Solitude is one of the most precious things in the human spirit. It is different from loneliness. When you are lonely, you become acutely conscious of your own separation. Solitude can be a homecoming to your own deepest belonging. One of the lovely things about us as individuals is the incommensurable in us. In each person, there is a point of absolute nonconnection with everything else and with everyone. This is fascinating and frightening. It means that we cannot continue to seek outside ourselves for things we need from within. The blessings for which we hunger are not to be found in other places or people. These gifts can only be given to you by yourself. They are at home at the hearth of your soul.

Being able to sit with my own mind has given me the ability to confront the proverbial demons and dragons that lurk about in there.
Once we understand the dragons of our mind, they are most often powerless over us.
We then find that our entire journey we spent running from them or attempting to slay them were futile.
Once we understand them, we can transform them and use the powerful energy to empower ourselves.
Be still.⠀

Go where you feel most alive ~
🌿
This time of year brings us so many fresh colours, the different stages of leaves unfurling, the softness to touch.
Early morning choristers waking us gently to the sound our body recognises as safety.
The morning sun streaming through the window, irrespective of real temperature, it fills us with warmth.
Go where you feel most alive ~
🌿
I wonder where that is for you?
A woodland, a beach or top of cliffs watching waves lapping against the sides
Or maybe it’s a beck or a stream, a lovely meadow or across fields where you can see the different shades of land as far as the eye can see and the vast skies meet at the horizon.
Go where you feel most alive ~
🌿
Maybe it’s your garden, maybe it’s a favourite place with friends.
A cuppa with laughter, a place of solitude and comfort?
Thankfully, it is different for everyone ~ I wonder where this is for you. 🌿

The smell was just divine 🌿

By discovering Nature, you discover yourself ~ Maxime Lagace
Spending time within Nature, slowing down and choosing to connect with your environment leads you to connection or reconnection with yourself also.
As the internal noise begins to quieten and your body begins to soften; you have the space to hear your own inner wisdom and become aware of the reflections from Nature.
This is not a switch on or off, it’s a building of relation, time and openness; a journey that once experienced fully is something you will treasure in your life.
