Lesson 2622

FML.

I was on retreat.
Seventeen women.
Connection, laughter, everything we had all been looking forward to.

And then my body said, absolutely not.

Rash.
Headache.
Fever.
A sore throat that feels like glass.
A rash that actually hurts.

Next thing I know, Matt is driving to come get me.
Packing up early.
Leaving everything behind.

And now…

I’ve been in hospital, in isolation, since Sunday.

Waiting.
Testing.
Wondering if it’s measles. Wondering if it's Dengue Fever.
Knowing that seventeen women are now probably worried because of me.

That part sits heavy.

No teaching.
No yoga.
No Hypnotherapy.

Just… nothing.

A full stop I didn’t choose.

There’s something confronting about being forced to stop like this.
Not a gentle nudge.
Not a “maybe take a rest.”

A full body shutdown that pulls you completely out of your life.

And honestly…

FML.

But also…

There’s nowhere to run in moments like this.
No pushing through.
No pretending you’re fine.

Just you.
Your body.
And the reality of what is.

Not the polished version.
Not the “I’ve got this” version.

The real one.

The uncomfortable one.

The one that asks you to surrender when you really don’t want to.

Lesson 2621 A lesson from some buttons!

This tiny button slowed me right down.

Eleven of them. Each loop small, tight, and just a little bit stubborn.

It took me 25 minutes to do them all up.

At first, I rushed. Then I got frustrated. Then I swore.

Because something so small shouldn’t be this hard… right?

But then I paused. I took a breath. And I began again, slower this time.

One button. Then the next.

And somewhere in that process, the lesson softened its way in.

Not everything is meant to be rushed. Not everything will meet you at your pace.

Some things ask you to slow down. To feel your way through. To stay… even when it’s fiddly, even when it’s frustrating.

Right now, life keeps offering me the same lesson. Patience.

Not the kind you force. The kind you practice. The kind that asks you to breathe, soften, and keep going anyway.

One small button at a time.

Lesson 2619 Sometimes life doesn’t gently redirect you… it completely rearranges your plans.

Today I got my MRI results.

The pop we heard wasn’t nothing… it’s a partial tear of my ACL.
Yes, the same knee I had reconstructed back in 2007.

And just like that, everything shifts.
No teaching for now.
No yoga practice the way I know and love it.

A pause I didn’t plan for.

A slowing down I didn’t choose.

There are still a lot of unknowns.

I see the specialist on 23/4 and there are options ahead… but right now it’s about adjusting, softening, and letting go of what I thought the next few weeks would look like.

And maybe this is the deeper work.
Not the poses.
Not the movement.
But the surrender.

The moment where control slips… and you’re invited to trust anyway.

As a hypnotherapist, I often speak about the power of the mind in shaping our experience… and here I am, gently reminding myself of the same.

That even when plans fall apart, we get to choose how we meet what’s in front of us.
With resistance… or with acceptance.

With frustration… or with curiosity.

Right now, I’m choosing to soften into it.

So deeply grateful for my incredible team who have stepped up without hesitation to hold the space, to cover classes, to support not just the studio, but me.

Lesson 2618 Presence and Memories.

It’s beautiful that we live in a world where we can create so many memories with our phones.

There’s something almost magical about it.
A moment happens… and instead of disappearing into time, it can be held. Saved. Revisited. Felt again.

We live in a time where memories don’t just fade into the background.
They stay with us.

In photos, in videos, in random voice notes, in little snippets that at the time feel ordinary… but later become everything.

A phone has become like a pocket memory.
A quiet little witness to our lives.
Proof that it happened.
What you felt.
Where you were.
Who you were with.

And there is something so beautiful about that.

The ability to look back and remember.
To see the smile.
To hear the laughter.
To revisit a version of yourself that existed in that exact moment.

But the most powerful part isn’t the saving…
it’s the noticing.

It’s the pause that happens before you reach for your phone.

That gentle whisper within you that says,
wait… this matters.

That awareness, that presence, that connection to the moment,
that is where the real magic lives.

Because no photo can ever fully capture the experience.

It can show you what it looked like,
but not how the air felt on your skin,
not the warmth in your chest,
not the way your heart softened or expanded or broke open.

The deepest memories don’t live in your camera roll.

They live in your body.
In your nervous system.
In the quiet spaces within you.

And this is something we can bring into our practice, into our lives, into our healing.
To notice more.
To feel more.
To be so present that sometimes we forget to capture it.

Because we are too busy living it.

Maybe the balance isn’t choosing one or the other.

Maybe it’s both.
Capturing some moments,
and allowing others to simply be lived.

Unfiltered.
Unrecorded.
Unrepeatable.

Just yours.

Lesson 2617 lord of the rings.

Yesterday we slowed right down.

Sat side by side with a silversmith, hands steady, minds focused, learning something completely new. What looks so simple, so effortless when you see it finished, is anything but.

Every detail mattered.
Every movement had intention.
Every tiny adjustment took time, patience, and care.

We shaped, filed, softened, polished.
Again and again.

What we created were two beautiful rings, but what we experienced was something much deeper.

Respect.

Respect for the craft.
Respect for the time it takes to create something meaningful.
Respect for the people who dedicate their lives to mastering something so intricate.

It made me realise why pieces like this can be expensive.
Not because of the metal alone, but because of the hours, the skill, the energy, and the presence poured into every single piece.

In a world that moves fast, this was a reminder that some things cannot be rushed.
And maybe that is where their true value lies.

Just like us.

Thank you Erna for your beautiful video.

Thank you Arik for your guidance and patience.

Highly recommend if you are in Ubud.

Lesson 2617 Hathor.

I didn’t just choose Hathor.
She found me.

People ask me why Hathor…
Why this goddess, why this symbol, why now.

And the truth is, it feels less like a decision and more like a remembering.

Hathor is the goddess of love, joy, beauty, music, and feminine power.
But not the kind of power that pushes or proves.

The kind that softens.
The kind that receives.
The kind that allows.

For so long, I lived in the opposite of that.
Pushing.
Proving.
Numbing.
Escaping.

Disconnected from joy.
Disconnected from my body.
Disconnected from myself.

And over time, slowly, gently, I’ve been finding my way back.

Back to presence.
Back to feeling.
Back to joy without needing a reason.

Hathor represents that return.

She reminds me that healing doesn’t have to be hard.
That joy is not something we earn, it’s something we allow.
That there is strength in softness.

She is the part of me that laughs freely.
The part of me that dances.
The part of me that chooses connection over control.

Getting her wasn’t about the tattoo.

It was about anchoring a new way of being.
A quieter strength.
A softer life.
A deeper trust.

A remembering that I am allowed to feel good.
Without guilt.
Without needing to justify it.

And maybe that’s the real lesson.

You don’t have to keep living in survival mode.

You don’t have to keep proving your worth.

There is another way.

A softer way.
A more joyful way.
A way that feels like coming home.

Our last night in Ubud but not our last time.

A wonderful night at with beautiful friends who I would never had met if I was not getting tattoos.

Thank you for your beautiful smile and sharing your amazing gift as a tattoo artist.

I love you. You make me laugh in that deep, effortless way that feels like home.

And even though we’re seeing you again tomorrow, I’m already feeling the gratitude for it.

A 9pm flight awaits, but before that, there is still so much to see, to feel, to experience.

And another alcohol-free holiday.

So close to 12 months sober.

Me, not Matt.🤣😂

Lesson 2616 This is why I come to Bali.

People often ask me,
“Why Bali?”

And I used to feel like I needed a big answer.
Something profound, something impressive.
But the truth is, it’s simple.

I come here to remember.

To remember what it feels like to slow down.
To breathe a little deeper.
To soften the edges of a life that can sometimes feel so full.

I come here for…

Peace
Not the absence of noise, but the presence of calm within me.

Happiness
The quiet kind that isn’t loud or performative, just gently sitting in my chest.

Joy
In the smallest things, the ocean, the smiles, the colours, the connection.

Bali has a way of bringing me back to myself.
Stripping away the expectations, the rushing, the doing.

And in that space, I can hear myself again.
And maybe that’s the real reason I come.
Not to escape my life, but to return to it, more grounded, more present, more me.

Lesson 2615 Nyepi.

A day where everything pauses.
No flights, no traffic, no noise.
An entire island choosing stillness together.

And today, I get to be here for it.

There is something deeply humbling about being held in a collective silence.
Not forced, not empty, but intentional.
A quiet that feels alive.

No distractions to reach for.
No places to go.
Nowhere else to be.

Just this moment.

And in that space, I can feel what so often gets drowned out.

The gentle whispers of my own thoughts.
The rise and fall of my breath.
The parts of me that don’t need fixing, just listening to.

In hypnotherapy, we talk about the power of the subconscious mind.
How it speaks softly, how it guides, how it reveals what we are ready to see…
But only when we slow down enough to hear it.

Today feels like that.

A natural trance.
A permission slip to go inward.
To sit, to feel, to notice.

To let the silence fill me, rather than trying to fill the silence.

And maybe that’s the lesson.
Silence isn’t something to escape.
It’s something to return to.

Because within it, there is clarity.
There is truth.
There is peace.

Lesson 2614 Nusa Lembongan March 2026.

Our first week in Nusa Lembongan has been one of those weeks that feels both full and slow at the same time.

Days spent out on the water, snorkelling through clear blue where the ocean seems endless.

Watching giant manta glide past with such quiet grace, spotting turtles drifting gently through the reef, dolphins appearing in the distance, and schools of fish moving like living artwork beneath the surface.

Moments that remind you how incredible this world really is.

Evenings filled with incredible food, long conversations, and laughter shared with good friends. The kind of simple joy that comes from being present and having nowhere else you need to be.

We also spent some time exploring a beautiful resort here on the island, looking at the possibility of hosting an Alasana retreat in March 2027.

A place to breathe, to move, to reconnect.
Stay tuned.

And woven through it all, the quiet gift of time with Matt. Slowing down together, sharing new experiences, and remembering how important it is to pause and simply enjoy the life we have built.

Good friends.

Good times.

Beautiful memories being made.

Now off to Ubud.

Ps life and s**t still going on at home but dealing with it!

Alison.
