all one...
This book is always so timely... Last week my friend added a post to this page about being alone, the acceptance of being alone, and then I read this!
I am an introvert anyway, so being alone is always going to be something I love, but after having kids it has become THE biggest luxury!
We have had so much sickness these past weeks I toyed with the idea of running away to a hotel somewhere just to get some alone time... There has been very little meditation, almost no exercise, it has been a real struggle... And the minute I get that time to be all one, everything seems infinitely brighter!

release...
All of this great talk about looking after ourselves, lately I have really sucked at this... And on top of that, some crazy family stuff, plus work, and running the Mother's Day stall at school... Overwhelmed tonight...
Just finished chanting and meditating on this card from my Mudras deck... I really didn't love this deck when I got it, but it is fast becoming my favourite thing!
Release... This hand position while chanting ommmmm... Now I'm ready for bed ☺️

Just going to go slow and steady through this one, checking everything twice! Until May 22...
home...
It's so important that we take time to ourselves, it can be so very hard, especially if you have a family, busy job, lots of commitments, but these past few weeks of having a sick family has really driven it home for me...
My 'home' at this stage in my life is just shutting our bedroom door... Taking a minute to read, heal or play with my cards, going to a yoga class, in summer it can be as little as watering my garden... But I think that as my children grow, my needs will be more fully realised... I would love to go to a yoga retreat every year, and that's definitely something I will work towards when my husbands work is more secure and the children grow... But for now, moments alone will have to do!

healers...
A couple of years ago I read a book called Your Souls Plan, it was a game changer... Like every thought I ever had about reincarnation was all in one place...
When I read this quote, it makes me think about who I would have been had my Dad made the choice to live...
His death totally formed who I am, and pointed me on this path... I always wanted to help people, when I was little I wanted to be a psychologist, but without this trauma, and working through it, I wouldn't have this wealth of experience to draw from when seeing clients, at my day job or in my reiki practice... So I have him to thank for that... It also proves that there are different ways to deal with trauma... I always suggest going deep into your feelings about it, feel them, confront them, challenge them, learn from them... The worst thing to ever happen might just be the best thing that ever happened to your soul...
