Well-Beings Yoga & Mindfulness

02/02/2026

I am the dream of awakening.

I am the returning of the light.

I am the tough green shoot pushing up through the pavestones, I am the first kiss of sunlight on the unfurling petals of the snowdrop. I am the wind which whispers the gentle pull of home to the migratory bird.

I am the drop of ice melting on the mountainside with its great dream of the ocean.

I am the sap rising in the blossom tree just before it reveals its sticky buds to the sky; I am the riotous celebration humming away beneath the earth’s mantle of frozen sleep.

I am the rousing of the bee from its winter slumber, and the soft pad of the mother-wolf’s paw on the snow as she prepares to birth her pups.

I am hope, potential, rebirth and promise. I am the kindling breath which transforms a spark of inspiration into a blazing torch.

Give me the silent crescent moon rising over the sea and I will build you a bridge of silver light so you can walk across and lie down in it.

Give me the frost-hardened wilderness and I will lay my cloak of radiant green life over it.

I am Brigid, Bast, Inanna and Hestia. I am the fierce protectress of the sacred fire.

Tonight I bestow my gifts of power and courage at the hearth of your soul. Power to shed all that which no longer serves you, and courage to clear your heart and mind for the dawn that awaits you. For I am the longing of the spirit which refuses to be consumed by a narrative of fear and chooses instead to place itself vivaciously on the side of love.

I am the song which cannot be silenced, for it is carried deep in the bones of the land. I am the flame which cannot be doused, for it is kept aglow in the hearts of the free. I am the wellspring of knowledge and the milk of the life-force. From the darkness of the earth I give light to the flame which will forge the new world.

I am the stirring in your belly that knows what you are capable of, and just how much your gifts are needed now. For you are as much a part of this world as the rivers and the forests, the creatures and the stars in the night sky. All are sacred to me.

For I am the Exalted, Goddess of land, sea and sky.

I am the fire within which will not be contained any longer.

I am the quickening, I am the serpent uncoiling, I am Imbolc.

I am the dream of awakening ...

💓 I cannot recommend Laana at enough 💓

I had an aromatherapy massage and left feeling so much less tense and knotty.

Laana is originally from Thailand and you can really feel the influence during the massage.

I was offered refreshments on arrival and she even used a singing bowl during the treatment, which was right up my street 💟

Massages are currently on offer on Groupon, with a further discount today only.

I am not getting any benefits from this post, other than sharing the love 🥰

Try these grounding techniques at work, school or home 💜🫶🏻

𝗚𝗿𝗼𝘂𝗻𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘆𝗼𝗴𝗮 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗯𝗮𝗰𝗸-𝘁𝗼-𝘀𝗰𝗵𝗼𝗼𝗹 𝗻𝗲𝗿𝘃𝗲𝘀 🧘‍♀️🌳

Back-to-school season brings fresh starts, and sometimes, anxious energy. Whether it's new routines, deadlines or social pressures, these easy calming yoga poses can help teens feel more grounded and balanced:

⛰ Seated Mountain Pose: Perfect when seated at a desk (at school or home). Sit tall, feet flat, spine long. Rest hands on your thighs, close your eyes and breathe slowly. Great for refocusing and calming the mind.
🌉 Bridge Pose: Lie on your back, feet flat and knees bent. Press into your feet to lift hips. Opens the chest, grounds the body and deepens the breath.
🌸 Child’s Pose: Kneel, bring big toes to touch, knees wide and fold forward with forehead on the mat. Stretches the back, releases tension and brings a sense of calm.
⬇ Forward Fold: From standing or seated, hinge at the hips and let your head hang. Encourages quiet and calms a racing mind.
🔄 Legs Up the Wall: At home, lie down and rest your legs vertically on a wall. Stay for 5–10 minutes. This gentle inversion helps soothe the nervous system and relieve tired legs.

🌙

The Snow Moon lands in Leo this year, on 12 February.
The fire sign Leo – which is associated with the fifth house, is also associated with creativity, romance and self-expression.
The most important thing you can do this full moon is to listen to your heart.
The full moon in Leo focuses attention on on our true selves. It's the perfect time to look deep inside yourself and reconnect with what truly matters to you. Focus on what you really want and use the full moon as an opportunity to realign your goals with your true self.

Namaste beautiful souls 🙏

Namaste
means that my soul
acknowledges yours ..
not just your light,
your wisdom,
your goodness,
but also your darkness,
your suffering,
your imperfections.
It is a recognition
and acceptance of
the inexplicable
divine absurdity,
the miraculous woven
into the ordinary,
light and darkness
intimately entwined
in magical, messy
humanity.
It means that I honor
all that you are
with all that I am.
So, namaste,
my fellow travelers.
I'm so glad we're on
this trek through
the universe together ..

🌟 🌒 FULL MOON BLESSINGS 🌑 🌟

The first Full Moon of 2025, known as the 'Wolf Moon,' offers a chance to release old fears and set new intentions. This lunar event is viewed as a spiritual reset, providing clarity and growth. Reflecting under moonlight, writing down goals, and affirming intentions can harness its transformative energy tonight.

💜 Full moon rituals are a way to connect with the moon's energy, cultivate a sense of purpose, and promote personal empowerment. There are no right or wrong ways to participate, and you can create practices that resonate with you 💜

Don’t forget to recharge those crystals ✌🏻
