You were always beautiful, strong, worthy and wonderful… you just needed to have new eyes. A new perspective. #energyworks #thrive #love #growth #youareenough #iam

Today I was reminded of mental detoxing. As I sweated out the last 3 months of toxins from my physical body in a Hot Yoga class with Free Spirit Wellness I thought about all the mental and emotional stories we also carry in our bodies and thus cells.

We are born with inherited stories, this much we now know, and then through the dynamic of being raised by society, school, parents and such - who are all just doing their best - we have our own traumas which we shrug off and think little of as we 'just get on with it'.

Where do you go to, or how do you detox from the unhealthy thinking patterns, past memory ruminations and fear projections? After a bender = Essentiale or the likes... a run or yoga? But we don't have the same practices around mental detox.

I am encouraging you to explore mental and emotional detoxing; through active awareness around what you are thinking and how it makes you feel in you body. Tight, irritated, angry, sad, frustrated, or are you fully detached already.

Almost like another version of you voyeuristically watching yourself go through your day. Then do an audit. What are you recreating that is similar to your parents dynamic, or a continued cycle of relationship stress dynamics. See what it is you are thinking and feeling - detox and find a better thought and a healthier feeling - Try creativity or gratitude, or even start your day differently. BUT change requires detoxing old stuff first!

Clear 'home/body' clear heart.

I used to be highly allergic to horses, then one day I was asked to Clear a stable’s energy! I was freaking out! How was this going to be possible. I showed up, terrified, dreading it and was told by my guardian angel ‘It will be fine.’ Naturally I argued, with obviously good strong points and legitimate reasons why I was not the one for the job. ‘It was fine!’ I had absolutely no reaction AT ALL and not only that but I went on to work on 14 horses in their stables that same day. The shock was so profound I had to discard everything I knew about allergies and horses! Since that day I have had the privilege of working with hundreds of horses in Distance, as far afield as Germany and in person. It remains one of my greatest gifts. As a young girl I felt weird, odd and strangely connected to everything. Time worked differently in my ‘world’ and so did … I. Eventually at 37 I started to realise that I wasn’t cursed, I was blessed, in the most profound way. This ability to feel, read and influence energy, to literally feel what another being was ‘feeling’, their emotions and get their ‘pictures’ has rendered me speechless (those that know me will understand how amazing that is in itself!) and humbled me. I am not a horse whisperer, I am a listener, a channel, a communicator, a servant, a healing facilitator. When I work with an animal I know what is needing healing in the owner/rider too! They are like mirrors for our issues. Life’s greatest gifts might lie in an experience that looks nothing like fun! Lean into it!

It is almost 2025 and these sentiments still stand! Know thy self is a dare: Sapere Aude… It is an Adventure!

Not always easy or perfect but def worth every minute!

Every time I feel small I say to myself… just try… go! With an open heart and an open mind may you adventure the heck out of the rest of 2024 and get out a map for 2025!

We slip so easily back into our habitual living, decisions, ways, reactions and choices. It feels less like hard work to live from this space, from the familiar- what you know and predict. Yet it is this very safety and security of knowing that recreates the same life over and over again. Be intentional. Be brave enough to stop and actively do something that scares you, perhaps cause you don’t know what will happen, or how the other person will respond. Say no if you always say yes and feel hollow afterwards. Go out if you always stay in. Learn something so challenging it totally breaks your barriers down and you discover something new about YOU. Live intentionally. Make different choices. Learn. Grow. Get out your way! #life #live #love #brave #challenge #connect #food #breath

An iconic being stirring within one the need to be completely vulnerable, open, cry and rejoice. Dolly sang with me many a night in the dark while I worked through life’s big and small knocks. She rocked my world and I am never ashamed to sing with her at the top of my voice - even when it cracks with the deep feelings her words and voice wring out of my soul! I will always love you!

When I started my journey into self discovery in the pursuit of falling pregnant so many years ago I never realised I was even traumatised. Unconscious of our own behaviours from triggers creates more trauma and Endless anger or depression, fatigue, lack of motivation, blame and shame. Your body is in cycles of fight or flight and it causes havoc! Just do it… got have a look inside and clear out all the boxes of kak you no longer need messing with your life, body, mind and soul!
