Is this you?

Energy rising,
Full of potential,
Excitement and fear in equal measures,
A call to take a leap,
Edging towards the unknown,
Bursting from your body,
Pushed ahead by your soul,
In trust you will be caught,
As you set yourself free,
Held by the vulnerability,
Of your own bravery.

Can you see yourself in this image?

Nature is the perfect representation of the alrhemical process we undergo.

Spring is here. The ascent begins. 🌷

The flower opens in vulnerability to the bees.

The bird expands it's wings with risk of falling.

Still, Her rhythm encourages that we must move ourselves along. 🌀

We are safely carried by a throb - beyond mind - that pulsates throughout our bodies.

Suffering comes from resisting this life-force within you. In refusal to grow, morph and change, we find ourselves stuck in patterns of the past. Clinging. Holding. 'Safe'.

This is the call to rise; to expand beyond ⚡

It's the rhythm of your purpose
Resting in perfect harmony
With the greater purpose of us all 🌷

Darling,
These are not pains.
They are contractions. 🌹

Something is ready to birth through you.

So breathe and surrender.
To your own divine awakening.

You're not going it alone.

You are supported
By Her.

The Greatest Mother. 🌎🌷

All she wishes for is your return.

This generous gift
Of Yourself - to Herself
Is how you find your way Home.

On March 24th, we gather for a cacao ceremony to bring to light this intimate relationship with Nature that encourages us to blossom at The Spring Equinox. What is calling you forward? Who might you become? There are still some spaces remaining.

Comment ❤️ and I'll send you the details 💛✨

Who am I? What is Luna Soul? 👇🏻

My name is Martha and I’m a deeply passionate soul educating the masses about the wisdom of our cyclical nature.

I live and breathe the beauty of holistic homecoming; self-discovery through peeling back our conditional layers so that we can become who we truly are.

Passionate about the magic of ceremonial cacao, the menstrual cycle and therapeutic expression, I'm here to help women embrace their wisdom, find harmony and live authentically.

I believe that cycles of life carry us through the greater web of our shared human fabric. Whether via death & birth, grief & joy, menstruation & ovulation or Summer & Winter, cyclical living returns us to our true nature so that we may prosper as human-beings. 🙏🏼

So, I share..
❤ Cacao Ceremonies
❤ 1:1 Cacao Sessions
❤ Creativity-infused Workshops
❤ Menstrual Cycle Education
❤ Yoga & Meditation

Luna = Moon Goddess; the cyclical nature of life
Soul = The eternal essence of a human being

Luna Soul is more than ‘me’; it's a small vessel of feminine liberation. I deeply feel the struggles of women in a patriarchal society, yet I also recognize our inherent beauty, power, and wisdom that this world needs.

I've been told I embody the essence of cacao with my love of truth, hope and possibility✨

Participants of my ceremonies say they are welcoming, inspiring, and fun; like me, I hope 😉

I've taught yoga in cool places like a chocolate factory by a volcano on a Nicaraguan island and an eco-hotel in the Colombian rainforest. My classes are playful, intuitive and absolutely break the rules. (A bit like me too?)

Although only a brief surface intro, my heart holds immeasurable depth shaped by a journey of adversity and growth. The person I am today is thanks to my own grief and suffering which lead me to a breaking-point 7yrs ago with no other choice but to crack the f*ck open. ⚡

I learned that no matter how dark things become, there's always light at the end of the tunnel, and that light is inside. ❤️

The beauty of life’s cycles continue to carry me in becoming the person I’m meant to be. I'm really grateful to be in a position to share my own wisdom & guide you back to yours.

❤️ Martha

Do you feel it? 🌷

An ever so delicate shift in the air; one that brings brighter mornings and melodies of birdsong while the calm, grounded hue of this colder season still holds us safely in her protective layer.

We are not quite ready to emerge from our nests, but we are being given a peak out between the branches ~ to witness the light that sneaks in through the cracks.

'Light' simply means awareness. Contrary to the deep Winter, whereby everything incubated in darkness ~ the unknown ~ we are ever so slowly and gently being shown the next focal point of our psyches ready for reveal {into the light} ✨

Nature reminds us to trust in Mystery; to become friends with the darkness and to let our unseen particles surrender into her void.

In allowing parts of ourselves to die each cycle, we learn that death too, plays its vital role within the orchestra of Life. ❤️

If you haven't used Winter for self enquiry, it's never too late to begin communing with the endless, unfathomable power around and within you.

When I began to look to nature; my world changed. I gained an invaluable teacher that reminded me that I, myself, am my own Guru ~ that I, too, belong within these grand, continuous cycles and I, too, have a place.

Through Her cycles, I gained belonging, connection, understanding of myself and a roadmap to navigate what could otherwise be a blinding chaotic journey.

Dancing upon the rhythm of life, she breathes another day ~ every day ~ and so do you. 🌱

Nature is the perfect picture of hope, of resilience, of second, third, fourth and fifth chances. No matter how dark things may seem for you, the sun will shine again ~ and so will you. 🌞

Much love,
Martha X

Hey loves, happy first day of Spring! 🌷

I have rescheduled an upcoming cacao ceremony to fall on St. Brigid's Day, Monday 5th Feb - representing Ireland goddess of Imbolc and the shift into Spring! 🌼

We will rather virtually between 11am - 1pm to reconnect to our inner light while honouring the darkness that has enveloped us all Winter.

Light = Truth... not necessarily happiness or joy! So whatever way you're feeling right now is welcome!

The intention of this ceremony is to nurture that deep self connection so that we can proceed in the months ahead with a connection to our core 'soul' self. 😘

Think journalling, ritual, meditation, inspiration and community.

I know this will be a beautiful gathering of likeminded souls, so it would mean a lot if you wanted to co-create that space ❤️

This will also give you a wee taste of the special day I have planned (in person) for the Spring Equinox in March. Attendees of this will receive first dibs and a cheeky discount to say thanks 🙏🏼✨

Loveeeee you!!!!

See you soon,

Hi friends, long time no chat! I have returned to Dublin for a little while and am excited to share my first event with you all ✨

Introducing my Self-Care Workshop 💕

I'd like to personally invite you to a cozy gathering taking place Thursday 2nd February around the theme of self-love and care.

Caring for ourselves is a vital act of love, not just for ourselves but those around us. It helps us to build resilience, self-esteem and to live with more powerful authenticity.

When we learn to properly care for ourselves {mind, body & soul}, we create a steady anchor not just to survive but to thrive even the most turbulent of times.

The rough schedule is as follows...

✨ Meditation
We will use meditation to ground into the space, connecting to the present moment and all that exists within our beings.

✨ Cacao/Tea Ritual
Warming our souls, we will infuse our evening with whatever elixir that tickles our fancy. I will post a portion of heart-opening cacao to those interested 🍫

✨ Light Stretching
Some intuitive yogic, seated stretching will grant us opportunity to connect to our bodies and provide some TLC & tenderness to any forgotten, tight or neglected areas.

✨ Self Care Discussion
Allow me to chit-chat about the importance of self-care and why it is of benefit to prioritise our wellbeing in this busy world.

✨ Journalling
You will be guided through a series of journalling exercises to connect to your subconscious mind and to properly come to grips with your current self-care efforts, with prompts to improve in small ways.

✨ Sharing Circle
Connecting as a group, we will help eachother along by co-creating a space of safety, expression and inspiration.

✨ Self Care Tips & Tools
Now you know why. Time to learn HOW. I will share some ideas, tips and techniques to infuse your everyday lives with some tender loving self-care.

I want you to leave this workshop feeling relaxed, renewed but also energized and inspired. Learn how rewarding prioritizing self-care can be.

Please, allow me to guide you through this fun, relaxing and interactive evening where all that is required of you is your openness, your curiosity and your will to love yourself just that little bit more than before.

I want to spread the love! So, invite your friend and they will receive 50% off 💕 Just ask for a code!

PS - if you are struggling financially, I still want to welcome you. Please message me with your circumstances! Nobody will be excluded from this evening of self-love & care.

Hope to see you soon 😘 Martha x

Wow! 🌷 Second 1:1 session with a new client today was equally as powerful as the first.. ✨

My first client quickly referred her friend to me before they left the area, and I'm so glad! ❤️

Being told that she had one of the most transformational experiences of her life is deeply rewarding and encouraging for me. 🙏

To hold somebody in their moment of deep connection with themselves is extremely touching.

I have been immersed in the holistic healing world for about 5 years now since my own journey began. Although I have tried and trained in many modalities, I feel called to share only the medicina most poignant to my soul. 🍃✨

Shamanic Reiki & Cacao Journey with Hapé & Essential Oils ❤️

(Alongside softly spoken meditation and the occasional touch of self reflective poetry 🌻)

All rooted in truth, love and self acceptance. ❤️

I feel really blessed to continue to offer this service on a 1:1 basis for anybody who feels called to infuse more self-love in their lives. 🌻

Grateful for another day that happened so organically ✨

Finally ✨ Plucked up the courage to provide my first 1:1 healing session.

After so many years of trainings, qualifications and practices, all I've truly been waiting for is my own inner authority. 🙏

I have felt ready to hold space for people in a real way for a very long time, but had been tripped up by my habitually learned perfectionism.

I love 'succeeding' at things so much that I have a tendency to hold myself back without that guarantee.

Drives. Me. F*cking. Mad.

Well, these last 10 months have been very confronting. I've had to really look at myself, my life direction and ask myself if I am living up to the person I know is inside.

It was only when there was no more ego attached but a genuine desire to help that I finally felt ready to hold space for somebody else.

And... it was beautiful! 😊

I feel very priveleged to witness my client experience a breakthrough. She described it as the most powerful experience of her life!

Using a combination of cacao, rapé medicina and shamanic reiki healing, I guided today's client on a beautiful journey home to her true nature of love and forgiveness.

My teacher always told me that the right people will find me and my own unique medicine.

Well, while guiding somebody through such deeply embedded issues related to self love, worth and forgiveness - something akin to my own experience in life - I understood that as absolute truth. ❤️

We each experience hardship and times of turmoil but if we can garner up the strength to rebuild ourselves one layer at a time, then one day we may hold the hands of others doing the same - even if that just means passing a friendly smile. ✨

People with a mission to help others are usually just humans that have experienced some real s**t and have slowly integrated their lessons, with love, into their way of life.

So whoever you choose as your guide, be sure to sit with those not afraid of darkness. It is through the subtle cracks between that rays of light may enter. ✨

❤️

Grateful for today.

Lots of love, Martha x

Martha Luna Yoga

My name is Martha & like you, I’m a multidimensional being just bursting to step out from the shadows and into the light - though have often let fear hold me back. We are all human beings, terrified of striving but yearning to thrive. Through Martha Luna Yoga, I understand vulnerability as our greatest strength. This page will document a mere glimmer of my soul through insightful words, philosophical musings and of course - yoga.

Yoga, for me, is not about flexibility, ease of movement or whether or not our breath is as deep as the ocean or as light as a summers breeze. Yoga, to me, is a philosophy; a union between mind and body, heart and soul. 💕 Yoga has facilitated my journey of self acceptance. Throughout this practice, I have met myself in the darkest corners of my soul and gradually found the pieces of myself that this world led me to forget. ☀️ And during times which I resist or abandon my practice, she only invites me further. Nowhere to go & nowhere to hide; a bountiful mirror reflecting truth, forgiveness and self compassion. Like waves that drift hypnotically along the sandy beach, yoga is the current that welcomes me home. 🌊 I know that, even though the future is unclear, I'm only getting started ❤️✨ So much to share, so much to learn. Thank you for being part of it all 🌙🙏✨
