Sacred Waters: A Journey into Water Consciousness

Consider for a moment the difference between water sourced from a natural spring and the water that flows from our taps. Spring water emerges from the earth in a state of purity, imbued with vital energy and mineral content. It's alive, vibrant, and in harmony with its surroundings - it is created slowly. In contrast, tap water often lacks this vitality, having been stripped of its natural properties through filtration processes and chemical additives.

Does your bank account act as a mirror for your subconscious beliefs?

Does your bank account act as a mirror for your subconscious beliefs?

Maybe you have never thought of it before, but it is interesting perhaps for you to ponder: is you bank account, not so much a measure of how hard you work but instead a mirror that reflects back to you your innermost beliefs, thoughts, and emotions about money? In most part, I would imagine if you really let yourself go deep into your conditioning, you would agree. This is because beneath the surface of all of us lies a complex network of subconscious patterns dictating our financial reality. Indeed, our relationship with money is deeply rooted in our subconscious, often influencing our financial decisions without us even realising it.

The Feminine and Money: Breaking through the stories we hold

Throughout history, women have encountered numerous obstacles that have impeded their financial autonomy and hindered their ability to ‘play’ in the field of money and abundance. However, it's equally important for me to note upfront that embracing feminine energy in money doesn't necessarily mean emulating traditional masculine paths to financial success.

Let’s explore this a little here:

Embracing the Circle of Life: My Journey Back to Eating Meat

In a world where dietary choices often spark heated debates and polarised opinions, sharing this with you has been considered and difficult to come to, as my decision to no longer be vegan was in fact itself. However, my journey back to eating meat has been one of personal revelation and connection to what to me feels very true to say as the natural order of life. From vegetarianism to veganism and back again, my dietary path has been a winding road shaped by compassion, prioritising the health of me and my family, and a deepening understanding of our relationship with the environment and Mother Nature.

Fasting with your Cycle

The reason I am doing it is multi-faceted. Since I had Savannah eight years ago, despite my diet being excellent, my body has felt out of balance. I have changed various things, but nothing has really worked. So the main pull for me was healing the imbalance in my body. Our body’s main priority when we have food in us is digestion. When we fast then we allow our bodies to focus instead on healing.

Can life be this good?

It is the 13th March and life this month, so far, has been about friendship and fun. When we get home next Wednesday, I have a day of calls the following day, and then on the Friday the children go to Josh's mum's house so Josh and I can have our monthly connection time (see the blog I wrote about ‘The Thread of Intimacy" linked below). This means that it won’t be until the 21st March that life goes ‘back to normal’ and I sit and do concentrated periods of work again. I have of course been working in dribs and drabs during the first part of the month

Liberation through nudity

Yup! On Friday I was booked in with all my freedom loving friends (those of us who have carried on living life together over the last two years, allowing our children to play with their friends, and collectively continuing to know the beauty of a hug!), to go to Harrogate Turkish Baths. It was already a pretty big deal for me, because to wear a swimming costume in front of other people for an extended period of time (not just putting it on and quickly jumping into a pool before someone saw me), has always felt overwhelming. I suffered with an eating disorder in my teens and twenties, and the hang up it has left me with around my body still remains.

The gift of time

Last November I turned 40, and I received so many wonderful gifts! I feel so truly honoured to have such incredible friends + family in my life. One of my closest friends from when I first had Caleb, one of the kindest women I will ever meet, Anna, wrote to me + said to me that her gift to me was time. She is a beautiful artist + she offered me the opportunity to spend time with her in her studio for the day. I was so excited + yesterday was the day. I want to share with you my experience.

The Mothership - an evolution

When I first created The Mothership, some of you may remember that I had a great deal come up for me emotionally, as I was presenting her to the world. She came to me to bring her into the world, but it wasn't until I was in the process of doing so, that I realised that she was me, and by sharing her, by asking other women to join her world, I was laying myself out to full scrutiny + rejection.

Chocolate Jaffa Jelly Ears

For those who don't know, Jelly Ears, also known as Wood Ears, are mushrooms. If you look below you will see what they look like in the wild. They are easy to identify, and a safe starter mushroom to forage if you follow some simple instructions. I have linked a video up below to help you learn about them, as well as a couple starter books to begin foraging for mushrooms.

Is now the right time to get busy again?

Is now the right time to get busy again?

Every year from Christmas to early January, I have little to do with my phone, and certainly nothing to do with work. Over the few days of Christmas itself, I have nothing to do with my phone at all. It feels so incongruent to me to be near it. In fact generally I dislike my phone. I like nothing more than to leave it behind when I go out (once to my misfortune as I got a flat tire, but I made it through with the help of a friendly passer by!). The more I connect to nature through my garden and through foraging, the more of a distaste I have for distraction through being online. That deals with my phone though, what about work?

Guide or By-stander?

Guide or By-stander?

I was replying to a message Gus left me, and the realisation came to me that we have moved from the paradigm of ‘controlling’ our children (not good!), to being scared by-standers in their lives! We fear being the overbearing parents of the generations before, which many of us rightly have trauma associated with, on top of societal pressure to pander to our children's every whim. We have therefore moved from one extreme to another, and it has led us to being a by-stander in our child's journey through developing their beliefs and values.

Evolution

Since motherhood I have been presented with many seasons of deep reflection + contemplation. Each time I have been thrown into uncertainty + inadequacy, but I have always welcomed these moments with curiosity + intrigue. I have always had a sense that good was coming as a result of them, and indeed each time these seasons have completed, I have come out as a truer + more authentic version of myself.

Hope

This last week + a half has felt heavy at times, which I think has been experienced by many people recently. With the announcements from Austria + Germany about mandatory j@bs, and seeing the horror happening in Australia, as well as ‘Moronic’ now coming into play, it has been hard at times to stay positive.

Mother Line Fruit Salad

Today I made a video teaching you how to prepare oranges the old fashioned way. I put a sped up video of me doing it on my Insta stories a couple of weeks ago + so many of you asked me to make a slower tutorial, so I obliged of course. I have included it here with a ‘recipe’ to turn it into fruit salad. The remembrance of preparing foods from the Earth, within the walls of our homes, and teaching that to our children, is fundamental for the health of humanity. It’s this lost knowledge that has us in the state we are in today, and it’s time to bring it back. If we all start with what seems like 4 simple oranges, we will create momentous change - I truly believe it!

Rest, Connection + Surrender

This week we went to celebrate our 8th year anniversary. We had 3 nights alone. Josh + I try and make sure we have a weekend alone at least once a month. With working from home, and homeschooling our children, as well as me still co-sleeping with them both, and Josh being in Savannah's bed as a result, we feel deeply the need to have that time alone.

Vulnerability

As humans we are designed to be connected to our surroundings, to nature, to the food that nature provides. Going out for a walk + slowly moving through the land, mindfully, looking around with calm purpose, is incredibly meditative. It is SO calming for the nervous system, I cannot tell you. It is SO natural! It is a forgotten part of who we are, but it is one that I am ready to fully remember, and I am committed to helping others do the same.
