For the soul completely consumed by the exhausting anger of how unfairly they were treated, read the Buddha’s profound wisdom 🌑

It is one of the heaviest burdens a human being can carry.

Someone hurt you deeply. They crossed a boundary, betrayed your trust, or treated you with an absolute lack of respect. And now, long after the actual event has ended, you are carrying a burning, heavy rage inside your chest.

You replay what they did to you a hundred times a day. You have imaginary arguments with them in your head while you are driving. You are desperately waiting for them to realize what they did, or waiting for the universe to punish them.

You feel entirely justified in your anger—because they were wrong. But here is the agonizing truth: your "justified" anger is completely destroying your peace. You think your resentment is a weapon that is punishing them, but they are likely going about their day completely fine, while you are sitting in a room drinking poison, waiting for them to collapse.

Over 2,500 years ago, the Buddha addressed the exact, brutal reality of holding a grudge.

He didn't just offer the surface-level advice to "forgive and forget" or ask you to simply be nice. In the Kodhana Sutta (AN 7.64), he delivered a highly advanced, piercing breakdown of exactly what anger does to the human system.

He taught that holding onto rage is not an act of strength. It is an act of unknowingly surrendering to the very person who hurt you.

⚔️ The Wishes of an Enemy
The Buddha asked his followers to consider what a bitter enemy actually wants for you. An enemy wishes for your downfall. They wish for you to be ugly and miserable, to sleep in agony, to make terrible decisions, to lose your prosperity, and to have your friends abandon you.

Then, the Buddha delivered the shattering reality: When you allow anger to possess your mind, you do every single one of these things to yourself. You do your enemy's work for them.

🔥 The Self-Inflicted Wounds
Look at the mechanics of what happens when you hold onto a grudge:

* You lose your rest: Your enemy doesn't have to keep you awake. Your own boiling mind keeps you staring at the ceiling at 3:00 AM, entirely robbed of peaceful sleep.

* You lose your light: The physical toll of chronic anger twists your features and spikes your stress. You lose your natural radiance.

* You lose your clarity: Blinded by resentment, you speak harshly to the people who actually love you. Your bitter energy pushes away your friends and damages the good things you still have left.

By holding onto the anger, you are actively granting the person who wronged you complete control over your present reality.

🛡️ Dropping the Burning Coal
The Buddha's teaching here is incredibly practical. Dropping your anger is not about letting the other person "win." It is not about passive acceptance, and it does not mean that what they did to you was okay.

It is a tactical, absolute refusal to keep harming yourself on their behalf.

The Buddha taught that every person is the owner of their own karma. The person who wronged you will inevitably inherit the dark results of their own unskillful actions. That is the inescapable law of the universe. It is not your job to manage their karma.

Your only job is to protect your own mind.

The next time that burning wave of resentment rises up and tries to drag you into an imaginary argument, stop. Recognize exactly what is happening. Say to yourself: "I refuse to do my enemy's work for them. I refuse to surrender my peace today."

Open your hands. Drop the burning coal. Let them carry the weight of their own actions, and finally set yourself free.

I recently came across the “Rubber Ball and Glass Ball” theory and it honestly shifted something in me.

Every day we’re juggling so much.
Work. The house. Messages. Commitments. Expectations. Family.

It can feel relentless.

But here’s the perspective that stopped me in my tracks, not every ball we’re holding is the same.

Some are rubber.

They can drop.
The missed workout.
The unanswered email.
The laundry that waits.
The plans you reschedule.

They bounce. They recover. They’re forgiving.

But some are glass.

And those are sacred.

The bedtime chats.
The slow mornings.
The laughter around the dinner table.
The quiet moments with your partner.
The ordinary days that don’t look big at the time, but one day you realise they were everything.

Glass doesn’t bounce.
It breaks.

I’m learning that success isn’t about keeping every ball in the air perfectly.

It’s about knowing which ones you can let fall… and which ones you need to protect.

Because in the end, it won’t be the perfectly managed schedule that defines our life.

It’ll be the moments we chose to guard.

Guard the glass.
Let the rubber bounce

With permission im sharing a speech my son recently wrote for a timed speech debate on the topic of 'The World Around Me'...
It feels incredibly poignant and a view of todays world though the eyes of a 16 year old.
I'll let it rest here... 💛😇

🌑 New moon in Aquarius ♒️🏺🌑

17/2/26

Today we have the new moon 🌑 in Aquarius 🏺... aligned with a total solar eclipse aptly named the ring of fire and the start of the Chinese year of the fire horse 🔥🐎. This week holds some of the most dynamic and potent energy not only of the year, but of the decade. Are you feeling it?

We say goodbye to the year of the wood snake, a 9 year... symbolising the end of a cycle. Clearing out the dead wood, shedding old skins, loosing old beliefs, thought patterns and behaviors that have held you stuck. We are now in year 10/1 numerological energy, endings and beginnings... We welcome in the energy of the fire horse, with momentum the horse will burn though all that is false, all that is unsustainable, exposing what needs to be revealed, breaking patterns and bringing disruption in its wake as the fire horse 🔥🐎 energy brings movement, intensity, truth, rapid change and courage.

This alignment with the Aquarius 🏺 new moon 🌑 creates a powerful portal... we are seeing many of our planet move out of their Piscean placements into Aquarius at this time... and this is turning the table in how we move through our realities on the micro and macro. We are leaving the dreamy, illusionary energy behind and being forced to wake up with a bang!!

We are also experiencing a full solar eclipse referred to as the ring of fire 🔥... the start of the eclipse corridor. Eclipses cycles are powerful portals in themselves... where anything is possible. The wild card energy is invoked and the rules go out the window. Eclipses are fated moments, depending what sign they are sitting in , they can effect those areas of our lives. Thibk 2016/17/18... what was happening in your life around that time... themes may raise their heads for attention again. Eclipse corridors can act like a tower moment, unsurrping all we thought we knew... if our foundations are not built on solid ground, be prepared for them to rumble and potentially even crumble. As the adage goes... if the roots are deep, you do not need to fear the wind 💨🍃.

This energy is about alignment over comfort! Aquarius 🏺 is bring in the energy of awakening, truth, movement. Everything is changing fast, and so many are holding on to the past and its apparent comfort by the ends of their fingernails
But what they fail to see, is so much of that 'comfort' was illusion. If we refuse to surrender and ride those waves 🌊, we will be dragged, tossed about and battered in the current until we have no choice but to open our eyes and hearts to what's being revealed.

Time lines are accelerating... expect the unexpected and question everything you thought of as 'normal'!

We are being asked to look at where we have been limited? Caught in the trap? The system? Where have we allowed expectation, habbit and comfort to keep our eyes wide shut?? 👀 🤔

As the veil keeps thinning, karmic doors close and new paths open... observe what feels true and what no longer vibes... visualise yourself living more authentically and magically.

You may be feeling all the physical symptoms such as body heaviness, aches and pains, exhaustion, wired but tired, headaches, sinus, throat, chest and tummy issues. Weird and wonderful dreams, sleep disruptions, anxiety etc. You may have witnessed animals acting out of sorts, people around you projecting or behaving unusually. You may feel or experience endings occur in your life, there may be unavoidable confrontations , revelations or truth bombs. You may receive clarity! Expect your 🐂💩 meter to expire and toir tolerance of what is inauthentic to drop... what is false, fake or forced has no place in the energy moving forwards. This energy disrupts, detangles and rewires!

Buckle up buttercups... were in for a ride.

🌕 Full moon in Leo ♌🦁 and Imbolc 🌱
1.2.26

We finally leave the 4136 days of January behind and with the beginning of February we have been gifted Imbolc 🌱 which symbolises the return to light along with the full moon 🌕 in Leo 🦁.

This full moon offers a pause... a reprieve... a breath in what has been a hugely energetic tumulus and chaotic time. It has been a treacherous uphill climb, an intense spiritual warfare and most of us are feeling battle weary. I dreamt last night that I somehow ended up joining a marathon type run... Believe me this is not something I have any intention of doing 🤣 which makes this all the more random... From cheering on some littles in a friendly egg and spoon race, I am suddenly running for my life in this race... But this is not any normal race, it was like a journey... Through obscure dangerous terrain, thick dark woods, rope climbs up sheer cliff faces, to logic challenges where correct doors had to be chosen to pass though to the next phase, collecting strange artifacts and tokens on route... People around you doing all they could to send you off course or sabotage you... This felt like no ordinary marathon but a fight for life... Interestingly never finished, I was woken up (kids & animals 🙄😆) before the dream played out just as I was being told to take 3 tokens to pass to the next stage of the race...
This is what life has felt like over the last few years, ducking and diving, watching chaos reign and people turn on each other, all the while we are trying to navigate the day to day and function remotely normally and pretend all is well, while the world all but implodes around us. The last 6 months following the Leo ♌ new moon 🌑 have been like quicksand, move quickly or you will be lost... We have been closing out a huge number of energetic cycles as well as experiencing huge astrological alignments and shifts... And I'm sure you would agree... We are tiirrreeeed!! 😴😴

This full moon 🌕 in Leo 🦁 is ushering in the energies of completion, release and endings as all full moons do... But also joy, breakthroughs, shifts in perspective, awareness and self love 💕. It is a momentary exhale, a pause... A reminder that beauty, pleasure and wonder still exist. How fitting that this full moon aligns with Imbolc and the celebration of the return of the light here in the northern hemisphere.

Leo represents leadership, power and status... While Aquarius reflects the collective, people and communities... We are seeing this power play on the macro and micro. This Leo 🦁 full moon is doing what all fullmoons do... Illuminate... We may see leaders, power players and manipulative individuals highlighted while the veil is lifted and much exposed. All the while the collective watches on! Courage and cowardice are being revealed and in Leo 🦁 style, this could be loud, visible or public.

While we are witnessing the crumbling old old structures and paradigms, we must rember that our individual creativity and sovereignty can remain... This is a time to birth new ideals, to keep the candle 🕯️ burning in the dark.

Leo can be grand and dramatic... Passion and drama may be prevelant... This does not signify good or bad, just a realignment. The push and pull of drama in your life may redirect your decisions, thinking or even life path or open your eyes to those in your life who are misaligned. Intensity can bring people together or push them apart.

Leo rules the heart... We are being called to attention. What are you ready to bring to life? Are you in the right relationship with yourself? Are your actions aligned with your values?

We have the potential to harness the energy of the lion 🦁 and choose self love, gaining freedom from false voices, inauthenticity, performance, internal and external criticism, systems and structures that squash and squeeze us, self doubt, over explaining, people pleasing and fear of judgement. No more bending and stretching to fit in, or hiding and shrinking to please and appease. No more self abandonment or selling ones self short.

Unhealthy ego has no place in the new, allow pride to be humbled and fear exposed. Keep that candle 🕯️ burning in the dark... Light always rises again.

Capricorn ♑️ 🐐 new moon 🌑 vibes...

18/01/2026

Oh to putter... the energy of this time of year calls for exactly this.

My body, mind and soul has been screaming out all autumn and winter for a slowed down, unassuming, more tender pace. Nature has put itself to rest, biding its time, through the darkness, cocooned in stillness, nurturing. The old dies off and fades away while what remains waits patiently...

Over the last couple of years I have felt natures pull and call during the change of the seasons, listened to the ebb and flow of the energy and begun to understand my body's rhythm in response. But this year more than ever before, I am struggling to swim against the tide... what modern culture and society demands from us is so completely at odds with natures pulse.

Instead of sinking into rest, cozying up, revitalising and replenishing our vitality we are pushed to go, go, go...

Energetically we are in constant demand, expected to be alert, on the ball and even motivated in the darkest, slowest part of the year. New years resolutions fall flat as for our body and mind its counterproductive... going against all they are pleading for.

We are all in different spaces and places within our life's journey but for myself, things have never been more busy and hectic, im pulled in more directions than i have capacity for and feel like im dropping more plates than i can keep spinning... and I dont revell in it. I have never found value in productivity equalling worth and while we move through times and seasons, I long for a slower more gentle pace. This doesn't always feel like living, but surviving. The truth is we were never put on this planet to keep the matrix turning over but to enjoy what mother earth has to offer and move through her cycles with compassion and ease. More than ever so many of us are resisting the structures created, the systems implemented and a quest for simplicity and connection has become the driving force.

We are being called within... called home. To nest, to rest not resist, to nourish and nurture the body, to sleep, to sit in quiet... the fire on, a book in hand, a cup of something nice, knitting, drawing, talking, listening to music, baking... creating... being... living life more softly...

So if new year, new you has not taken off... if your resolutions are slow coming to frustration, if tou feel lack luster, drained and depleted... listen to your body and wait for the fresh energy of spring to wash over you to begin anew.

Amy 💛 😇
