So proud to be working in partnership with Shinsei Academy and supporting their students.

Update from Chris Cluitt, director:

"We have been overwhelmed by the response to Shinsei Academy. We have been inundated with messages from parents, schools and agencies seeking information about our offer.

The feedback from pupils that are attending and the parents of our pupils has been incredible; it is driving us on to push our offer further. Pupils are learning in an environment where they are supported, cared for and treated like adults and we are proud to show people what we have created.

We are humbled by the response from everyone and the countless good luck messages.

We are offering a new way of approaching learning and we aim to reach as many young people as possible."

Self-control is strength.

Calmness is mastery.

You have to get to the point where your mood doesn't shift based on the insignificant actions of someone else.

Don't allow others to control the direction of your life.

Don't allow your emotions to overpower your intelligence ..

Often the biggest challenges have been maximised in our heads, then a fear response is formed, leading to procrastination and avoidance.

There is an Indian proverb that says that everyone is a house with four rooms, a physical, a mental, an emotional, and a spiritual .
Most of us tend to live in one room most of the time but unless we go into every room every day, even if only to keep it aired, we are not a complete person ..

Feedback like this means the world to me, what happens in the room is sometimes pure magic, and only the client and I have the privilege of experiencing that together…so to be able to share such positivity sometimes is a real treat ♥️

Wonderful words for some weekend wisdom!
Have a good, safe one x

What worked before no longer is
What was tolerated as normal, isn’t
What was seen as the best is now seen clearly
Because emotional unavailability has lost the thrill
Inconsistency is no longer the secret drug for anxious attachment
Love bombing has been blown wide open
And gaslighting no longer has the ability to make you question yourself
Your inner child is no longer trying to get the love you didn’t receive
No longer trying to give your children the childhood you didn’t have but glorified
You’re done chalking up ancestral trauma as a catch phrase
You get it now
The way everything is connected
And how your wounds only sought out what created them in the first place
That everything you were seeking outside of you actually was what you had to give yourself
S*x isn’t a replacement for intimacy
And emotional regulation is the major turn on
You’ve exited the toxic rollercoaster of highs and lows
Because you know now you were only seeking the chaos you became used to as a child
Avoidance has lost its appeal
And vulnerability is what you seek
Codependency doesn’t stand a chance against your awareness of how you were conditioned into people pleasing
How even if you recall a good childhood doesn’t mean you were taught emotional intelligence
And it’s been hard but you’ve accepted your parents as they are
Even if they weren’t who you needed as a child
You understand empathy looks a lot like hyper sensitivity from an unpredictable childhood
How your parent may love you but doesn’t mean they don’t have narcissistic traits
And that unknowingly they taught you the love to accept
At least in one relationship in life
But that’s not you
Because you’ve finally learned
Stability
Consistency
Healthy communication
Commitment
Self awareness
Accountability
And don’t forget follow through
Is the new sexy
The new standard
And now that you have
There’s simply no going back
Because that was then
But this is now.
✨2023 is the year of healing✨

Use this ALL THE TIME in practice- what is your love language? Do you know what your partners is? Remember, our ‘give’ and ‘receive’ can very often be different!

Have shared before but still adore this art. So poignant x

FROM THE HEALING...

Now is my chance to break free
From the binds that held me so tight.
Forever you will be loved,
But now the time is not right.

Go find your happiness, live your dream;
Your future is yours to create,
But I must let go of this burden
And release your hurt from my space.

The ego makes such presumptions,
It can create such a story of pain,
But no longer do I feel the need
To reassure, plead, beg, explain.

The connection we have is so special,
But in this 3D world it's a bind.
From this day you are mine in the realms
But not held to my physical mind.

I hope you find your happiness,
But the journey is mine alone.
I leave you with love and forgiveness
And I thank you for touching my soul.

I'm not searching for anything else right now,
You can choose to believe that or not,
But if something takes my attention
I will embrace it with all that I've got.

No longer attached to an outcome,
My love is awash with the sea.
I am living my life and taking the chance,
For what is meant to be will be.

FROM THE HURT...

I see you now like a peacock,
Your light for all to see;
I can't help but think you are needy
Of someone more complete than me.

I need to remove the memories
Of all I had planned in my head;
I need to allow you to shine
Without my burden of lead.

I know what we have can't be mended,
Yet I know what we have is true;
My ego protects, builds defences,
And I know I'm not worthy of you.

So I'm blocking your heart from my thoughts,
I just need to drift for a while.
I don't want to grow anymore right now;
I just need to regain my smile.

You talk about bonds and dimensions,
But this life's about money and work.
I know I have been dismissive
But it's how I deal with my hurt.

I won't hold you back on your journey,
I won't interject on your dreams,
But the thought of you with another
Sends a heart pain that fills me with screams.

I imagine you with such attention
For you've nothing to hold you back;
My ego can only judge you
On how my own brain would react.

So I'm stuck holding on, I'm stuck letting go,
You can't hold me up any longer,
But thankyou for your unconditional love;
Inside I know you are stronger.

I won't say I love you and beg,
I won't plead, won't fall to my knees.
I have chosen this level where ego dictates
The life that I should lead.

Goodbye my forever friend,
I secretly hope not forever,
You will always be the sun that shines
But you shine more when we're not together.

FROM THE HEART...

Two lovers left in limbo,
Yet such love lies in-between;
If only they could forge the path
That reaches both their dreams.

Imagine how differently we’d be functioning as a species if we just KNEW these things… (I mean- insert relevant word for you if it’s slightly different) imagine if we were TAUGHT these coping strategies as children as granted? Rather than waiting till we’re so ground down by our lives, then feeling angry that 20 mins of yoga or reading a book once a year isn’t solving the problem?

Hopefully future generations will understand and accept this from an early age- but for now; we gotta teach ourself.

Love this x

The winter solstice time is no longer celebrated as it once was, with the understanding that this is a period of descent and rest, of going within our homes, within ourselves and taking in all that we have been through, all that has passed in this full year which is coming to a close... like nature and the animal kingdom around us, this time of hibernation is so necessary for our tired limbs, our burdened minds.

Our modern culture teaches avoidance at a max at this time; alcohol, lights, shopping, overworking, over spending, comfort food and consumerism.
And yet the natural tug to go inwards as nearly all creatures are doing is strong and the weather so bitter that people are left feeling that winter is hard, because for those of us without burning fires and big festive families, it can be lonely and isolating. Whereas in actual fact winter is kind, she points us in her quiet soft way towards our inner self, towards this annual time of peace and reflection, embracing the darkness and forgiving, accepting and loving embracing goodbye the past year.

"Winter takes away the distractions, the buzz, and presents us with the perfect time to rest and withdraw into a womb like love, bringing fire & light to our hearth".
. and then, just around the corner the new year will begin again, and like a seed planted deep in the earth, we will all rise with renewed energy once again to dance in the sunlight

Life is a gift ❤ a Happy winter to you all...
