and soul. Jo 💗

Self care is so important and is needed more than ever with the current pace of life and all that is potentially bombarding our mind and nervous system. I personally combine different practices that really work for me in their simplicity.

I choose things which are readily available in the present moment and that might not even look like ‘practices’. For example, nature is so grounding and heart opening. Heart practice is a near constant, moments of quiet soothe me as well as breathing well to calm my mind and nervous system and the simple power of Havening Techniques® is incredible too.

I’ve never been great at meditating for long periods of time but I have cultivated a deep inner stillness and reservoir of calm and peace that I can rest into. Practices over many years have led to developing this steadiness and grounded presence. I find the combination of neuroscience and spirituality very powerful. To combine lifestyle and techniques that bridge science and spirituality to create an internal shift in state, return to regulation, a change in perception and ultimately… well-being.

So what do you choose? How do you bring in self care? Nature is a great remedy and nervous system reset, even if we are connecting through the house or office window before we can get outside. Being aware of our breath and meeting ourselves with compassion are big on my list too.

🙏 Feeling overwhelmed and out of sorts?
🙏 Can’t find your footing or grounding?
🙏 Needing some TLC and support to quieten the mind and decompress emotions?
🙏 To come back to steadiness and calm?

Get in touch and see how I can support you at this time to return to wellbeing, resilience, gentleness, inner calm, compassion and an enthusiasm for life.

In love and with tenderness for how you are right now. Jo 🌞💚

Beautiful Souls, After the most misty and foggy day, and seeing only white and zero sky, this was what greeted us on our drive home from a very crisp walk. Utterly gorgeous. The sky cleared only in this direction to see the rays of the sun after it set.

Huge gratitude for this spectacle and the bright light of the sun setting on 2025. Making the most of the beauty of life and the joy of living remains my intention and this is deepening into 2026. Thanks to this moment it's started off pretty well! Love you all, Jo 😊✨💗

This is the beautiful article 'The Sacred Heart of Darkness - Being Embraced by Winter' for those that want to slow down and sink into this lovely invitation and practice.

Blessings and love to you all,
Jo ☺️

We might wonder and fear what is outside us in the dark, what lurks and waits? The darkness of winter can be challenging. For some, it can seem daunting, disorientating or bring up thoughts and feelings of fear, lack or loss. It can highlight what feels dark or scary within us, places we don't care

Hello Wonderful People, I am sharing this blog post writing again with the intention to help you navigate the festive and holiday season. How can we be mindful and make good choices when there are potential pitfalls and traps we might encounter.
Read and listen here: https://www.sacredjourneys.org.uk/blog/the-nostalgia-trap

With the festivities fast approaching, and the evidence of the more commercial and monetised element very apparent, I wanted to take time to reflect on what the season means to me.

✨ Where do I place my awareness?
✨ How have I come to interact and connect with this time?
✨ How I am trying to do so with greater and greater integrity, aligned with my own values and beliefs?

And you?
⭐️What really matters to you?
⭐️Where do you want to place your time, money and energy?
⭐️Are you living in the present or are you getting pulled into the past or the future?

Be inspired, be reassured and be free to choose for yourself. And whatever you choose may you have a beautiful season, celebrating in the best way for you.
With love and hearts embrace,
Jo 🙏🏻
