If you have legs, don't expect anyone to carry you through life.

Get lost, explore, get uncomfortable, get curious, ask for directions, ask for help, rest, reflect, get curious again, skip, jog and stroll, and nurture your legs with gratitude.

Don't be afraid of your life, even if it has been overwhelming, it relies on you to walk, even if you tremble at the beginning.

The more you use and nourish those legs, the more powerful you become.

Food is Medicine in Season:

FENNEL!
Have it in a salad with olive oil, or cook it in a soup. Fennel is a sharp digestive and a sure thing in the Mediterranean diet.
Anti-inflammatory and aiding digestion, fennel seeds are traditionally used as a digestive aid.
Rich in antioxidants, they are also packed with plant flavonoids such as quercetin which are anti-allergy and more.
It can help appetite control and thus weight management.
Fennel is commonly known to increase breast milk production too.

Everything is within you
Thus, nothing is within you
You can not be one without the other,
One can not exist without the other.

So when you come to the knowing, it is time to let it go.
When you start believing, let it go.
When you uncover the truth, let it go.
It's everything and nothing all at once.
So just be.
Your presence is important to me.

Let go of your usefulness in doing.
Remember the power of space, remember the energy around your body
The energy you offer and allow yourself to absorb, consciously or unconsciously.
Slow down.
We need you alive, present and soft.
Your breathing is important to me.
You touching your heart and remembering your spirit is of a use that reaches further than your busy doing.
Your magic is found in stillness.

Thirty spokes are joined together in a wheel,
but it is the centre hole
that allows the wheel to function.

You mould clay into a pot,
but it is the emptiness inside
that makes it liveable.

We work with the substantial,
but the emptiness is what we use.

Lao Tzu, Tao Te Ching

Pain has a thousand faces, and not one of them like to be controlled or ignored.

A powerful way to engage with pain, is through the heart. With love and compassion.

Pain wants love, not rejection, as we all do.

vitamin C for immune and skin health

Make your mornings quiet.
Be still, pray, meditate, follow your breath.
The mornings as soon as you wake, are when you are most vulnerable, so carve out time before the world around you wakes up, and embed beauty, gratitude and the creative darkness through these open sacred doors.

Start your day with your internal world.

-----

Freed from desire, you can see the hidden mystery.
By having desire you can only see what is visibly real.
Yet mystery and reality
emerge from the same source.
The source is called darkness.
Darkness born from darkness.
The beginning of all understanding.

Lao Tzu, Tao Te Ching.

We often find each other and create relationships through our wounding.
We evoke mirroring, mimicking, replay of past dynamics, loops and habits from our painful history, and we play them out again with different people, like our spouses.

We don't realise, but these are comforting familiar places that we are pulled back into, out of familiarity.

Familiarity, and the hope that this will be the time for your recognition of worth, the time when your greatness will be adored, your abilities rewarded and your ego satiated, a well deserved oasis of love and safety that is over-due.

But, these things won't come. The familiar will win more often, and the wounding will continue, even though you don't deserve it.

So how do we break this cycle?

What do you look like, act like and think like, if you are not referring to your wounded self? Have you ever tired? Does this feel safe, or uneasy?
Can you act in your relationship from places that are not layered with expectations from the wounded parts?

What would it feel like if you both acted from a place of new, of self esteem and self empowerment where the hungry wounds were put to bed, and you began to act, speak, and think from a place of healing, energy and heart?

What if your wound stopped leading and your power took over?
No blame, no pain, no repeating cycles.
Just two people in awareness, and choosing healing together, every day.

That is where the true power couple arises, from the healing power of self, that has always been in waiting, for the light to land on it.

A place where you celebrate strength, and share it with each other.

Sometimes that feeling of panic rising, is actually the creative, it is creation rising - creation is chaos before it falls into perfect order.

Every feeling has multiple faces.
Give feelings a chance to show you something new and lean in.

Our feelings are misunderstood.
We often base our daily experiences through the the lens and filters of the past, not allowing new experiences and definitions to arise from these seemingly familiar sensations.
Is every knot in the stomach anxiety?
What if that feeling of dread is actually the same as the feeling of creativity, courage or thrill, trying to find its way through past experiences and expectations.

Come on a three day journey with me where we do not label feelings. But just feel them in our body and give them an opportunity to create something new, new experiences, growth, knowledge.

Lets get curious and see what within us, is waiting to be seen and explored.

What is in season?
Food is medicine. Yes please, my favorite medicine!
Your body will love a bit of broccoli.
I love it roasted with garlic, or as a cream of broccoli soup.
It includes vitamins C, K, and A, potassium and calcium.
It contains antioxidants and compounds like sulforaphane which is the bomb for healing.
Broccoli is anti-inflammatory and helps detoxification processes, it loves your heart and your liver.
Your guts will love the fiber and microbiome food it offers.
Give it a good rinse or buy it organic if you can - broccoli is the kind of medicine with the best side effects. ( I can hear everyone's comments about farts ;-) )
