With Thanks and Love

On this beautiful day as we approach spring equinox, breathe deeply. Send your love down into the earth and ground yourself. Feel your energy expand into the interconnected web of life and know that whatever you do, think, or say will ripple out and return to you. This, of course, affects what happens next, as all things, people and beings are inextricably interconnected.

Last shout out for the Spring Newsletter. If you would like a copy, let me know!!

Love, light, insight - Vicki ❤️❤️

Light Up Your Life

Light is returning and we are fast approaching spring equinox on Friday 20th March when day and night are of equal length. Final edits on the newsletter today, please keep an eye on your mailbox for the latest drop!!

“The wheel of the year is not just a matter of changing from one season to the next. Beneath the manifestation of seasonal change, there is also change in the energy of the earth. These energy patterns affect us all whether we are conscious of them or not. By understanding the flow and direction of that energy, we can move with it, as true inhabitants of our planet earth: belonging,
part of, changing on all levels of our being.”

Masks We Wear

In the process of writing the Spring Newsletter I have been contemplating conscious living and how knowing what you are doing and why, allows you to take off the mask of acting.

Masks worn at work, at home and even with yourself mean that you are pretending to impress, please or accommodate others. Realising you are not being your authentic self is often only appreciated fully at times of emotional crisis, when you are forced to stop and review everything.

When you finally come out of hiding; you allow yourself to experience life fully, honestly and genuinely, with grace and integrity.

All my love - Vicki ❤️❤️

Life on Purpose

I met a friend for coffee this week and as always our conversation took a deep dive from the first sip. We explored life on purpose and whether we make conscious decisions, or allow a path which gets to the same place but takes a lot longer?

Being awake spiritually allows you to notice signs the universe is pointing to. It’s a myth there is only one chance, one partner, one career opportunity. What’s meant for you will come to you, but you do have to notice when it comes, otherwise you’ll keep missing the boat.

Looking back, reflecting on and contemplating the path you have taken, is a great practice to honestly see if you’re where you want to be. And if you’re not sure, it really helps to know the places, people and situations you need to leave, avoid and let go. Real and lasting change can only follow a different course of action.

My yoga mat is a never ending source of inspiration and realisation. A magic carpet ride of endless possibility and adventure. My most creative ideas, solutions and dreams open up on the mat every single day. Grateful you found me!!

Love & light - Vicki ❤️❤️

Light Force

Do you notice how you feel in a particular place with particular people?

Increasing self awareness allows us to let go of the masks we put on, without realising, when we feel insecure, threatened, criticised, judged, vulnerable and exposed.

Being with people who accept us wholly allows us to take off the masks and enter a state of being which is referred to as presence. In this state we are in flow, unfettered, free flying and give off high energy vibes which impact everyone around us.

In flow our energy becomes powerful, magnetic and we feel that anything is possible!!

When, where and with whom do you experience a state of flow?

Love & light - Vicki ❤️❤️

International Women’s Day 🫶🏽

I often wonder whether men would be so willing to squander the lives of children if they had to grow them for nine months inside their body and give birth painfully to a tiny human being who remains largely dependent for several years?

Mothers watch their children grow. They wipe tears and allay fears. They laugh and cry at wobbly first steps and magical first words. Mothers support their children to the best of their ability, they are even willing to die for them.

Over the last two and a half years more than 20,000 children have been killed in Gaza. Imagine the pain, the heart break and the unimaginable grief of seeing your child blown to pieces. Yet the world is largely silent in its condemnation. Our quiet acceptance of this sick normalisation is allowing slaughter on an industrial scale.

James Elder, UNICEF spokesman said earlier today “if the killing of children no longer feels like a loss, we have lost more than we realise!!”

We can all oppose what is happening and take action for peace. There are so many things that each of us can do every day. Together our voices grow louder and stronger and we can co create a peaceful world where all life is equal and sacred.

Love & light - Vicki ❤️❤️

Standing Steady

Staying grounded and rooted in your personal power in times of uncertainty and change. This was the theme of our Self Development circle today.

We kept coming back to unity, interconnectedness and living from the heart. The powers that be will always have us bickering amongst ourselves, blaming one another and fighting, which of course allows them to achieve their ulterior motives while we are distracted looking the other way!!

If this calls you, please get in touch. You can join as a one off and check us out. Expect time for contemplation, bodywork, breath work and guided meditation. This year we are working with the energy of a different tree each month native to the British isles, today it was Hawthorn.

And if you fancy some reading material for inspiration, I highly recommend When Things Fall Apart by the brilliant Pema Chodron.

Make Peace

Love is always at the heart of our first Saturday of the month meditation circle.

At this time of global conflict, it is more important than ever to find ways of standing steady in order to avoid overwhelm, fear and panic. Taking positive action to make peace with ourselves and our communities is a powerful, potent contribution to world peace.

These seemingly small actions send ripples of love, kindness, generosity and peace around the globe.

Be in the vibration of love. ❤️❤️
