Walk barefoot on the Earth.

Breathe in the scent of the earth, the trees.

Feel the leaves under your feet; the coolness, the roughness. Feel it all.

See the colours. See how they make you smile.

Taste the dampness. The cool air on your tongue.

Hear the sound of your footsteps, the breeze through the branches, the animals.

Make your journey a walking meditation.

Come back to our beautiful planet and home to yourself ❤️

Crying is important. It's necessary.

Throughout our childhood we're told:

"don't cry"
"chin up"
"that's enough now"
"you're so sensitive"

But crying is a release. And if we don't cry, our emotions (which are essentially energy in motion) get stuck. Trauma cannot be processed or moved out of the body.

I have recently learnt that there are three types of tears:

💧Basal tears – Constantly produced to keep the eye moist and protected

💧Reflex tears – Triggered by irritants to flush out the eye

💧Emotional tears – Produced in response to feelings like sadness, joy, frustration, or physical pain

Now this is amazing...!

Emotional tears contain cortisol, the stress hormone - which means that when you cry you are automatically releasing stress in your body!

How incredible is that?!

So if you're feeling stressed, go watch a soppy film and have a good cry. There's a reason you feel better afterwards ❤️

I wasn't impulsive.

❄️ My nervous system was keeping me in a 'freeze' state to protect me. (This state is often associated with depression, dissociation, procrastination and shut down mode.)

I was so stuck that making decisions was so bloody hard and it was just easier to act impulsively to get stuff done!

If anyone feels this way, or has felt this way in the past, this is NORMAL - you're not broken ❤️

🧠 Your nervous system is keeping you safe, physically, emotionally and mentally. Science tells us that when we sense we're in danger - it might not be actual, physical danger - the brain shuts down in the rational, thinking part (not going to get too technical here!) and the emotional part, and it's essentially just trying to keep your body alive.

Thank goodness for the freeze state, it's exactly what we need our brain to do if we're in a life-threatening situation and just need to keep the heart beating, lungs breathing etc.

What we don't want is to be stuck in that state for a long period of time...

What can you do to safely and gradually move out of the freeze state?

1. Close your eyes or soften your gaze towards the earth
2. Relax your jaw
3. Breathe into your heart

It's so simple ❤️

Another chapter of my life begins!

This weekend, I started my journey as a Trauma Release Practitioner with and ❤️

I've got my new notebook; 🐍 the snake is here to guide me on my journey of shedding skin, letting go of old beliefs and an old life, revealing something sparkly and beautiful 🪷

I honestly don't think there's much more I can release from my physical and energetic bodies but I know that's just wishful thinking 😂

On my way home from the course, I drove through the most gorgeous sunset which turned the whole sky into a rainbow, I saw angel numbers on car number plates and the moon glowed bright orange as I approached my house - if they aren't signs from the Divine, I don't know what are 😍🙏🌈🌕

This time next year, I'll be fully qualified and helping others release stress and trauma so that they can reach their full potential and live a life full of joy and bliss ❤️

This course is full of science and magic, I can't wait to share it all with you! ✨✨

Learn to help yourself: nourish your body physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually through good food, movement, meditation, joyful time with loved ones, saying no when it's not a wholehearted yes, surrender into solitude, journal... Do these things for yourself and you will be looked after by something far greater ❤️

We all have our beliefs that we hold close to us. If you call yourself a healer, I won't take that away from you ❤️ I became too attached to titles like 'healer' 'master' and even 'teacher'. The deeper I go in my meditation practice, the more I drop the attachment to naming and pigeon-holing myself.

How about guide? Let me hold space and be your 'guide' as you heal yourself.

Just a reminder, you are powerful and can do anything.

Reiki Level 1
Saturday 13th April
10am-5pm
Marlow, Bucks.

Join me for the day and I'll teach you how to heal yourself ❤️
