Hug a tree
Stay for a minute or three
Now tell me you don’t feel free
Released, even just a little from that prison of our mind, feeling rooted, the basic need to be held satiated.
Held by great mother of us all
Reiki flows from me to her, vice versa and through creatures great and small

Through trees and mountains she stands tall
Weathering it all
Seeking the light in darkness for nutrients to grow
With each storm she remembers her roots deep below
With each storm she is tested

And sometimes yes, she falls
As is the natural way
But rooted deep she shall rise
wise and tall she shall stand with her heart beating a rhythm something grand, as she remembers she walks with the women she once was and the woman she is, the ones she came from, and the ones yet to meet
hand in hand in hand

We evolve through our relationship to our body, our land

I was once scared of hugging trees
Not wanting to embody all I had once rejected
Not wanting to be seen, or judged

I exist beyond that now, sending love to that scared version of me that was wounded from eons ago for my relationship to nature

Now it’s not a choice, it is me.
Placing my body against a tree isn’t a performance
But a practice of reconciliation to my body, oneness and the land from which I am part of
It’s a practice of grounding when my mind is racing (like today)

So if you’re feeling like you need to be held, like you need to let go of all that is weighing you down, to reattune to your natural flow… for the love of yourself go hug a tree… lay on the earth, swim in her waters, dance in the rain❤️‍🔥🌳🌊

Ps people just walk on by when they see someone being real, so don’t be fearful of having to explain yourself 🤣 most are weirded out and will walk on by fast 🤣🙏🏻

Some days there is too much to say…

So much to feel…

So much unfolding, resolving and moving that sharing feels like something that isn’t .

It’s part of this complex human existence.

We all live those days, and it’s easy to get overwhelmed with what’s going on inside our minds and body.

So each and every time I come to these days,

Or even just passing moments when my nervous system takes a hit and I feel OFF centre, unrooted, unsettled

I remember my journal is my best friend

As is a walk in nature

Or simply slowly making and drinking a cup of tea.

I remember how change is the only constant in life
How running away from what’s beneath my surface only seeks to make it grow louder so it can be heard.

And how deserving I am of being heard, and witnessed in the mess that always turns itself out to be magic in the end when I continue walking the path of my heart.

I see you, I feel you, I love you, you’re not alone🤍

On grief & becoming…🙏🏻

I give thanks to all that held and continue to hold me in this sacred process of being with loss, coming home to self and becoming.

A rebirth into a new chapter❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥

Holding the hand of the Woman I was before loss as I move forward, I am changed, I am not her, but she deserves to not be forgotten for all the life that she holds🌀

What a gorgeous afternoon in ceremony, synchronicity, unity, community, and pure pure love 💛🌻🐣🌼🐝

Today I am reminded in the power of showing up for self, in the power of holistic practice (that is rooted in the heart) and most importantly a new year marked and celebrated in Spring, living cyclically in line with nature, our truth🙏🏻

We are meant to gather, to share, to learn, to listen and heal as one. This path is not one meant to be walked alone, as through the presence of others we are reminded too of our light, our own wisdom, medicine and where our heart is calling to be listened to. That is how we evolve, grow and be here and now with ease.

Deep gratitude as my heart and forces unseen continuing to put me where I am meant to be.

Deep gratitude for the lineages of wisdom, and those who also show up to do the work (that really unfolds in being)

Deep gratitude to the medicine of Cacao🙏🏻 she levels me to my heart everyday.

Deep gratitude for my path that has led me here, and as someone said today “to see the work working” wow yes, still a student, lifelong learning, but we must recognise where shifts happen and give thanks to all we have endured.

I hope the energy of today’s gathering can be felt through my words, that you too reading this remember the threads of life always leading you, holding you, loving you. Spring is here and so the light returns, listen to your heart, she knows the way💛

And one last Thankyou to your support has been so greatly appreciated. Thankyou for holding the space today, it was a true joy to be in your energy once more🫶🏻

Big love ✨✨✨✨✨✨✨

Over the years, circle has given me many special things. But one thing in particular made me want to return…

It was a place to prioritise me!🙏

A place where everything else in my life could be set aside and I could gift myself time in the present moment that sometimes was hard to come by.

A place where I could face my fear of being seen, a place where I was supported to heal and call back lost parts of me and celebrated in my wins however big or small.

The more I have sat in circle, and the more I have learned about this lost ritual, the more my heart feels its dire need in this modern busy world🙏

This world where we as women hold so much, where we as women are not celebrated enough or supported in our heartbreaks or triumphs.

Circle is a place to come home to the true you, the you that the world would try to dim or make small.

You in all your messiness, all your glory, can unfold in circle, and be held by yourself, by me, by the other women as we witness one and other from a heart centered place.

Oh my heartttttttt❤️‍🔥

I thought I’d share this post as inspiration for those unsure and totally new to the idea of an evening in circle🫶

Join me in circle, the first Friday of every month✨🙏

ULTIMATELY ...do what feels good to you, because you are your own healer! ✨
..I will shout this from the rooftops, especially when I see people claim to heal others. It is a personal journey, and I am but a guide, a human, a soul, someone that cares, a practitioner trained to support & to hold space for you whilst you walk your own path.

I'm offering these suggestions for those wanting further info, as these are what have supported me and past clients.

Let me know in the comments if there is anything else you do to prepare for a Reiki treatment? What works for you? I'd love to know!!! 🙏

If you are curious, or looking for your next Reiki fix, I have appointments available for the rest of the month. Check my highlights (on instagram) or message me!💌

Sending you big love, Martha-May x

It’s nearly that time of the month again✨

The time of the month I look forward to most,

To come together with likeminded women, with one common desire

To sit in sacred space together, letting our hearts be seen and held. It’s so simple.

A place for you, for all of you.

A place where ALL of life is welcome to be shared.

When women come together, in sacred space, with the priority to be present, magic and truth unfolds🦋

Some times, we bloom and blossom, some times we unravel to make sense of our experience.

Together, we journey💜

Healing is a by product of being seen and heard, in community of like minded souls, and not something you have to strive for.

Join us next week, or share with someone you know would benefit. Come alone, come with friends or family, we welcome you with open arms.

Bookable via the link in my bio, or drop me a dm!
I’d love to see you🤍

Big love, big breaths Martha-May x

FREE AS A BIRD 🦅

…that’s how I feel in my being after a walk in Nature

Moving my body surrounded by energy that I am made up of, brings me back home to my true nature

No, it won’t fix all your ‘problems’
But it always gives me the space to see things differently
The fresh air and movement gives a chance for blocked energy, tension and emotions to be freed up
As I walk, soaking in each and every drop of the surroundings, coming into more presence with each step🐾

Never underestimate the power of reconnecting to that which you came from, from the stuff you are made up of. There is wisdom in the woods, both physical and metaphorical 🌳 you’re welcome here from wherever you are at.

Join me and a community of like soul people, if you’re free and fancy it, for a nice stroll tomorrow morning🫶
- Everyone of all ages welcome! (This is not a women only event)
- 9:00am
- Chingford
- dm me for more details ✨

Walking alone is fun, but with a community there is a special magic☀️

Looking forward to seeing you there, new faces and old🙏
Big love, have a beautiful day all.

This Friday in Wanstead I am hosting another Womens Circle 💗

B A L A N C E

I’ve been thinking about it a lot
Feeling in to what my heart truly needs

It’s a hard one to master
If we ever really are meant to?
I’m not sure we are
I think we ebb and flow
Sometimes it’s equal
Other times it sways more 1way than the other
And we’re just here learning to dance
Grooving with the motions
Being with it all

But one thing I do know to be true is that stillness supports us in reassessing where we need more balance, to live and feel connected to ourselves, rather than dragged from one life event to the other, chasing the next thing and the next.

Finding peace in the presence stillness brings.
Calling energy home to wholeness with in, building and supporting our core, our essence is to heal.

We naturally return to balance because it is our very way.
☯️

If your heart is calling for presence, for prayer, for devotion to self, to building love, immerse in community, supported, seen and heard; then please join us for the next women’s circle in this gorgeous space…
7th June
7:30pm
Wanstead United Reformed Church🫶

Together we will talk, we will meditate, we will breathe.🙏

This world needs us showing up for our hearts, to offer prayers to those suffering, to ourselves in our suffering, celebrating our wins, healing, acknowledging that we are not alone, we are one 🤍

Bookable via eventbrite in bio or drop me a dm to avoid fees! Blessings to your heart🤍✨
