Each day in our little corner of the universe offers new surprising discoveries. And I am constantly amazed (and heartened) at how many people I am meeting that are on their own personal journey of discovery, be that through meditation, healing, creative pursuits and, a recurring theme, a willingness to share what they have discovered… Continue reading Feeling the Love (Again)
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 received a visit today from someone else who is following and manifesting her dream. Someone whom I met last week and had that instant "inner knowing" that I'd met her before. Also someone who has an incredible gift of healing and compassion through teaching the practice of Yoga, to children. What an amazing service… Continue reading Showtime
It's been that lovely kind of Moon in Virgo day today. We worked at the shop from midday to midnight yesterday sorting out the therapy room and making some changes to the shop. So today we treated ourselves to a lie in (self-care) before starting on a bunch of chores that had piled up since… Continue reading Virgo Rest Day
I am writing this from the cosiest spot in our therapy/meditation room after we spent the best part of the day working on it. I could possibly call this post "It's amazing what you can do with a few saris" because today my inner Blue Peter presenter (UK) erm Martha Stewart ? (US) has been… Continue reading Family ties
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
Another great day in the shop. Surprise visits and some amazing, and I mean A-mazing, new handmade creations to display ready to go to new homes. (More about those in a future post and our Facebook page!) I also connected with a lady whom I know is going to work in the healing field. Someone… Continue reading In Sync in NW2
The early hours of this morning, after a whole hour and a half sleep I woke up. Or was I woken up? It was 1:45am BST and although the world around me was quiet some "thing" wanting my attention. And as a dear friend of mine said today "being tuned in sometimes means the volume… Continue reading Jupiter calling
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
