24.01.2022 REFLECTION AND FORGING FORWARD It’s been a year amiright? As we move toward the end of 2020, it’s a great time to reflect back on the year that’s been, to integrate its lessons and experiences, and to refocus our energies moving forward. If this year were to be summed up in one word, it would be ‘unprecedented’, and yet for many people I’ve spoken with, it has also been a homecoming, a year of returning to what is known and familiar and true. ... We’ve been given an opportunity this year to retreat from the noise and chaos of our regular lives, and to reconnect with our selves and our central forces and desires. In the silence of isolation, we’ve been given an opportunity to explore our shadow selves, to bring to light all of those things that usually simply simmer away in the background. We’ve been invited to reassess our options and priorities, with some of us making massive changes to our lifestyle and career, and some of us anchoring deeper in to the foundations we’d already laid. We’ve been invited to simplify and synthesise, to cast out the old and create the new. Whilst I recognise that for many (myself included) the calamity and chaos of this year has been a source of great fear, uncertainty and frustration, as the year comes to a close, I invite you to reflect upon not only the challenges you have faced this year, but also the lessons you have learned. Perhaps you discovered you have more courage than you thought. Perhaps you found the silence within yourself. Perhaps you practised ingenuity, embraced creativity, formed deeper connections, or faced your fears. Perhaps you smashed some things to pieces and decided to start all over again. Whatever your journey has been, it is worthy of reflection and review. In reflection we not only integrate our experiences but we find the sharp edges to sand down, the openings inviting expansion, and the opportunity to forge a new path forward. So, as we face a still uncertain future, we are also able to anchor in to our lessons, intentions and truths. This might look like setting goals for yourself to achieve. It might look like embracing qualities and strengths within yourself. It might look like aligning with certain lifestyles, attitudes or energies. It can be as conceptual or tangible as you like. What matters is that it contains intention. For me, my future intentions are simple, and are aligned with the qualities of harmony, adventure and expansion. What will you choose moving forward?

24.01.2022 ‘Love is a state of your consciousness when you are joyous, when there is a dance in your being. Something starts vibrating, radiating, from your center; something starts pulsating around you.’ - Osho

24.01.2022 There's a lot of change in the air. Things are transforming but the trajectory is not yet clear. It can be unnerving to be in the flux when you cannot yet see the form, however I believe this is a time for us to sit in trust. We must trust ourselves. We must trust our lives. We must trust that with each step we take forward, that the earth will rise up to meet us, that with each new idea, a space for manifestation will appear. For anyone moving through this energy at the mo...ment, I encourage you to remain grounded and keep checking in with yourself, clearing things as they arise. The new moon arrives tomorrow and will hopefully shed some light for us all.

23.01.2022 As we create physical distance from each other, we are invited to create greater intimacy with our selves. Ill be offering live meditations and discusssions over the coming days and weeks, and would love to hear from you in the comments about the topics you'd like me to cover. Much love to all in these challenging times.

22.01.2022 Pay attention to your desires, however fickle they may seem. They are your heart attempting to speak of greater truths. Pay attention to your environment, to the events in your life. They too are trying to turn you inward. A few days ago I wandered around the city, desiring change. I wanted fresh energy in my life, I wanted more light. I thought about lightening my hair, making it more vibrant. Perhaps that would shine my light in to the world?... What I decided to do instead was give myself a day of rest. I revisited the work of Brené Brown, I stumbled across the work of Marianne Williamson, I watched the Stanford Prison Experiment. I was reminded of the incredible power we have to heal our own lives and to grow our own light, of the responsibility we have to turn inward and to send our loving intention outward. There is no seperation between our everyday life and our spiritual life. There is no seperation between our relationship with our selves and our relationship with others, no seperation between the self and the universe. If we desire in the external we desire internally too. Any imbalance in our environment speaks of imbalance in our own energy. These are the fundamental truths and laws of the universe and I felt their wisdom wash through me as I slept. And thus I awoke this morning in soft white sheets, the gentle morning sun streaming through my skylight. I awoke with fresh energy, literally in to the light. I sat with my wild tangled hair and laughed with the wild tangled roses in the garden as we reminded each other of how perfect life is, of how clever our hearts are to make us think of our hair to remind us we should be thinking of them.

22.01.2022 ‘The heart is a very simple creature, and often her desires are basic...’ New blog post! I blog now. :)

20.01.2022 CREATION We are all creators. In every moment of every day, we are all, every one of us, creating. ... Within the animal totem system there is the spider. The spider, today, lives in the web he created in the past. The spider, today, creates the web he will reside in in the future. It always amazes me when people come in for a reading and ask. What does the universe have in store for me? What does it want me to do? (The unsaid part being, without me personally doing, deciding, or actioning anything.) And whilst its not a bad question, its not an empowered or affirming question. When we ask what does the universe want me to do?, what we are really asking is what web will I randomly land in, and, will I like it? The better question to contemplate is what web am I, personally, creating right now? Further, How can I finetune this web? How can I learn to craft the one I truly desire? Whilst I do believe that there are times in our lives where spirit has a very specific intention for us and is willing to throw our shit in the air to get us there, I also believe that at least 80% (if not 90 or even 95%) of the choices we make are entirely our own. We are creatures of free will. That is the entire point of the human experience. Sure the universe is invested in our growth, but my experience has been that its more interested in the growth itself than in the manner in which we create or experience this growth. The universe is not a dictator or director, its a witness and supporter. Were the ones driving the action. You wanna learn through love? Great! The universe will support you in that and create opportunities for that to happen. Wanna learn through pain? Great! The universe will support and assist you in that also. Its less interested in process than it is in outcome and will assist in actioning whatever you choose. When you choose to abdicate your power to an outside force, you choose to become a piece of driftwood, directed by the tide and forced to assess your assigned environment once you arrive there. Fuck that. I have no wish to drift. I have no interest in being dictated to, and I have no desire to make a foreign web my home. Instead I extend my energies. Instead I create my intended futures and I craft my input in that direction. I assess my web, contemplate its improvements and set out to make them happen. And just like the spider throws his web with no understanding from whence this thread appears, I craft my life with little understanding of, but with complete faith in, the forces that equip me to create and cultivate these changes. And I suggest you do the same. Do not abdicate your power, but contain it. Create your futures. Create your outcomes. Create. Create! CREATE! The universe will support and assist you in whatever you choose. So choose wisely and create beautifully.

20.01.2022 BEHAVIOUR Okay, heres the thing.. there comes a time at which the spiritual, emotional, and psychological work needs to stop, and that the physical work needs to begin. Our patterns might have very deep and complex roots, but they play out in very tangible and present ways. So, sure you need to understand the reasons and triggers for these patterns, but it is not until you dig in and do the hard yards and work on the behaviour itself that you will start to see any real and ...Continue reading

17.01.2022 Did some fun work today with a client's inner child, who was very clear about wanting all the blue crystals in the crystal bowl. Bless.

16.01.2022 CHANGE Ive been thinking a lot lately about change, the bend and stretch of it all, the expansion and contraction of it and the emotional upheaval that it creates. Im witnessing a lot of people at the moment on the precipice of change, and not just small change but large, life altering, opening to entirely new ways of being in the world change.... Its both an exciting and terrifying place to be. Theres a natural fear that comes with change and its pretty base in its nature. Put simply, monkey mind wants to keep you safe. Monkey mind knows that somewhere out there, there are tigers, but that there are none where he is right now, so monkey mind will hedge his bets and do everything in his power to keep you where you are. Makes sense right? Whilst we long for growth, our survival instinct cautions (scares) us to remain in the familiar. What Ive been noticing lately however is not just this natural fear, but entire emotional overwhelm. And what Ive come to realize is that the enormity of feeling around large change is not just the desire to remain safe, but the actual inability to contain the energies of the new. As we step in to opening ourselves to love, taking on a big project or enacting any other large change, we are actually creating and stepping in to an entirely new realm and inviting in larger and stronger forces, energies and emotions. Thus the overwhelm. A cup can only hold as much as a cup can hold. And so when you try to pour the ocean in to a cup, the overflow is the chaos you feel around you. We become flooded, and thus the feeling of being unable to find our feet. And so the solution here, as with most other things, is to find your feet. To ground and stabilize yourself. To become still. To recognize this influx of new energy and instead of trying to tame it or swim against it, to actually create space for it, to channel it, to increase the edges of the cup to match its contents. You can do this through visualization, projecting yourself in to your future creation and seeing and feeling the details of it all to make it a more familiar space for yourself. You can use breath to extend your energy field and to pass these energies through you, exhaling out the overflow. Any form of movement is great for processing and transforming energy, whether that be running, dancing, or simply pushing your feet in to the ground. The main thing really to remember is that emotion is simply emotion. That energy is simply energy. The recognition of these sensations is not necessarily a warning sign or stop sign, but potentially just a sign that you are growing and that you need to adjust your edges accordingly.

14.01.2022 VULNERABILITY - NEW MOON IN CANCER There are those who believe that vulnerability is our greatest strength, and, whilst these people are unquestionably correct, there are still those of us who would prefer to kick vulnerability in the shins and be on our merry way. Tonight's New Moon in Cancer is a particularly emotional moon that is asking us to sink deep in to our depths, embrace our shadows and heal our hearts to manifest deep and lasting change.... Whilst this all sounds lovely in theory, there can be great fear arise around such vulnerability - fear of being seen, fear of being hurt, fear of sinking too deep and becoming overwhelmed. It's a question of safety, and it's the reason we put on our armour, pull up our socks and ignore the call of our hearts. It's a lot easier to say, 'I don't care' than it is to say 'I do'. It's a lot easier to say 'see ya later' than it is to say 'please stay'. And so when faced with emotions that we do not want to face, we are often all too ready to say 'see ya later', to shrug with nonchalance, to say 'I never liked you anyway.' And it's sad, it really is, because when we march forward in defiance, we choose for ourselves a circular route. The warrior who refuses to remove his armour is doomed to perpetually reopen his wounds. Annoying, isn't it? And thus what we perceive to be our strength, this ability to keep marching forward, is not our strength at all. What we perceive to be our strength is nothing but Waiting For Godot, it's nothing but Sisyphus with his boulder and his hill. So the only real choice we have my loves is to carefully remove our armour, to sink deep in to our shadow, to tend to our wounds, to admit softly 'I am hurt,' and finally, to heal. When we allow ourselves to feel our sadness, our vulnerability, our fear, we allow ourselves to fully accept, embrace and integrate these emotions. And once we integrate them, we evolve through them. And once we evolve through them we can let them go, let that tardy Godot find his own way home, let that damn boulder roll all the way down the hill and away across the lands. So tonight is not the night to say 'I don't care,' tonight is not the night to say, 'oh well', tonight my loves is the night to sit in silence, to sit with yourself and have a gentle conversation, to listen to your grievances, to listen to your hurts, to nod and say 'I hear you, I understand. Please tell me what you need moving forward.'

14.01.2022 I recently celebrated the two year anniversary of my clinic, and whilst I am still yet to mark the occasion in any formal way, as I stand here tonight I feel a certain sentimentality, part of which is gratitude, but, overwhelmingly it is the feeling that my heart is at home.

13.01.2022 There is a lot of hurt doing the rounds at the moment. And I'm not talking ego jabs. I'm talking deep emotional hurt. It's presenting itself in the forms of betrayal, active violation, and nonchalance. I'm seeing it on a global scale, but also on a very local and very personal level. ... And it sucks. I urge you all, please, grab someone you love and smooch them. Smother them. Make them sick with your love. Life can be a bit of a jerk sometimes. Please make an effort this week to be the person who reverses the hurt of the jerk. The only way to heal hatred is with love. The only way to reverse rejection is with acceptance. Please take a page from Bill and Ted's book and please just be excellent to each other.

10.01.2022 Love is a state of your consciousness when you are joyous, when there is a dance in your being. Something starts vibrating, radiating, from your center; something starts pulsating around you. - Osho

10.01.2022 I recently read Big Magic by Elizabeth Gilbert, which discusses our relationship with inspiration and creativity. She suggests that, rather than playing ourselves in to the cliché of the tortured artist, forever attempting to chase down and strangle our muse, that we instead see our relationship with creativity as symbiotic. To paraphrase, the thing you seek, also seeks you. The thing you love, also loves you. Rather than attempt to stalk, sneak up up on and tame the wildne...ss of your desire, understand that you only know of it because it first snuck up on you, and stretched a tender hand of inspiration in your direction, in the hope that you would respond by outstretching a hand of your own. 'ET phone home' et cetera.

09.01.2022 Our adaptability is amazing. I went for a massage this afternoon, and it wasn't until I walked out with a fancy new bendy neck, that I realized just how much stress the muscles had been holding. Tension there had become my normal. I think it's the same with our emotional world. We pile stress on top of fear on top of sadness, each time adapting to this weight, believing it to be our normal or neutral state, forgetting how it feels to be free. Today was a lovely reminder of ...the need for constant self care, the need to consistently check in with ourselves to see how we're really holding up rather than automatically assuming that we're fine. Untangling those knots feels amazing.

09.01.2022 There's big energy on the Earth today, and it's asking you to shake things up. Shed those skins, however painful it may be. Shed those skins without the promise, but with the hope, that there is something better.

08.01.2022 Lately I've been spending my free time just pottering around. I've propagated some ivy and cacti, I've started writing again, I've set some wine bottles on fire to turn them in to vases, and used oil pastels to chart the lunar year. None of these projects are particularly impressive or profound. But they are soothing, they are rewarding, they are grounding. I've been reminded this week of the beauty of simplicity, the freedom that comes with doing things 'just coz'.... My hands have been itchy with energy, so I have plunged them in water, immersed them in soil, engaged them in tying and lifting and grabbing and pressing. And it's been beautiful. Too often we focus on our bodies in terms of health, or aesthetics or the pursuit of sexual pleasure, and don't get me wrong here, I'm a big fan of alllll those things. But I think sometimes we forget that our body has its own consciousness, it's own needs, desires and whims. So I encourage you to take some time over the next week to engage your body in play. Touch things, jump over things, make things, break things, for no other reason than to indulge your body's inner child and innate adventurer. Re-engage with your body in a meaningful way. I promise you, it's fun.

06.01.2022 New website now live!

05.01.2022 Mmkay.. For those playing along at home, I think I've figured out the reason why the veil is so thick at the moment. I started a new course last night that I can tell will be confronting for me. The facilitator stated twice that 'we teach what we most need to learn'. Anyone who has worked with me will know that my core teachings are self awareness, self responsibility and self accountability. What you may not know is that in my own life I struggle with these things myself. T...here is a part of me that loves to avoid, blame and ignore. There is a part of me desperate to avoid admitting to wrongdoing, wanting instead to be the puritanical virgin, the victim. I've been this way since I was a kid, and it's time for it to stop. The revelation at this time is that there is no point manifesting the new when we build it on the blueprints of the old. The issues that have arisen in our previous situations will arise in the new ones, because these issues are our modus operandi that we take with us everywhere. And when there is such big magic in the air, it wants to land itself in a place where it can be honored. Our lives want things to work for us, so they're holding off on moving forward until we as individuals are ready to move forward. I said yesterday that we need to learn to trust ourselves. I will update that today to we need to make the changes necessary in our selves so that we can fully trust ourselves. We're all flawed peeps just doing the best that we can, so please don't read this as encouragement to retrieve the whip. My guess is that we're probably already whipping ourselves too much already. Please put down the whip. What I encourage you to do instead, in a space of acceptance and love, is to look at those parts of your life that aren't working or where you most desire change. Acknowledge the role you have played in manifesting this. Acknowledge the patterns at play. Acknowledge how deeply these patterns are embedded and how far their influence stretches. When we become aware we can become responsible. When we become responsible we can become accountable. It is time now for the deep work. With the deep work comes the deep transformation comes the deep and infinite magic. And I know we all want the deep and infinite magic. Today's new moon is such a beautiful beautiful opportunity to claim these insights and invite the necessary changes to land gently.

03.01.2022 Self responsibility is the name of the game folks. You get what you want when you do for yourself what you wish others would do for you.

03.01.2022 OWNING HONESTY I'm currently enjoying the experience of exploring unflinching honesty with a man. At times it can be confronting, at times comforting and, at times, it can be downright discomforting. What it is at all times however, is enlightening. ...Continue reading

03.01.2022 MAKING MEANING It seems like there are a few people at the moment who are struggling with purpose, or, as one of my clients put it, having an early mid life crisis. It can be hard to know sometimes what the point of it all is. According to some schools of thought, there is no point, there only is. Im not sure I agree with that completely, but I also dont subscribe to the idea that we all have some grand mission to carry out, some rich and defining purpose to be fulfilled ...Continue reading

02.01.2022 As the meteor shower reveals herself in the early hours of tomorrow morning, so too are we introduced to the Yoni moon. This new moon brings ecstatic and accelerated change. A time of manifestation, gestation and birthing. With such a feminine energy at play I encourage you to surrender. Surrender control. ... Surrender the need to know. Lay back. Inhale. Bring in, hold on, let go, birth out. We are at our most magical when we surrender to the feminine flow and gratefully accept her gifts. Everything is fertile now. Everything is flowing. Surrender to her River, plant your seeds and let them grow.

02.01.2022 I feel blessed to have spent the day yesterday with a group of really wonderful women who came together to share, express and evolve

01.01.2022 Venus in retrograde and a moon turned blue give us plenty to howl about tonight. Whilst any full moon is a great time for clearing, and there are plenty of great articles explaining the planetary influences at play in this one, after 8hrs of readings today I wanted to share with you my personal impressions of what I have lovingly renamed the Lose Your Illusion Moon. Whilst romantic relationships are still playing a prominent role, I believe the current focus is primarily our... relationship with our truth. We're all very skilled storytellers and often tell ourselves some pretty tall tales. Whether it's convincing ourselves that we're somehow less worthy, capable, or deserving than others, or whether we're predicting incredibly positive outcomes in the face of very different evidence, we tend to cling tight to our fables. So, under the light of this blue moon, I lovingly encourage you to drop the bs. Stop talking yourself in to things. Stop talking yourself out of things. Don't gloss over issues, and don't create them either. Too many times I see people make excuses for people who have hurt them, invent romantic attentions that simply are not there, or talk themselves out of doing something they love for fear they are not good enough. Too many times I hear people blame other people for their misery, or blame themselves for somebody else's. We need to stop telling ourselves stories and start telling ourselves truths, even if they're hard truths. Be honest about who you are and what you want. Be clear in what you expect and what you will accept. Neither underestimate yourself or over estimate others. If something isn't working, either fix it or let it go. Do for yourself at least as much as you do for others, and always do for yourself what you wish others would do for you. We are all unique, deserving, worthy and lovable. We are all able to do what we want, get what we want and be who we want. The way to get anywhere is to simply start by being honest with where we are. Tough truths tonight my friends, but infinite possibilities. So howl out your sorrows, howl out your dreams, howl out your fears and your hopes. Wash them all clean in ultimate truth so you can truly walk toward creating the future of your choosing. Ps. Join me in the comments to play Lose Your Illusion and nominate a bs story you're ready to stop telling yourself.

01.01.2022 We Become By Doing. Last night my flatmate found me in the kitchen, surrounded by chicken and chia and greens. I was prepping breakfasts, lunches and smoothies for the next few days and I explained to him that I was trying to become 'one of those people who does things like this'. Gesturing at my work station, his response was simple.. 'you are one of those people.'... And in that moment, the seemingly eternal chasm between where I was and where I wanted to be, simply was no more. In the act of doing, I had become. Simple right? There are a lot of teachings around promoting the power of intention, and whilst intention is all well and good, without action it is meaningless. 'One of these days' is tantamount to 'should'; both imply a desire and both immediately dismiss any attempt to realize this desire. Our shoulds and one days exist only in our thought forms, they float in the stratosphere with our maybes and if onlys, a series of doors that we've opened but never walked through. And if there's anything that I've learnt through the thousand conversations I have every year, it's that the greatest cause of discontent is having too many open doors. So the solution is simple, start walking. Always wanted to be an author? Write a book plan. Guess what, you've just gone from intending to write a book, to becoming a person who is writing a book. Congratulations! Wanna be an expert in your field? Pioneer a project. Wanna get fit? Go for a run. But now, you need to do it now. You need to do it today, and you need to do it tomorrow, and you need to do it the day after tomorrow too. You don't have to be an expert runner today, and you don't have to run far. You don't have to win a nobel prize for your first research project, or a Pulitzer for your novel. But you do need to reach for that door handle and you do need to step across the hearth. Because walking that hallway will lead you to another, and another and another. And behind each new door is a new opportunity to expand, to experience and to evolve. And what are we here for if not to evolve. So start small, or start large, it really doesn't matter. What matters is simply that you start. What matters is plucking that glorious dream from the stratosphere and bringing it down in to the physical realm. What matters is that you embody this vision. It is only through embodiment that we become.
