I am an Emotional Creature...

Today I am feeling fragile. Emotional. I have been doing some deeeeep digging inside and so now, I am trying to be kind to myself. Not be greedy with my body and take more than it is able to give me. And instead of making excuses for this state of mind or "snapping" myself out of it as the old me would have done, I am going to honour it by posting this earthshatteringly awesome song by Boe Huntress with lyrics that are actually a poem written by Eve Ensler (author of the Vagina Monologues). I have already adopted it as my theme for my women's circles and play it at the end of each meetup in order to remind ourselves just how perfectly brilliant we are. So for anyone that is not feeling the love at being a girl right now, this is for you. I AM AN EMOTIONAL CREATURE. Are you??

Busking poetry

Late last year I took part in a four week course on the magic of holding circles. It allowed me to hone my intuitive skills and learn more about the art of holding space as well as pushing me to delve yet deeper into what my unique circle medicine really is. It gave me the confidence to run my own local, fortnightly women's circles and I feel comforted and energised by the fact that I am not alone. Indeed I am part of a growing global sisterhood of women who have all felt the call to lead circles either in their neighbourhoods or online with the desire to help people to connect to their authentic selves and dedicate time to listening to their inner voices. To feel, to release. To stop the glorification of BUSY!

One of these sisters recently went to a word and music event in Dublin, Ireland and came across this 'busking poet'. The way it works is that the poet asks you for a topic, who it's for and then writes away. She asked him to write a poem for us.

That someone can channel this kind of magic on the spot and create such an incredible piece of art in exchange for a donation and call it busking blows me away. It gave me goosebumps reading it. I had to share. What a gift!

My Word Goddess Reading

Finding time to rest and reconnect over the busy Xmas period can seem like an impossible task. With overindulgence in terms of food and alcohol the buzzword at this time of year as well as being assaulted by all sorts of means to distract ourselves from our inner harmony including television and unnecessary consumerism, it can be hard to transition consciously through this end-of-year period of introspection to fully embrace the possibilities brought by a new year. If you would like a tool to help you on your way, I would like to recommend a My Word Goddess Reading from Amy Palko. She will source the goddess for you who will be there to guide and support you, prompt you and highlight exactly which parts of you are ready for healing and transformation. I just received my reading today and it feels so right. I am excited to be starting the new year hand in hand with this goddess and my word for the year has already got me thinking about the new possibilities the year will bring on a deeper, more intuitive level. I for one intend to make next year the most intuitive, magical, balanced one yet. Here's to your magical 2016!

Happiness is...

This is one of my favourite images. Why? Well, quite simply, because it makes me smile. Every single time I look at it. It can't fail to. Because I was there when the image was created. Right there in my back garden, minding my own business. It was one of those glorious, sunny, cloudless days - you can feel the heat just by looking at that blue, can't you - and somewhere up above someone was taking a plane out for a spin. It seemed pretty close so I looked up and to my amazement this wasn't any old spin - the pilot had drawn a heart!

And then they added a kiss either side! And then they drew a smiley face! It was one of the coolest things I've ever seen. I often wonder whether it was for anyone in particular or whether they were just out having a ball making whoever looked up before the cloud sketch dispersed in the wind, smile in appreciation. The fact that it was ephemeral makes it even more beautiful I think. They certainly made my day. And now their hard work is my logo. Now I bet that would make them smile....

The joys of meditation...

Inhaling, I remember to just be. Exhaling I let go of doing. Inhaling I prepare to receive. Exhaling I loosen the grip of my mind. Inhaling I surrender to being held. Exhaling I release the desire to prove myself. Inhaling I reaquaint myself with the peace at the core of my being. Exhaling I let go of my masculine drive. Inhaling I ground myself and become feminine flow.... This was the essence of my meditation this morning. I have not meditated for months and months. And months. Geez it felt good. Note to self: remember to slow the f%^k down. Lie Down. Breathe. Receive. Be.
