Dolphin Spirit- “This and that are true.”

Oracle Message: Dolphin Spirit is a reminder of duality. As the dolphin is both mammal and sea creature, so too is Dolphin Spirit both “this” and “that.” Two truths coexist: the story you tell and another as well. In all areas of your life, there are aspects of both “this” and “that.” Today you can celebrate this fact and recognize the complexity and the beauty of the fabric of the universe. You are at a place right now where your past self is still present as you move toward the new self you are becoming. Find solace in this “between time.” Today is not a day to choose one over another, but rather to accept things as they are without judgment or resistance. Even in matters of the heart, duality is present. Your next action will be obvious when you drop your bias and see things as a whole.

Protection Message: When you most want to be acknowledged as “right” and see other ways as “wrong,” Dolphin Spirit appears as a reminder that the story of your suffering and righteousness is a little more complicated than you are admitting right now. Do you want to see things in black and white, and be rigid in your ideas of what’s correct and what is not? Release your rigidity and embrace the fluidity of life as you recognize the grays that remind you there are two sides to every story, an upside to each down-side, and a blessing in every challenge.
What you think is wrong may end up being right for you, so let Dolphin Spirit soften your heart so that you make the best decision at this time, playing with the possibilities that present themselves.

✨ My Yoga Journey ✨

As some of you know, I was diagnosed with fibromyalgia in 2017 after struggling with severe body pain, especially in my back. For years, I relied on weekly osteopath visits just to manage.

Everything started to shift when I found Joy Studio with the wonderful Jenna Owen. Since joining, I now only see my osteopath when I really need to, because yoga has become my true therapy.

Practicing 2–3 times a week has been absolutely life-changing for me:

💜 Physically – my pain has eased, my body feels stronger and more open.
💜 Mentally – I feel calmer, more present, and better equipped to manage stress.
💜 Spiritually – I’ve found a deeper connection to myself and a beautiful community to grow with.

The energy in the studio is something really special, Jenna’s knowledge and guidance are incredible, and the community is simply perfect. I genuinely love attending every class.

If you’ve been thinking about starting yoga, whether for your body, mind, or soul. I can’t recommend it enough. It’s been the best gift I’ve given myself. 🌸

✨Beginners mind- ✨Have you ever wanted to start something new? It doesn’t have to be yoga- maybe it’s a sport or a craft or maybe starting training at the gym but you’ve felt too scared. Maybe you feel like you don’t know enough, people will judge you, you are too frightened to take that first step? How about we change the mindset on being a beginner- it’s not a problem it’s an opportunity for possibility!

The possibilities as a beginner are endless! Beginners are less likely to have tonnes of expectations, beginners are less likely to judge yourself , as a beginner you are less likely to have a mind full of stuff- you are vessel ready to be filled! How exciting is that? I watch my kids when they try something new - no fear just pure excitement of something new! I wish as adults we kept this mindset!

So that thing you want to start- stop talking yourself out of it! Talk yourself into it! Get that beginners mind going! Already practising yoga? When not try looking at your next practice or class with a complete beginners mind- no expectation, no judgement just open to new thoughts, new feelings, maybe new movements!

If yoga is your “one day I’ll start” is yoga I teach weekly beginners classes on Wednesdays at 6pm. I also teach Complete Beginners 4 week courses- the next is starting on Monday 29th September at 7.30pm. Both are bookable at jennaowenyoga.com

Spider Spirit - “Make your dreams real.” 🕷️ 💙

Oracle Message: Weaving your dreams into the fabric of life begins with a single thread of intention, and then Spirit joins as your co-weaving partner. Take but a single step to make your dream a reality, and Spirit will take ten toward you, for the universe is designed to support your dream-weaving. Spider Spirit arrives when you need reminding of the awesome power of co-creation with Spirit. Ideas and resources will begin to appear as if by magic as you begin to bring your dreams from the realm of intention into the world of the senses where they take form. So be clear about your intentions, and then act as if you have become the one that lives the life you desire. Another message of Spider Spirit is about any creative project you may be considering: writing, painting, music, journaling, gardening, etc. Now is the time when inspiration wants to be channeled through. Creative projects are successful now, if you are so inclined. Let yourself be open to abundance.

Protection Message: Are you expecting your dreams to weave themselves into reality? Are you stuck in the sticky web of weaving dreams, but never following through? The thread of Intention isn’t enough to make dreams a reality unless you do your part in the weaving. Spider Spirit wants you to know that your plans will remain ephemeral unless you commit to being productive and industri-ous, for Spirit will not do it all for you. Magic needs to be instigated, so begin to make your dream a reality by taking action today.
What are you willing to do? What are you willing to sacrifice? Can you release your limiting beliefs? Your dream is worthy of weaving. Today is a day to choose one small step toward your dream. Remember, Spirit is your weaving partner; you just have to be the first one to bring the thread to the loom, then continue to do your part.

Badger Spirit - “Be fearless and bold.”

Oracle Message: Badger Spirit rejoices at your persistence and commitment to what is true for you. Whatever you seek, your tenacity and faith in your partnership with Spirit is paying off, and the results will soon coalesce into form. The gift of Badger Spirit is the surety that taking a risk now and being courageous, fearless, and bold will yield wondrous results. This is a time to harness your will and apply it consistently to the pursuit of your dreams.
You will manifest your desires in divine timing and in the form that Spirit deems best for you. Badger Spirit says you have what it takes to get what you want. Be fearless and be bold as your purpose calls you. New relationships are also given a green light now. Don’t be afraid to make the first move. Badger Spirit loves your brave and mighty heart!

Protection Message: When Badger Spirit comes to protect you, he reminds you that anger or aggression, argumentative behav-ior, and being pushy or manipulative will not result in a positive outcome. Perhaps someone close to you has excess Badger energy, or perhaps that energy is pent-up in you. Either way, now is the time to calm down and allow the energy to pass through you. Go for a hike or brisk walk, shake it off, or dance it out so you can return to the situation determined and committed, but not so intense that you overwhelm others and yourself.
The appearance of Badger Spirit also serves as a reminder if you have been relentlessly pursuing something that keeps eluding you. The message is that it’s time to surrender it to your Higher Power and focus on something else. Badger Spirit wants to protect you from self-will run rampant. Remember, the world doesn’t revolve around your wants. Better, more beautiful opportunities will be the result when you release some of that Badger Spirit intensity along with your need to have it your way.

Koi Fish Spirit - “There is always enough.”

Oracle Message: The koi fish, who grows big within a small pond, reminds us that within each of us is the potential for pros-perity. The Law of Abundance ensures that prosperity is our natural state, so regardless of temporary outer conditions, you can call in prosperity and magnetically attract the opportunities and abundance you need. The message of Koi Fish Spirit is to begin to generate wealth within, with deliberate intention, no matter how small your pond may seem—and appreciate abundance wherever you see it. Outer conditions will come to reflect your inner prosperity, so become the self who is comfortable with wealth in all forms. Start to envision the plenty that Spirit wants you to experience and Spirit will joyfully start bringing you what you need. You have so much to offer and so much of value to express to the world. In your little pond, there is much you can create and much you can attract. Koi Fish Spirit wants you to know that you are exquisite, loved, and deeply cherished. Trust that outer conditions are changing to reflect that truth.

Protection Message: Are you feeling a sense of scarcity, afraid you will not have enough and not be enough to meet the challenges you face? Whatever your outer conditions, they are temporary and reflecting what was set forth in the past. Koi Fish Spirit is your ally in changing those conditions by transforming your inner beliefs about scarcity and plenty. Perhaps you have suffered a loss or are afraid you soon will. Koi Fish asks you to find prosperity within by connecting to Spirit through spiritual practices. Spirit wants to remind you that your natural state is one of abundance. Remember all chat you have to offer so that you can generate your own opportunities, love relationships, and even more. As you give to others, your own sense of prosperity grows and your outer conditions begin to shift in an alchemical reaction. Prosperity and love are yours to receive, experience, and enjoy. Believe it.

✨ Feeling Grateful ✨

I can honestly say, I absolutely love what I do.
Holding space for clients to rest, to heal, and to simply breathe in this busy world is such an honour. I love seeing the weight lift from your shoulders, the peace in your eyes, and the friendships we’ve built over the years.

I can hardly believe it’s been almost five years since I took the leap into self-employment. Five years of learning, growing, laughing, and sharing so many beautiful moments with you all.

To every single person who has booked a treatment, followed this page, interacted, commented, or sent a kind word, thank you. You’ve made my dream a reality, and I will never stop being grateful for that. 💫

Here’s to many more years of holding space for you. 🌿
