Remember, our defences first formed when contact or relationship didn’t feel safe.
They are the memory of danger of pain.
So criticising another for their defensiveness, or trying to bypass your own defences is kind of violent.
Defences are a bit like onions. You don’t get to the vulnerable layer by smashing the onion. You get there first, by befriending and then second, by gently peeling back the layer that says “not yet, I'm not ready, this feels scary.”
It's an act of love.

For me, grace is what descends when I finally learn to stop reaching for an exit and stand where I already am.
It doesn’t ask you to deserve it and it isn’t a reward for insight or effort.
Grace is bestowed upon you with the quietly shocking discovery: that the doorway you’ve been searching for has always been shaped exactly like you.

The next 'Human Being Practice Lab' session is Saturday 20th Dec.
We are exploring the nature of mind, its 'prediction loops' that keep up repeating unwanted patterns of thought and behaviour, and how neuroscience demonstrates that trauma is an experience that is *constructed* by the brain - just like every other experience is constructed.
This fact doesn't trivialize the experience of trauma, it just shows us the real power of predictions in our everyday lives - and most importantly, how awareness and inquiry can dissolve these predictive patterns.
If you'd like to feel free, light and alive, I invite you to join our wonderful community of consciousness explorers. We meet every 2 weeks and we've made it totally affordable. Link in bio or DM me for details.

"A good friend recommended that I contact Aly after having had a profound shift in self-image and quality of life during their work together.
I was very sceptical of coaching after having had a few mediocre (yet expensive) coaching experiences, but I could see how changed my friend appeared to be, so I was curious.
Without going into the specifics of my story, I will say that Aly manages to reflect obvious and yet strangely novel things back to you *about* you, or about life, in such a kind way that it opens a new wing of your mind and heart.
I just loved working with her, she’s super funny and sharp and so compassionate, and she shares about her own trials too, which always made me feel so much less of a freak!
The combination of spiritual coaching and hypnosis was incredibly powerful for me.
I learned to stay with myself, trust myself and question the notion of ‘self’ all at once. It was eye opening in the best way.
I can't recommend her work highly enough. I will be coming back for 'tune up' sessions periodically. Thank you Aly, you're a wonder!"
Thank you Carey! You're a wonder too, and one of my most 'up for it' clients, thank you for your trust and good humour.

This aching, broken hearted world. 💔
Pour your love, your kindness, your grace into it whenever, wherever you can. It's the only antidote that can ever work.
There are those at the top actively recruiting people into corrosive states of being — contempt, hypervigilance, competition, scarcity... and it's all too easy to get pulled into harder, narrower versions of ourselves that we wouldn't ordinarily choose.
Our compassion and empathy are being tested to breaking point by the vileness that our so-called 'leaders' spew out on the daily. But wishing them to suffer the way they are causing so much suffering, simply blackens our hearts.
Someone wrote today "The repair will take generations. That’s our reality. Stay purposeful, and refuse to become collateral damage."
It's a war on consciousness. We must prevail. Choose love.

Your brain's predictions are the cause of most of your suffering.
Really.
Fortunately your brain has plasticity, and YOU have consciousness.
Predictions can be changed.
The deaf/blind brain which cannot see or hear anything directly, forms a belief, a best guess about what sensations are about to happen, why they happened and what they mean, which creates patterns of emotion.
The old hypothesis - formed as a result of painful experiences - doesn’t get tested for its accuracy or truth until you consciously engage with the predictions.
Then, things can change fast.
I invite you to join and I in The Human Being Community where we explore and dissolve these loops with a jolly group of brave, awakening humans. Link in bio.

Most humans think I'm totally mad when I suggest that it's possible (not easy, but possible) to "get off" on the trials and tribulations of life...
And that when this becomes an intentional practice - to erotically embrace and understand your hidden love for drama and suffering - it will truly set you free.
When you own up to, and laugh at, all the ways you secretly relish the chaos, you stop feeding the cycle of inner conflict and begin to harness all that energy that was previously used up in denial and theatrics.
This is the kind of deep alchemical work and I are guiding a courageous group of humans through every 2 weeks in The Human Being Community. You can join anytime, all sessions are recorded.
So... if a part of you is terrifically offended by the notion that you relish the chaos in your life, it could just be a sign that your ego is running the show and some deeper investigation is needed 😁

And before anyone rushes to school me: this isn’t an attempt to sanitise addiction or minimise its catastrophic consequences. Lives unravel under its weight. I’ve sat with people in the thick of it, and the devastation is real.
But if we frame addiction as a moral failure or a neurochemical issue, we miss the more subversive truth running underneath it all. The point of this lens is to illuminate the terrain in which it grows, because different terrain allows different choices.
Most addiction is simply what happens when a human nervous system, never shown how to stay with itself, goes looking for an exit ramp. When the present moment feels uninhabitable, the psyche improvises a doorway. Addiction is a very understandable attempt at relief.
But there is another option, and my clients sometimes find it insultingly small: STAY. Stay with the tremor in the chest, the restless mind, the stories that want to drag you into their old familiar prediction loops. Stay with what you’ve spent a lifetime trying to outrun.
Presence quietly removes the need for the escape hatch. When someone learns to remain with what’s here without the usual theatrics, something begins to unwind. The impulse to sedate dissolves because there is nothing left that needs sedating.
This is the work. The younguns call it 'raw-dogging' these days. But it's just the radical decision to occupy your own life moment by moment, until nothing in you needs to disappear to survive it.
If you're interested in cultivating this level of presence, we're deep in this work in The Human Being Community, and we've made it super affordable. Click the link in my bio or scan the QR code for details.

The topic of the last session in The Human Being Community was "Healing The Mother Wound" and we went deeeeeep.
It's always such a beautiful experience to observe the connections being formed and the care being exchanged among members of the community - as we share and work through our most tender human challenges.
and I feel it's such a privilege to guide and support people in this way, it's genuinely our favourite way to spend our time 😊
It's never too late to join, all the sessions are recorded so you'll always have the chance to catch up on progressive arc of the journey.
And if you're one of those people that sits on the fence for ages, even though you're LONGING for some form of transformation and supportive community, ask yourself: "Is this the part of me that I want to be in control?"
And if the answer is "NO!", take action. We've made it so ridiculously affordable that there's really no reason not to. Link in bio. 🤍

If you feel a gnawing sense that you are in the wrong place...
that you have failed to live up to your potential...
..consider that these painful feelings are not evidence of your brokenness.
They are evidence that you are aware of a gap, that you long for growth, that some part of you refuses to settle for a life smaller than what you sense is possible.
And it IS possible.
You are gifted. EVERYONE is.
You just have some old programs and mental constructs getting in the way of you expressing those gifts.
And this is MY gift. Clearing that s**t out of the system, so you can get on with living the life you dream about.

"Aly, I want to express my deepest gratitude for the journey we have shared together. Working with you has truly changed my life. When I first started this path, I could not have imagined how much my quality of life would improve in such a profound and meaningful way.
Your guidance has helped me become more gentle and compassionate with myself. I've learned to approach challenges with greater serenity and courage, and this shift has made a real difference to me.
Professionally, I can also feel the positive impact—my career is evolving in a direction that feels more aligned and fulfilling.
What makes you truly special is the way you show up—with love, kindness, and infinite patience. The way you support and hold space made me feel deeply seen, understood, and loved. That feeling is rare and invaluable, and I will carry it with me always.
Aly has a unique gift: the ability to guide others gently and clearly, helping them reconnect with their own inner wisdom and strength. Through her presence and intuition, she creates the space for true awareness and transformation and I highly recommend anyone who feels stuck, uncertain, or at a crossroads to work with Aly.
Thank you for everything. I feel incredibly fortunate to have crossed paths with you.
love, Lucia"
Thank you dear for the beautiful testimonial, my heart is aglow! 🤍✨

When you feel triggered, pause and ask:
“What lens am I viewing others / the world through?”
“What if I stopped looking for who they once were and got curious about who they’re becoming?”
“Am I predicting an outcome and then projecting that outward … or am I perceiving "what is"?”
My name is Aly Hazeltree, I am a Meditation Teacher, Holistic Healing Practitioner, Writer and Yogi from London. I have enjoyed living in and co-creating ‘intentional communities’ in S.E Asia for the last few years, and am now based mostly in Koh Phangan, Thailand, while traveling and teaching meditation retreats around the world the rest of the year.
I am a Reiki Master, EFT Level 3 Practitioner and 3 Principles Change Catalyst (also known as the Inside out Understanding). Additionally I facilitate Authentic Relating Games and empathic listening events to share my passion for authentic, rich and compassionate communication.
I began my meditation practice around 13 years ago, initially in the ‘Insight’ Buddhist tradition, and for the last 5 years have been teaching a diverse range of meditation techniques and practices; from mindfulness techniques aimed at re-wiring your neural pathways, in order to train the brain out of it's hard-wired 'negativity bias', to ‘Inner Walk’ walking meditation, Dhamma talks and self-compassion workshops.
I offer one-on-one coaching sessions in person and on Skype to support people experiencing challenges, obstacles or life-changes.
Please contact me via FB messenger or through my website http://awakenwithaly.com with any questions and I will answer you as soon as I can.
