It's moments like these when I feel that my role as a mother has definitely shifted...and that it's the men in my sons' lives that become the guides and role models instead of me.

It's been happening gradually over the past couple of years. I began to notice that the needs of my sons are very different compared to their younger years. It almost feels like I've given them all I could and my job is nearly done.

Instead of motherly care and nurture, working on creating genuine attachment, in addition to creating a safe space of unconditional love and learning to be with all of my boys' emotions as their nervous system develops, it feels the time has come to help them grow into (young) men. I observe and sense that their needs now include things like challenges, stretching their comfort zone, a bit of discomfort, doing things that will require them to be more independent.

It is a joy to see the men they're growing into and I am grateful they have great male role models to learn from. 🙏

I love to support parents on their journey through parenthood, especially those with neurodivergent children. Parenthood offers a fantastic opportunity to heal, grow and become the person you want to be.

If you're currently struggling, feel a bit lost and disconnected as a parent, do reach out and let's have a conversation. I'll share my Calendly link in the comments. 🙂

💕 Childhood memories usually aren’t about the big things. They’re about the feeling of growing up with you.

Years from now, children won’t remember whether the house was perfect or every moment went smoothly. What often stays with them are the emotional experiences that shaped their sense of safety and belonging.

-> Did I feel safe?
-> Did someone listen to me?
-> Was I comforted when I was overwhelmed?
-> Did we laugh and play together?

Children build their understanding of the world through everyday moments — how we respond when they struggle and how they felt in our presence.

✨ It’s not perfection that shapes childhood memories. It’s connection and the feeling of home.

Deep breath:

"It is safe for me to love the parts of myself my conditioning taught me to reject.”

“I choose to trust that having a healthy relationship with them is the remedy I didn’t know my life needed."

Deep breath.

What a day... 🙏 I spent it in a recording studio capturing the magic of meditation. ✨

When I first began to learn to meditate it was to help myself out of post-natal depression. I had realised that it was the thoughts in my head that created the hell I found myself living in. I just wanted to calm my mind and the negative thoughts circling it... As I learnt, dedicating myself to the practice, I began to feel better and my life very slowly began to improve too.

There was another part of me that wondered, at the time, if the 9 - 5 is what life is supposed to be. I was asking myself: 'Is this it?' It felt empty and unfulfilling. I felt there must be more to life...

I never imagined that meditation would become my stress- buster but also a portal into awareness and consciousness which, over time, began to shift the way I perceive and experience life - one that observes, is calmer and more accepting. Meditation has become my guide towards things I needed to awaken in my life such as creativity and creative expression.

I now create my own meditations - for my monthly meditation sessions and for my clients. My meditations are not scripted. I receive inspiration, I listen to it and I trust it.

The meditation I began recording today with original music by the super-talented Joe Payne will be one of those meditations. It will take you on an imaginative journey. And I dare say it will be an imaginative journey you've never experienced before...

The next phase of this project will ask of me to step even more into trust... But I already can't wait to share it with you... 😌😁🙏✨

Here's to a very special Spring Equinox! 🌱☀️🌼🌹✨

If you're interested in experiencing kind of magic a meditation offers you're welcome to join me at our next meditation and sound bath session on Monday 13th April at Platinum House in .

Client session reflection: your energy is precious. Others may be drawn to get energy for themselves from you because energy is life-giving. If you're a sensitive or an empath you give so much of your energy. You need to protect it.✨

THE BLISS OF BEING IN THE HUMAN BODY for the highly sensitive

Today I decided to do a little bit of yoga. On Sunday I ran a long distance training run and felt my body could do with the additional stretch to re-align after the effort. I do sun salutation every morning but apart from that I don't practice yoga regularly.

I have a yoga video saved on my drive which I turn to when I want a full practice. It's over 20 years old. It first existed as a video tape! (not even DVD) 😁. After a few years my husband somehow found a way to transfer it onto a video file that plays on a computer.

As soon as I hit the mat I sensed how my body had transformed again. Lying down for the initial stretch I could tell how much quicker my body relaxed, how in tune I am with it, noticing every little detail of how it feels. Each breath brought me closer to my centre, surrendering to the moment, acknowledging the power of the breath, our gateway to calm and serenity.

Just after a few minutes I felt almost blissful, appreciating being in my body, imagining every cell smiling with me. In that moment I was truly happy to be in my body and I appreciated it as the miracle it actually is…

Now, for someone like me, this is actually quite a feat. You see, I've spent most of my life rejecting my body, treating it really badly and putting it through the stress of eating disorders. As a highly sensitive neurospicy person occupying this human shell has come with additional challenges. The experience of this world through (not only) our senses can be very intense. We do a lot to disconnect from our body, so that we don't feel because it can be too much. I now see that. And for the past few years I began to see what a gift the sensitivity is despite the challenges.

I now see that I get to experience life on this planet more fully, more intensely. Each moment can be a truly joyful, exciting or blissful experience. The downside is that the negative experiences are heightened and more intense too but I can embrace that now too because I now view it as a sign that I am alive. I am not just sleep walking through life. I live it. This doesn't make experiencing life easier, on the contrary, but I now know it is part of the gift.

I feel that with every layer of the onion I peel, the more I heal, the closer I get to who I truly am, the lighter my body is (not necessarily in weight but in the feeling), it moves with greater ease and I am able to enjoy its movement and feel happy in my skin (literally 😂).

For all the highly sensitive people out there, especially the younger folk, this is a message of encouragement. You don't have to ‘suffer’ your body. There is a way to connect with it on a deeper level, accept it and create a (more) loving relationship with it.

If this is something that resonates with you, or is true of your child/teen do get in touch. Let's have a conversation.

I shall be returning to my yoga mat soon, I know that. And I will be going dancing soon too 😊



With Love
Katerina

PS: yoga pictures hardly ever look good.. I don't know how people do it 😂 so I've added the magnificent stained glass window of the Cause at night to marvel at 😁

Client session reflection:
You being your
AUTHENTIC SELF around others is your gift to them. ✨

Which levels do you hang around in and surround yourself with? 💫

There's a range of perspectives available 😉 If you're hanging around people in levels one and two, you're going to be frustrated, and feel consistently invalidated and unable to share your authentic experience with your social world.

If you're hanging around people in level three, you'd better be an ambitious student of something the academic world highly values... not an easy ask once you reach adulthood.

If you're hanging around people in levels four and five, you'll feel a deep sense of validation about your neurodivergent experiences, and a consequent sense of fundamental belonging (even amongst heterogenous groups).

If you're hanging around people in levels six and seven, buckle up because your ride through life is going to be a co-creative cosmic journey that defies all attempts to simplify or reduce your giftedness down to something manageable or locally limited!

Keep in mind too: *You* are one of the people you hang around. You live with yourself 24/7. So where are you on the spectrum of viewpoints? How are you supporting or denying/limiting the existential value and cosmic potential of your giftedness? How can you shift to a more supportive approach?

This podcast interview was such a big deal! Petra Laméa Poláková and I discussed our joint passion in supporting neurodivergent children, young people and their families.

Our perspective on the world of and differs from the mainstream. Both of us neurodivergent we have embraced our gifts of being highly sensitive and perceiving the world and OUR CHILDREN through a different lens.

This conversation is for all open-minded and curious parents of autistic, AuADHD and ADHD children and young people. It may open your eyes and hearts to a different perception of your child and their world.

Link to the podcast is in the comments.

ADHD through the lens of a new paradigm. ADHD as 'attention diallied to higher dimensions'. A beautiful interview with Petra Lamea Polakova, an expert on ADH...
