A stretch exercise using the inversion stool. It can be done with a chair. Great for hip mobility and strength, I use it to stretch my back. .

The transition from October to November marks a distinct season —a period when the world turns inward and in the traditions of many cultures, the veil between this life and the next is believed to thin. Yet this profound time of reflection has been sometime added to the cultural traditions or replaced by Halloween.

To understand the true power of this three-day period—Samhain, All Hallow’s Eve, and All Souls’ Day—is to step back from the aisles of mass-produced candy and recognize the enduring spiritual and cultural roots that bind us to the cycle of life, death, and remembrance.

✨ A brand new world for this sacred season! ✨
✨️Samhain, Halloween 🎃, All Saints.✨️

🖤 Stepping into the Stillness
Forget what you think you know about spooky season; let's talk about the Threshold Time. Imagine a point in the year where the world takes a deep breath, the harvest is done, and the great slumber of Winter's Gate begins. This is it. It's the original midnight hour, the turning of the cosmic clock to a New Cycle.
I’ve got roots in the old ways—a pulse for traditions that welcome the dark, cozy, inward-turning part of the year.
🌙 The Veil is Thinning
The ancient wisdom holds that during this time, the barrier between Our World and the Spirit Realm dissolves like mist. It’s the perfect moment to feel the presence of our Ancestors. Think of it as a grand, timeless family reunion!
* Honoring the Legacy: We gather not just to remember, but to feel the strength, love, and lessons of those who came before us—the very things that run in our own veins.
* Embracing the Shadow: It’s a powerful opportunity to release what weighs you down—the old habits, the stagnant energy. And in that empty space, to set clear intentions for the winter ahead.
* Future Ancestors: It's a reminder that we are on the path to becoming the guiding lights for generations to come.
🧘‍♀️ Reflect, Release, Restore
The natural world is slowing down, turning inward for rest. Winter's Gate invites us to do the same. This isn't just about fun and frights; it's a deeply spiritual pause.
Samhain, Halloween 🎃, All Saints.
For me, it connects deeply with the tradition of All Souls' and All Saints' time—a moment to consciously visit and honour loved ones who have transitioned, strengthening my connection to my anchestors roots
I love getting into this deep connection through:
* Meditation & Prayer: Finding stillness in the quiet.
* Intuitive Practices: Using cards, sounds, vocalisation, or deep reflection to gain clarity.
* Simply Remembering: Knowing that rest and stillness are just as vital and sacred as growth and light.
What's one thing you plan to release as you step through Winter's Gate? Tell me in the comments! 👇

Are You Living a Lie? The Hidden Force Behind Your Guilt 🤯

Every time you feel that familiar pang of guilt, or the crushing weight of "not good enough," you’re not failing. You're simply caught in a brilliant, ancient trap.

The world around you—from social media to your childhood rules—is selling you a fake identity built on shaky ground. It’s what ancient wisdom calls the False Ego, and it's waging a quiet war against the calm, powerful truth of who you really are.

This article peels back the layers of this illusion, showing you:
* Why the person you think you are is the root cause of your suffering.
* How to spot the "graffiti on the walls" (your conditioning) that's blocking your inner peace.
* The single, most vital reason why healers and lightworkers must dismantle this ego to be truly effective and pure channels.

A foundation guide for healers, lightworkers and anyone tiered feeling "not enough".

If you're tired of living by rules that don't belong to you, it's time to meet your True Self.

Discover how to uncover the most precious, unconditioned essence of your being. 👇

Exploring Spontaneous Language
Hello everyone,
I'm exploring the interest in a workshop about spontaneous language, also known as light language, and its potential for integration into sound healing and energy work.
Light language is a form of communication that comes from a deep, intuitive space. It can be expressed through sounds, spoken words, or even written symbols. It's used to move energy and can be a powerful tool for profound healing and integration.
I'm curious to know your thoughts on a course-workshop designed for gong bath practitioners, energy healers, and yoga teachers to learn how to access and use this unique language. This practice can add a powerful layer of healing to your current offerings.
Would this be something you'd be interested in learning? Please share your thoughts below!

Learn how to craft and use traditional smoke clearing bundles with Mugwort, Rosemary, and Lavender. Discover the ancient history and uses of these powerful herbs in aromatherapy and ritual.
A Druid’s Guide to Crafting and Using a Mugwort, Rosemary, and Lavender Smoke Stick

For centuries, the ritual of smoke clearing—often called smudging—has been a powerful practice for purification and setting intentions.

While many people are familiar with sage, a trio of other herbs offers a unique and deeply rooted connection to ancient European traditions: Mugwort, Rosemary, and Lavender.

These three herbs, each with its own rich history in herbalism and ceremonial use, create a powerful smoke bundle for cleansing your space, your mind, and your spirit.

The new moon this August, was the perfect time to make my smudge sticks. I collected my herbs and crafted my sticks infused with the moon energy, my intentions, chanting light language and prayers.

Today's New Moon falls in the Vedic constellation of Ashlesha, a nakshatra ruled by the serpent deity, the Nagas. 🐍 This cosmic alignment brings a potent energy of transformation, introspection, and deep healing. Here's what you need to know about this powerful new moon:
✨ Karmic Knots & Ancestral Healing: Ashlesha is all about untangling the past. This new moon is an ideal time for meditation and ritual work focused on releasing old patterns, karmic debts, and ancestral burdens. Honor your lineage and work to free yourself from what no longer serves you.
✨ Serpent Power: The serpent's energy symbolizes renewal and shedding old skin. This is your cue to release the old and embrace a new version of yourself. Where in your life are you ready to shed?
✨ Intuition & The Inner World: Ashlesha enhances our intuitive and psychic abilities. Pay close attention to your dreams, inner whispers, and synchronicities today. Your subconscious is speaking to you.
✨ Ritual Season Begins: This new moon launches us into a sacred time of year, leading up to Pitru Paksha (the fortnight for honoring ancestors) and the powerful Navaratri (9 nights of the divine feminine). It’s the perfect time to set intentions for this deeply spiritual season.
New Moon Ritual Idea:
* Find a quiet space: Light a candle and take a few deep breaths.
* Set your intention: On a piece of paper, write down what you want to release and what you want to invite into your life.
* Connect with your ancestors: You can simply say their names out loud or offer a small prayer of gratitude.
* Embrace the change: Remember, this is a time of shedding and rebirth. Trust the process and honor your own journey.
What are you ready to release under this Ashlesha new moon? Share in the comments below! 👇

The Shamanic and Psychic Meaning of My Vision

This vision is a powerful journey into your subconscious and the world of spirit.

The rhythmic thrum of the shamanic drum is a portal.

It's a vibration that bypasses the mind and speaks directly to the soul, inviting us to leave the ordinary world behind and journey into the landscape of the subconscious.

It was in this liminal space, just yesterday, during a facilitated shamanic drumming session, that I was met with a vision so potent and raw, it felt less like a dream and more like a direct download from the universe.

This was not a vision in colour. It was stark, primal, and deeply symbolic, unfolding in shades of black and white. It began with faces—human faces—that shifted and transformed with dizzying speed. They were fleeting identities, a parade of masks, until they gave way to something wilder, more ancient.
