My toxic trait is apparently thinking I am indestructible.

I've achieved a lot in the two weeks I've been in France, but I wanted to have got so much further (without knowing what new obstacles I was going to find).

Fibromyalgia has at last stepped in to remind me that I am not indestructible. I actually feel broken right now. My joints are screaming at me. My bank and hips are agony. I'm not sleeping.

And so, these last couple of days are being made over to rest, and sitting-at-a-desk work.

That also means no Monday Mantra this week - I just don't have the energy to give to it right now. Sorry.

🙏

Hoping I'll be able to do Monday Mantra this evening, but currently the 4G signal in the village is playing hide and seek.

If it improves later, I'll be going live. If not, I'll try again tomorrow.

Tomorrow's Monday Mantra is for those if it's whose brain is up and doing laps before we've even made a cuppa.

It's a hand on the back, a deep breath and a gentle return to centre. It's calm clarity. Less noise, more knowing. Coming home to yourself (even on a Monday). It's a reminder that beneath all the tasks we have to do and tabs we have open, there’s a spacious awareness that’s already okay.

Hello! I thought you might like a little update on what will become the Earthtones Retreat House. I've been working hard and although there's still more to do in all of these rooms (some painting to finish, floors to clean, or redo, furniture to buy!), that's been a lot of progress.

I have been plastering, painting, shopping and planning.

Next week I'll be starting the bit I've been dreading - the back corridor and toilet, which both need replastering 😱

But for now, the dining room, living room and dorm room. The dining room is the only room with any furniture atm (apart from my bedroom, which has a bed!).

Good morning lovelies! The sun is shining here, but it's not warm. How are you?

And how are your stress levels today? Here's a new blog post about how sound healing can help reduce cortisol, the stress hormone - along with some things you can do at home (without investing ££££ in instruments), and some reasons why you might like to try a session of sound healing for destressing.

Let me know what you think!

Learn how sound therapy helps balance cortisol: what it is, why it matters,, and simple at-home practices for calmer days and sleep.

This week's mantra blog post - the meaning, the importance and a simple ritual to do at home.

A 5–10 minute mantra for loving boundaries: Om Namah Shivaya. Meaning, how to chant with a mala, and gentle prompts to set clear, kind limits.

03/11/2025

When your calendar is fuller than your cup, it’s time to anchor into clean, kind boundaries. This week's practice centres your inner authority - not spiky walls, just a steady spine and a soft heart.

This week’s mantra:

Om Namah Shivaya

Pronounced: om nah-MAH shi-VAH-yah

Theme for the week: Self-respect, the clear “no,” and permission to be spacious.

Today's blog post on yesterday's mantra. It's a juicy one!

Lakshmi's Gentle Abundance

A soft, 5–10 minute mantra: Om Shrim Maha Lakshmiyei Swaha. A gentle mala practice to invite ease, support and worthy receiving.

Monday Mantra on a Tuesday. A mantra to Lakshmi,.

Lakshmi is the energy of being supported. Not just wealth in the bank – wealth in the nervous system. Enough time. Enough love. Enough softness. Enough of YOU.

Om Shreem Maha Lakshmiyei Swaha

Hello my loves. I have just arrived in Dover (after lots of delays) and so the Monday Mantra is not going to happen tonight. Sorry!

It will happen tomorrow. I don't know yet when it will be, but it's likely to be from the property in France late afternoon/early evening.

Sorry 🙏🏻🙏🏻
