🌓 New Meditation: Releasing Control
When conversations feel intense…
When relationships shift…
When work pulls at your boundaries…
This is your reminder: you don’t have to hold it all.

This 6-minute breath-led meditation is your space to exhale.
To let go of what’s not yours to carry.
To trust what’s unfolding — even if it’s unclear.
To come back to your centre.

You’re allowed to soften.
You’re allowed to surrender.

🎧 Press play. Let it move through you.
You are safe to let go.

Why do we glorify burnout and call it ambition?

I’ve been sitting with this question after a powerful session with a client who felt “less than” for not working full time. And honestly? I see this everywhere—as a counsellor, as a midwife, as a human.

Capitalism taught us that our value lies in our productivity. That rest must be earned. That exhaustion equals dedication.

But you are not a machine.
You don’t have to be constantly overwhelmed to be worthy.
Rest isn’t laziness—it’s life-giving.

Your humanity was never meant to be conditional.

You are enough, even when you’re still.

🌾 The Sacred Pause 🌾

In the full bloom of high summer, it’s easy to get swept up in doing, achieving, producing.

But nature teaches us that stillness has its season too.

You are allowed to do less.
To rest.
To breathe.
And to let that be enough.

🌘 New Meditation: Growth Through Grief 🌘

Tonight, as the waning crescent moon slips into stillness, we honour the quiet, complex process of letting go.
⠀
This 6-minute guided meditation is a soft space for grief.
A place to breathe, reflect, and remember that even in loss, something within us is still growing.
⠀
Grief is not weakness.
It’s a form of love with nowhere to go.
And in this gentle moment, we let it rest.

⠀
This gentle visualisation honours your inner rhythm – a reminder that stillness is part of your strength.
⠀
🕊️ Tune in when you need a moment of calm. A breath of self-belief. A reminder that you are enough, just as you are.
