This month has been busy. Not that the month before was not, but this is a different kind of busy. An up in the air, juggling, planning, head-scratching busy. Because RSL Collective is changing. After over a year in Queens Parade, Willesden Green I have been blessed to connect with a number of complementary therapists… Continue reading Transformation
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…
That work work work was in full swing today: Pricing, sorting, sharing, enthusing, connecting, exchanging and practising. Not just me either, this was the buzz in the shop as people came and fully engaged with what there was to offer. At one point I looked over and smiled to see 3 ladies sitting on various… Continue reading Occupied
It's been a juggling day today. This is good. Reminds me of the Two of Pentacles in Tarot. In the Rider Waite deck he is a happy soul juggling two golden coins. Positively expressed it could be about multi-tasking, bringing things together and starting to create something new. For me its been about starting the… Continue reading Planning with Pentacles
22. Celebration time as Mercury resumes its direct motion. The last one wasn't exactly smooth sailing but this one has been pretty choppy. It's been reminiscent of the astrological square aspect. Various energies not relating or understanding each other, causing friction, but building, always building. Staying the course and working through the conflicts to find… Continue reading Mercurial
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
28. Another insight has bubbled up over the last few days courtesy of our friend Mercury. Something that has been sitting under the surface which I was half aware of but, again, had not really "received" It's around being public. Visible. And i mean VISIBLE! Something I had not fully appreciated on the start of… Continue reading Visible status
Today's resounding message from above was "Let it flow". Unsurprising for a space ruled by Neptune. The planet where boundaries are dissolved and there is no form is great for the type of work we do, however, when it comes to structure, it can be a challenge. So be like water, let it flow. A… Continue reading Collective insights
What a day. Busy, active, reflective, discursive and...expansive. I had a new helper in the shop today. A beautiful and unique quartz obelisk both snowy and clear. It's been snoozing away in our Specialist crystals collection and today it wanted to be out and shining. And shining it did. I meditated with this wonderful being,… Continue reading Beaming with Love
It's been another lovely day in the shop. After meditating this morning before opening I was drawn to "grid" the shop with rose quartz. Gridding is one of the great ways to work with crystals by placing them in different patterns around a space or around a person. It raises the vibration as well as… Continue reading The Cuddle Grid
