Good night. 🧘🏿‍♀️

A huge mihi to Keri Hawkins
One of our Kairongoā
Who has been magicking up this
Amazing Mawe tea blend for me

My intention is to help flush
My lymphatic system
Which since the Peri-Menopause
Ruahine Journey commenced years ago
I have arrived into 2026
With a slower than usual lymph system

It’s a culmination of age + stress
Inflammation happens when we have
High cortisol in the system
Which is a by product of heightened
Fight or flight being the way
We manage through hectic times
That our body reads as danger or crisis

Good temporarily
But never long term

The fabulous outcomes being ~
Ankles and knee lymphatics clearing
Less congestion in armpit area
Groin and collar bone area getting there

I swear by Wairākau Rongoā
As an easy self-care option
To reset and realign the inner systems

While I can make all of these myself
It is good practice
While we’re healing not to

I also choose to support others
Who are in this space to share their talents
Which are infused into these kinds of Rongoā

Ngā mihi ki ngā Kairongoā huri noa
I a Aotearoa nei
Who put so much of themselves
Into the Rongoā you receive

Its not just a medicinal ltea
Its a gift from the Ātua + through them
Infuse mauri, wairua & aroha
That becomes the pathway to wellness
Through important daily ritual

I feel blessed
I am humbled with immense gratitude

Whiti, Whiti,
Tau mai te mauri
Haumi e, Hui e, Tāiki e!!!

This isn't exactly an advert
For our neice + whanaunga
But quite frankly I love the message
And I love the stunning harmony
This Papa & Tamahine duo exude

What has really compelled me to share
Is the message in the waiata
*** “Whakapiki Ora'

It is exactly what I want to send our whanau
At the moment who are enduring great loss
I have been feeling heavy in my heart for the
Sadness and grief that is seemingly everywhere

To those who have lost loved ones
Me whakapiki te ora

To those who have been affected by the changing climate
- weather bombs, floods, devastation
Me whakapiki te ora

To those who just feel a sense of despair
Or overwhelm, hopelessness or fear at this time
Me whakapiki te ora

Listen to the resonance of these words
And the song - as it surely does,
Whakapiki toku wairua, toku oranga
###ooo

ŌHUA
1.2.26

On this radiant Ōhua moon what extraordinary possibilities are unfolding just beyond the threshold of your dreams?

Is the future path illuminated with clarity or are there opportunities to cultivate new growth?

Is there any resistance or impediments to achieving your aspirations?

Are you blocking or evading?

These are some of the pātai
I’ve been talking to people about
Over the past month

Beyond the deep ancestral healing
That we witness through the physical
And spiritual mahi people undertake

There is a need to slowly fill the void left
With lush, personal enrichment

Asking these kinds of questions
In the quietness of ones imagination is where
Possibility starts to permeate any gaps

Healing is multi faceted
It can come through these kinds of
Strategic conversations with ourselves

Calling our own Board meeting
Reviewing our own vision + priorities
Upgrading and renewing
As we move to our unique flow

Remember a door can be either
An opportunity to the new
Or the barrier to our dreams
Within you is the 🔑

Unlock it +
Realise your potential xx
