I had planned to go to the shop today but the weather had other ideas as it's been a hot one today. Instead we walked some of the Thames path, on the less popular North side normally home to the City workers during the week. One of the joys of living in London is that… Continue reading Explore your world
The start of Week 3 in the shop. I've already developed my own routine or rather ritual before opening. A large part of my vision was having a safe space for people to express themselves and that means safe in a number of different ways including my own energy. We all have our "stuff" whizzing… Continue reading A new kind of Discipline
I've been quite tired today which is no surprise given the pace I've been working at the last few weeks. This is what you might call "normal" tired. That is, normal people of a usual healthy disposition (whoever they are) would also feel a bit weary with this level of extertion so this is something… Continue reading Retail therapy
It was the shop's day off today but not mine. Because today the shop got a bit of TLC ready for the week ahead. I love caring for the space. Keeping it fresh and clean, using my Tibetan Chimes to cleanse the crystals, making sure those soft tingles and warm whispers are still evident. I've… Continue reading Shop-care
I had a boogie last night. Doesn't sound particularly postworthy but for me it's what a dear friend and amazing coach calls a "shining goal". Dancing has always played a huge role in my life as a symbol of both freedom and merging. Not that I am particularly accomplished, or trained, just, erm...enthusiastic. Starting on… Continue reading The Gratitude Dance
The end of the first week in our new space at Queens Parade. Finally I get to write a blog post actually in the shop at my new desk. It's been quiet today but still have connected with some incredible people not just interested in what we do but interested in getting involved. I've used… Continue reading Venusian Day
Festwich Day 2. Watching The Killerz' (with a z you see) rendition of Indie Rock n Roll. Not too bad actually. The lead singer has the theatrics of Brandon Flowers with a voice that would be at home in a David Bowie cover band. Also enjoying the usual festival experience of drinking not cheap red… Continue reading Silver linings
Well our holiday is over and today has been non-stop. I am so grateful for one of my dear friends pointing out that during this flurry of activity it is important to remember self-care so after I post this I am going to spend a nice chunk of time meditating and connecting with those grounding… Continue reading Do what you love
I am getting a headstart on my blog post this morning as we are about to head out and spend the day in Hamburg. My contender for the most chilled out city on the planet. I meditated this morning with a free meditation challenge from Deepak Chopra and Oprah Winfrey called "Manifesting Grace" where Deepak… Continue reading Natural Grace
Today was all about self-care and repair. One of the healing techniques I work with is known as the Sacred Violet Flame of St Germain. St Germain is considered an Ascended Master and benevolent higher dimensional guide, and keeping of the Sacred Violet Flame. Working with the Violet Flame is particularly effective when we… Continue reading Sacred Violet Care
