My coaching practice is built on more than offering you strategies or solutions. I’ve created it as a space for you to feel truly seen, held, and supported. It is the most important gift I can give to you. No one arrives wanting to find a better relationship, or reconnect with who they are, without it requiring a deep journey into the roots of themselves and their challenges. I simply do not offer behavioural change as a stand-alone outcome, and I don’t believe lasting change can occur without an approach that cares for the whole person. We focus on…
This morning, I issued an invitation to the universe, for it to come find me where I am. I am not lost, I am simply here. I have known for a while that my biggest need, right now, is to remain in the present moment. It’s a need to hold a deep awareness, a genuine appreciation, for what is happening within my inner space, now. It has meant removing myself from social media, declining any distractions that come masquerading as entertainment, being clearer with boundaries. What I did today, during my meditation, was acknowledge my need to remove all…
Dragonflies appeared in my meditation this month, a symbol of transformation. The message is that transformation is available at every turn, every juncture in your life. If you spend your days waiting for tiny gifts, small mercies or offerings to appease a doubtful or broken soul, nothing bigger will fit onto the stage you have set. Don’t look to change, look to transform. Don’t look to grow, look to break through. Don’t look to survive, look to live. To live in the most glorious and unimaginable way possible. Because you have probably imagined it, at least once in your life.
One thing this month. One thing. If there is one thing you must do, failing all else and without negotiation or exception, what is it? What is it you choose to improve, to fix, clear, make or be? One thing. What requires your commitment through beginning, middle and end – requires embedding or finessing? Don’t play small. Don’t pick something that will slightly improve your life. Play big. Big change is born from subtle moves, too. It’s day one. Decide. Tell a single person. Tell me. Follow through.
This year, take the radical step of identifying the people in your life who are problem-heavy. People for whom most exchanges with you present as an opportunity to discuss problems they have no real intention of fixing. People who cannot see you clearly through their own looping story of self-pity. Stand strong in the knowledge that the problems you have are being worked on, and shared with a select few for whom the exchange of growth and recognition is mutual. Take less comfort in company that allows you to stay hidden. Company so self-indulgent that it asks you no questions,…
For some of us, the ability to tune into our auras or consciously use our intuition is a natural part of life. We’re more sensitive to the energy and intentions moving in and out of our field, more aware of what jars with us in any given moment. Occasionally, this gift is born through trauma, the legacy of one’s survival being dependent on hyper alertness. Other times, our intuition and auric sensitivity is something we have proactively honed, taking the time to rediscover latent and powerful talents. Developing the connection you have to your space will mean different results for…
Muse on the elements and what they mean to you. Then go wider… expand. The world would have you focus on water, fire, earth, air. But what love have you shared with the minerals? The stones, rocks, pebbles – the ones at your feet daily? They may not have the shine or glint of crystals, may not have the expensive price tag or cult following, but they are the memory, the bones of the earth. When you feel called to ground, look to the ground. When you’re in need of remembrance, reach to them for guidance. In times to forget,…
You have been asked to birth greatness and your first response, is to cry out for another. Another person, another woman, another soul. You have been called to birth brilliance and so you search for a wise feminine; a she sublime, a she capable, a she strong enough to bear the weight of power surging within you. You look around for the doula, creativity dammed at your roots, eager to flow through the vessel of one fit to withstand its force. You search for the doula, until the message comes, loud, in your quietness, No more humans. No more humans. No more other. Only us. Until…
Within our society there is a prevailing belief system that some of us follow with near-religious commitment. It’s the belief that positivity is fundamental to emotional stability, that with a positive mental attitude we can overcome, or at very least numb ourselves to, a majority of life’s challenges. When misfortune materialises – a relationship ended, a job lost, an illness discovered – the go-to response toward another person is a mix of empathy and sympathy. We clearly connect with the wider landscape of what emotional or physical loss means, its impact on one’s life and the difficult prospects involved in…
This month’s oracle reading has animals all over it. Birds, snakes, deer, wolves, you name it. In the midst of all the death nature displays at this time of year, is the communication between the animals that are dreaming and the ones that are awake; the ones that are alive and the ones that are being re-birthed and transformed. In the same way that we dream to commune with parts of ourselves, our departed ones, our alternative timelines, the animals too talk. Those that have chosen to rest, to hibernate, to stay out of sight – they are communing with…
There comes a time on your journey when you have to switch from being ‘the one who is healing’ to ‘the one who is healed’. There is a moment, when regardless of your physical or emotional health, you have to eat, walk, dance, love, as though all former setbacks have completed their lessons, have spent their karma. Everything you do must be to honour the whole you who has won the trial, is freed from remand, is living as one who wishes never to go back. The path toward healing can be treacherous. It is long, winding,…
Rest, is nourishment. It is not checking emails, messages, or sitting quietly to ponder, the 50 things to do later. They aren’t urgent, anyway. Once the fear is removed, the panic, the ‘what ifs’, all that is left is choice, to do the thing now, or later. Rest, is the master of later. Rest, is eating food that the body, not the mind, craves. It is the herbal infusion that communes, with your needs, on a cellular level. It is the slumber that breathes softly, mistaken, sometimes, for a lover. Rest, sinks far from all surfaces, cannot feel the frantic…
