HONEY, I'M HOME!!

After a few weeks of renting my home out with Air BnB, I am sitting in all the feels...
Exhaustion
Gratitude
Self compassion
And a bit of pride.

Gratitude for many things, and people ...
To Rhiana then Chris ...
for opening their homes to me in exchange for a few meals and some 'home help';
To my rentees...
Women i don't know, but trusted with my home which they kept perfectly. So much so, that I could move straight back in without lifting a finger other than to turn on the washing machine;
To my friends ...
who walked, drove or scooted past daily and sent me frequent 'looks good' messages;
And to Elizabeth Ann Walker ...
with whom I manifested this home, whilst on a retreat in 2018. She was the first woman who taught me to listen and trust myself fully and unashamedly ... such a profound gift.

Exhaustion from teaching so many wonderful yogis at Ebb and Flow Wellness Studio over the past week...
Such positive, happy, generous, warm beautiful folk who made my many classes so enjoyable.

A bit of self compassion for all of these emotions, and a bit of pride for this gorgeous place which Bilbo and I call home.

Blessings to you all, and 'I'll see ya at the beach' very soon.

My yoga class theme today ... 'comparison is the thief of joy'.

What does that mean to you, both on the mat, and off?

To move with ease and grace to your own body's rhythm ...
To invite compassionate self enquiry ...
To cultivate your inner spaciousness, strength, curiosity and acceptance ...

And

To love yourself completely and unequivocally.

Perhaps with the added manta of "I am enough as I am".

Blessings 💛💫🕯

AHHH, the moments, like a sigh, between
one year’s end and the next beginning....

We think it’s about ushering in something new:
A clean slate ~
A blank page ~
A chance to reset and begin again.

…And yet,
Wisdom carries a different song,
a deeper tune.

In the lull that follows the clink of champagne glasses, and
in the smoke that drifts after each bright firework bloom…

Take time
To set the salt,
to root our learning.
To mull over this past year ~
in all its ups and downs,
its successes and failures,
its unique, fleeting moments.

To let the sacred lessons
sink in, like water into thirsty ground.
Earth tilled, prepared, seeded;
and brought to harvest~
Our own garden bed.

May we nourish it all now
with gentle questions:

What might we have changed?
Kept the same?
Made better?
Cut away…
to be left behind.

May this past year make us wiser,
deeper, richer in life.

And as this new year arrives
with its own potentials and promises,
take this ~
and every other precious year along with you for the ride.

We made it, my friends;
and may the deepening
only make the fruits and blossoms
of this new year brighter💛

Milestones ...
6 months post treatment
15 months post diagnosis

At times I wonder, with a slight irreverence, WTF was that all about ..

And as I sit in reflection...

I find, with ease, grace and reverance, the gratitude, the ability to sit in the moment, to find calm in any storm, and peace in any situation.

Yes, the experience has changed me ...

I don't fit well into social situations,
I question more than many
And reflect more than most.

I live harder, love fuller, but with more discernment.

I hold my friends and family close, and can easily let less important relationships drift.

I see life on a different plane now, more like an eagle flying above life, rather than beavering away in it.

Some things remain constant, however ..
Gratitude for every experience;
Love of all beings;
Faith in a higher power, and in my own intuitive healing power..

And an appreciation of the sanctity of my life.

Bless 💛🌟💫

And so it ends ...

An amazing 2 weeks travelling 3 states and 1 territory in Southern India with # seeing sights and experiencing culture in the purest state possible whilest staying safe.

And then, the most wonderful 2 weeks immersing myself in all things Ayerveda ... treatments, tutorials, cooking classes, delicious food, and constant medical monitoring and the most caring therapists in an immaculately clean environment ... all designed to nourish and heal and balance my body gently and naturally back to health.

Heartfelt thanks to Durgama Ayurveda and The Health Village for the most caring, kind experience.

Abundance and blessings to every one ofyou.

If you have ever wondered ...

Yes, a sari is supremely comfortable and adjusts easily for pregnancy or body changes.

It is draped to allow breathability, movement, and modesty, and it is cool.

More formal draping and fabrics may be less comfortable.

A fitted blouse is warn underneath, but they were too small for my b***s!

The sari requires smaller steps, and almost kicking the pleats to move forward .. if you step on the pleats, the whole garment unravels ( thank goodness for safety pins!!)

Thanks Esther for your generosity.

Such fun !!

Returning to India has reignited so much in me.

Clearly, my love of travel, and especially this country.
Her people, the colour, the music, the antiquity, the noise, and the peace by her rivers.

What is more important to me after last year, is my coming back to herbs, to spices as natural flavour enhancers, to natural food, prepared consciously, and to a deeper understanding of Ayervedic medicine, which aligns partly but well with my background in Western natural healing methods.

There are correlations, and vast differences, however one thing is clear to me ..

How easily and beautifully my body responds to pure food, natural medicine, intentional body treatments, and the tranquillity of this Health Village.

I knew this jouney was right for me with every ounce of my being,
Just as I know it this will become a regular non-negotiable in my calendar.

My heartfelt thanks to and ..
Another week to go

MYSORE (Mysuru): Palaces and incense

My, I loved this city.!!!

Following 14 hrs on the sleeper train it was great to freshen up and get into it.

With a few others, I explored the markets and the town on day 1, landing in on a theatre company who brought us backstage to watch the set-up.
Despite the unfamiliarity of the language, and very basic equipment ( and curious attempts at safety) that old rush of nerves and heart swelling when stepping on stage under the lights was the same.

Over dinner, we met 8 very funny men from Perth, who were motorbiking around the south. Hilarious tales and lots of laughter made for a great night.

Mysore is known as 'the city of the palaces', so the next day we headed for the 'main' Palace via TukTuk .... ohhh man, was this a highlight??!!
As with so many others, the Palace's history contains many episodes of destruction and rebuilding starting in the 14thC, with the current structure complete in 1912.

Ornate, Gold, towering pillars and beautiful cool rooms.
It is said to be cursed for >400 years, by a woman who committed su***de in preference to capture, cursing the royal family and it's descendants

And lastly, to complete my joy, we went to a certified, organic, essential oil and incense maker.
The fragrances were superb, and well-priced.
I made my first incense stick!

PS if you love incense, check where it was made. If it's pure, quite possible it's made in Mysore.
