Happy new year to you! It’s a brand new cycle - may your saddlebags be filled with all kinds of gold this year, just like this honeybee. 🥰

Nature has no impediment to accessing the uplifting and creative and life force of the solar system. This life force runs true through nature in all her forms which is why we want to lean in closely if we aren’t feeling ourselves.

Whether that’s through playing in the great outdoors, observing the seasons, eating foods from the land, planting more trees or turning to the medicinal plants … we become increasingly clear, calm and vitalised every time we step through nature’s doorway. Ultimately we are nature, and Mother Nature helps us to remember this in body and mind.

It is my understanding that the Kiwi holds the vibration of Sovereignty. With its shaggy korowai Cloak and long beak as its Staff, it is easy to imagine this as so. As more Kiwi are released back into the wild - to walk amongst us again - the symbolism for what this means is profound.

Due to the uneven distribution of wealth, I’ve never been much of a royalist. I’ve thought that the so-called royals should come down to be at our level - but in recent times I’ve experienced a total reversal in outlook. Rather than sovereignty coming down - it’s about us going up - humanity rising to that of the sovereign. When the inner state of sovereignty regains more of a foot hold here on earth - the need for all the outward pomp and sparkle will no longer be necessary. The extraordinary will come to look more ordinary, with sovereign individuals literally shining from the inside out.

This is the invitation to us now as we discern what has true value in our life. What does your innate version of sovereignty look like? Can the states of stress and sovereignty co-exist?

I’ve been working with lots of self-identified ‘yo-yo-ers’ lately … all-or-nothing individuals in regards to food choices and exercise. The pattern of yo-yo is calling for balance, as extremes of anything tends to cause more issues than it does results.

Rather than living at 0% or 100% SOME of the time - the invitation to a yo-yo’er is to strive for 80% or 90% ALL of the time. Our body and mind finds consistency inherently stabilising. Allow yourself 10-20% slack in order to achieve your goals. It’s about sure progress that stands the test of time.

If there’s a voice in your head telling you this is just who I am - I’m an all-or-nothing guy/gal - don’t believe a word of it. That’s the unbridled ego at work.

We are whomever we decide to be … especially now that we are in the Aquarian Age. This is the age of mass awakening. ⚡️💡

This beautiful tui and I sharing a special moment. I found her sitting on my drive and she was so fearless, allowing me to pick her up. Can you sense the sovereignty emanating from her? She knows exactly who she is.

I met her as I made my way up to the garden to create a new compost heap to nourish the land. A coincidence? Or a 🙏🏻🌏.

Magical moments with nature that subtly change us forever. 💚

Native trees 🌳 looking for their forever home ..

Many of you know I have a native plant nursery. It manifested during the first lock down when with time on my hands, I looked around at all the native tree seedlings growing in the bush at home. The awareness had me travel back to my childhood where I spent untold hours helping my beloved grandmother in her plant nursery. She supplied all kinds of plants to the local garden centres.

The species I have are perfect for restorative planting on inland Taranaki lifestyle and farm blocks to support the land and bring in the 🦜and 🐝. Many of the species are medicinal for we humans too 🥰 Always happy to share my knowledge on that one 😘if you literally want phyto-medicines in your own backyard. Nature’s medicine is the way of the future ✨ as we continue to reduce our use of synthetic chemicals - insecticides, pesticides, pharmaceuticals and the like.

Viewing is possible most days, Upper Mangorei Rd, New Plymouth and by appointment only (to work in with my commitments in the clinic). $5-$9 depending on species.

The species ready to go are - manuka, karamu, kanono, miro, koromiko, toro, kawakawa, putaputaweta/marbleleaf, hoheria, rewarewa/honeysuckle and totara.

Species coming on in the next months include - hinau, wineberry, kanuka, titoki, red matipo, akeake, rangiora, kowhai, mahoe, pigeonwood and kohekohe.

DM me if you want more info or to arrange a time to view. 🏔👩🏽‍🌾🐕

When there is a diverse and balanced array of beneficial organisms living in our gut (as is our blueprint), we can enjoy a diverse and well balanced array of foods. The prevalence of restricted diets these days - low carb, high protein, FODMAP, wheat free, dairy free, etc indicates that our gut has become a closed-down version of itself. While these restrictions can be useful short term whilst actively correcting dysbiosis, they aren’t useful as a long term strategy unless we have a life threatening food allergy.

We are evolutionary creatures. Our body, mind and soul are divinely programmed to become more-than with each unfolding year and therefore shutting ourself off from the natural environment including whole foods has real negative consequences. Chronic disease and the state of our immune system begins and ends in the gut. A healthy gut creates all kinds of safety checks and balances in regards to all the bugs ‘out there’ in the world. Our gastrointestinal system (GI) is the only system we have that is directly connected to the environment around us (our mouth and bottom being the gateways). If we want to interface with the environment in an empowering way including with all the bacteria, viruses, fungi, pollens etc, our GI health and a diet rich in plants is crucial.

I just whipped around my garden to pick these edible flowers. Other than looking cute-to-boot on a salad or pizza, the colours indicate plenty of immune boosting phyto-chemicals. Plus, did you know that every plant (and flower) comes with its own community of life enhancing microorganisms? Eating plants is another way to broaden our own. 😘🙏🏻🌼🌿🌳

📸 Flowers: calendula, heartsease, onion w**d, broccoli, violet, dandelion, comfrey.

I choose to walk solo in the mountains most of the time so that I can clearly hear what the mountain has to say. It’s a form of meditation and communion and I arrived home yesterday with insight, confirmations and a few elbow nudges.

The natural world speaks to our natural self. Are you listening? What is it saying to you?

It was a scheduled day for the nursery today … but the plants said go for it … so I did!

Heading up Holly Hut Track.

Mountain magic 🙏🏻😍

It’s double points for all things ‘healing’ at the moment - the Sun has moved into Virgo. 💚 Virgo connects us to the healer archetype and with the sun shining the light on all things healing - especially gut health, infections and general health and fitness - we’ve an opportunity at hand! Healing efforts and modalities will be more impacting than usual. 🙌 In a few days time the New Moon will also be in Virgo, which will help us to connect with the less obvious aspects of our health that need attention, including subconscious behaviours that prevent us from achieving a higher level of health. The ☀️and 🌑 working together to assist our healing. It’s a divine set up to help us succeed! 🌈

Wild cherry - Prunus serotina - is a herb that supports, amongst other things, the completion of chest infections. Have a dry lingering cough that feels depleting? Think wild cherry especially if you sense there’s not enough fuel in the immunity-tank to get the job done.

Our best life comes from harnessing the universal rhythms and it’s all about virgo and the healer right now. Happy birthday to all the virgos out there! 🎂🥳

What we do or don’t do to support our physical self this month will impact our potentials next astrological month … that of libra and relationships. 💒 Libra follows virgo for good reason.

Lean in folks! 😍✨

One minute I was minding my own business at home, and the next I found myself trotting along the path en route to the Tarns. The misty magic semi-cleared for several minutes, just long enough to see a ghost-like Taranaki standing proud.

According to astrological lore, mountains connect us to our inner organiser and manager, and therefore our ability to take practical steps to achieve a goal. Like a mountaineer climbing steep terrain - it typically takes one firm footstep at a time to achieve the view, and the sweat and tears are totally worth it!

The planet Saturn connects us to this mountain energy and Saturn is currently in retrograde. This means Saturn is moving very slowly - seemingly moving backwards. We could apply the phrase ‘two steps forward and one step back’ as an analogy here. The back foot is designed to be beneficial - it’s simply a matter of knowing how to push off from it. The retrograde motion of Saturn asks us to lean in to the slowed down pace to determine if we’ve missed anything in our process to achieving our goal. If we haven’t missed anything, the retrograde dynamic will feel like a well earned breather. If on the other hand there’s an extra step we need to take - and that step may simply be ‘slowing down’ - the slow motion will either feel empowering if we’ve had an awareness shift and are now about to action it - or it will feel restrictive/frustrating if we’re oblivious to what’s missing. If you find yourself in the later version - be open minded as to the what or how.

Saturn is in the slowed-down version of itself for another two months and it is absolutely to your benefit to lean it.

Keywords to keep in mind for the next few months are: practical, realistic, structure, foundations, hard work, mountain goat, limitations, authority, conservative, right/wrong track, responsibility, stability, step by step, aspirations and legs/knees. These can apply to any area of your life.

Here to lend a hand if you need. 🫴🏼👂🌸🌿

It’s ok to take time out … in fact it’s more than ok - it’s an essential part of our human being-ness. It might be a physical time-out we need to do - or equally an emotional or mental time out. It can be tiring being over-emotional. It can be draining having to listen to others opinions or to have or defend our own.

It can be easier to time-out when an authority figure gives us permission to do so, but the thing is, we’re learning how to self-govern now as part of an evolutionary impulse to learn and grow. The last few years hasn’t been about a corona virus per se - it’s been about a jolly good rethink and refeel in regards to the direction we are heading as individuals and as a species. We are not to go back to how we were pre-Covid. We are to go forward. Onwards and upwards as the saying goes!! We are discerning what has value now and are likely to be saying Yes to some of the things we used to say No to - and saying No to some of the things we used to say Yes to. Talk about changing it up! 🙃🙂⚡️

Time-out from doing, thinking or emoting. All a natural part of raising our health and well-being.
No apology required. 💚
