New Year, new year's resolutions, and waiting until the New Year to make wide sweeping changes; our own cultural way of wiping the slate clean and starting over. The big outbreath of letting go of the old and embracing the new. Our chance to reinvent ourselves, to learn from our past experiences and try again.… Continue reading Resolute
This used to be a tough time for me too, especially with the emphasis on food and well meaning friends and family buying chocolatey treats. It's been a long road and knowing I was not alone was key to finding my way again. Our wonderful advice columnist Sally, in her second piece for us, offers… Continue reading Ask Sally: Surviving Christmas
After an incredible and lively party on Halloween, enjoyed by both people and energetic beings alike, we have focused on the themes of regeneration and renewal. Samhain, the pagan ritual from which we take most of our Halloween hullabaloo, denoted Summer's End and a time to honour the ancestors, reflect upon life and death and… Continue reading Wave Goodbye, Say Hello
So this is it. Day 365. Final post of Crystallising Dream. I thought I would have something profound to write, one of my more deep and meaningful posts but it appears I've gone word-shy again...How do I put how I feel into words? How do I sum up the last year? How do I possibly… Continue reading It’s here.
Today has felt like one of the "old days" as I am tired. Almost jet-lag like tired. Rather than push through my intuition told me to rest today today. For the shop day off to be my day off too. Well...ish. Rather than the old days where I've either been tired from HR work or… Continue reading Something old…
20. New Moon in Libra tonight. Our opportunity to set our intention to balance the scales. Fairness, harmony, negotiating deals and contracts, pleasing aesthetics, all of these are what Libra desires. It is also halfway through the march of the Zodiac where we have learnt all about ourselves and are ready to turn the view… Continue reading Harmony starts here
26 Another unexpected moment... I didn't expect that I would be sitting in a shop this time last year for sure. In a meditation room, certainly not. Holding a space for Pregnancy Yoga? Couldn't have begun to fathom that was possible. But that is what is happening right now. If ever I wanted to receive… Continue reading Pregnant pause
Not all messages are words. Nor are they pictures. Sometimes they are people. I had a session today with my coach where we got into an exploration of "self-chat" that, if we all confessed to each other, we all have. That second guessing, constantly evaluating and comparing, inner critic. Running a shop, through inner guidance… Continue reading Sustained
It's time, little warrior, to put down your arms and allow yourself to fall into the embrace of the Mother, her care and love, always there never ending or beginning. It's time, little warrior, to balance the scales and allow yourself to forgive all of your wars and broken toys, now divested of purpose It's… Continue reading Eclipsed
I am about to meditate, no doubt along with countless others, as today is the International Day of Peace. It is also the Equinox- equal day equal night. Balance. Equilibrium. And as the Sun transits into Libra Harmony. Whatever you are doing today find a moment, even the briefest flicker of a moment to radiate… Continue reading Possible future
