Happy Chinese Lunar New Year – Year of the Fire Horse 🐎🔥

This is not quiet energy.
Fire Horse carries movement. Heat. Courage.

It does not tiptoe into the year. It arrives with hooves striking earth and sparks rising behind it.

Fire is life force.
Horse is freedom.
Together they ask one thing:
Are you ready to move?

Within Te Aho, the sacred thread, this energy is about remembering the original spark. The essence before survival mode wrapped layers around it.
This year invites wāhine to:
🔥 Act boldly where you have hesitated
One aligned action is more powerful than ten perfected plans.
🔥 Burn what is not yours to carry
Write it down. Release it. Let it go. Whakawātea.
🔥 Move your body daily
Shake. Walk. Stretch. Ride the wave of your own mauri instead of suppressing it.
🔥 Strengthen your boundaries
A Horse runs free, not fenced in by expectations that were never aligned.
🔥 Return to your Te Aho
Ask yourself: Where did my thread begin?
What felt true before I learned to shrink?

Fire Horse energy is passionate. Independent. Slightly untamed. It does not want you small. It wants you sovereign.

Embodied Action for Today:
Stand barefoot on the earth.
Place one hand on your belly, one on your heart.
Take 5 breaths.
Whisper: I reclaim my life force.
Then take one practical step toward the life you know is calling you.

May this Chinese Lunar New Year ignite courage in your bones, clarity in your choices, and warmth in your relationships.

Gong Xi Fa Cai 🧧
Run toward what is yours.

Our Te Aho workshop is tonight.

So many wāhine are walking through life carrying invisible layers.

Te Aho moves through these four themes slowly, intentionally, safely.

✨ Whakapapa
✨ Clearing
✨ Restoring
✨ Returning

No rushing.
No ripping open.
Each layer gently held.

If this speaks to something inside you, stay close.

Each layer gently held.

Te Aho
Sometimes it isn’t burnout.
It isn’t hormones.
It isn’t “being too much.”
Sometimes it is disconnection.

When wāhine live in survival mode, the body becomes a bunker.
The heart goes quiet.
The nervous system stays switched on, scanning for the next storm.

And somewhere in that constant vigilance…
the thread to self begins to fray.
Te Aho means the thread.
The sacred strand that connects you back to your breath.
Back to your whenua.
Back to the woman you were before the world told you who to be.

Reweaving is not loud.
It is gentle.
It happens in small moments where your shoulders soften.

Where your body says, “I am safe enough to feel.”
You do not need to become someone new.
You are remembering the woman who was never gone.

🌿 If something in you feels tired of carrying it all alone, this work is for you.

THE NEED FOR REWEAVING

Somewhere along the way, many of us learned how to survive.

We learned how to be strong.
How to hold it together.
How to keep moving even when our bodies whispered “enough.”

Survival mode is clever.
It keeps the lights on.
But it slowly unthreads us from ourselves.

We become efficient… but not embodied.
Productive… but not present.
Needed by everyone… but known by no one.

And the disconnection feels subtle at first.
Numbness.
Irritability.
Exhaustion that sleep doesn’t fix.

This is what happens when the thread between mind, body, and wairua thins.

Te Aho is the work of reweaving. Of feeling again. Of remembering who you were before you had to brace yourself against the world.

✨ A small action today:
Place one hand on your chest, one on your belly.
Close your eyes.
Ask quietly, “Where have I left myself?”
Notice what rises. No fixing. Just noticing.

Reweaving begins with awareness.

Te Aho is coming.

If this speaks to you, comment “REWEAVE” or send me a message and we can send you the registration details.

✨ TE AHO – Return to Essence ✨

Nau Mai, Haere Mai ki Whaiora.

Join Erina and Hine for a night of reweaving the thread back to self.
This is a karanga to Wāhine ready to release expectations, unprocessed grief, and stored trauma from the body and nervous system.

Te Aho is not about becoming something new. It is about remembering what has always been there.

Beneath survival.
Beneath expectation.
Beneath pain.
