Sometimes, the soul needs a winter, even before the physical season itself.
It's a season in life of stillness, surrender and letting go.
A time to turn inward, shed what no longer serves us and reconnect with the deepest parts of ourselves.
The winter within should not be avoided.
The spring will show its divine purpose.

I’ve learned that not everything I desire is meant to happen right now. Some seasons are not meant for blooming, but for grounding, healing and becoming.
I cannot force what needs time.
Roots are growing, even when nothing shows.

“The arrow that goes the furthest gets pulled back the most.” 🏹

Sometimes the biggest setbacks come right before the biggest breakthrough.
The further you are meant to go, the more life may test your strength, patience and resilience.

Being pulled back doesn’t mean you’re losing. Sometimes, it’s preparation for the distance you’re about to cover.
And in this I trust🙌

🍂Oh Autumn, how I feel you🍂
Your winds of change rightly coaxing me to let go of it all, that which no longer serves me.

I long to remain in the comfort of my own cover of leaves, the leaves of old behaviours and patterns , but I see their reds, oranges, and yellows as a forewarning of their coming end.

This journey has removed so many layers, and you, dear Autumn, have played your part and now again invite me to release the leaves to dance among your winds.

I absorb the lessons , the nourishment of which my future growth depends on, and draw it deep to my very root. I feel it as we tip toe closer to the balance, the equinox . For now, I am like a child standing in the middle of a see-saw trying to steady myself between darkness and light, masculine and feminine.

I will offer you my leaves soon.
I will be bare and use everything I have within me to live and awaken.

🍂Oh Autumn, how I feel you🍂

🌸Today I am thinking about the busyness of life and for me particularly as a woman, a mother and a business owner. The never ending to do list and rolling thoughts in the mind. The narrative with which we berate ourselves with on top of that.

There is a popular trending reel that depicts a woman mid her work wondering wheather a trip to the hospital would be a nice break from it all. It made me think of the level to which we must justify our stillness and rest.
It has become a trend because we comprehend😞

When will you be worthy enough to rest without guilt?

I share this post because I too find myself at times wrapped in the depts of busyness and seek out a reason for deserving stillness.
The clean house.
The to-do list nearing completion.
The tasks that all tick the good-girl list.
I can rest now because........

I am aware that this goes much deeper, how the body feels in stillness and what it brings into the light even more but for today I just want to share this.

We don’t have to wait until our bodies are exhausted, our minds are overwhelmed or something hurts before we allow ourselves to rest.

Rest doesn’t need to be earned.
You are allowed to pause before you break.
You are allowed to choose softness before you reach your limit.

Let this Sunday be a gentle reminder:

You don’t have to be falling apart to deserve rest. Bí cineálta leat féin.🌸

My work as a Special Needs Assistant and as a Holistic Energy Practitioner may look different, but they are rooted in the same values: compassion, presence, acceptance and supporting others to grow and thrive.

The Sanskrit word Mudita describes this beautifully - finding joy in the happiness, wellbeing and growth of others.

Whether I’m supporting a child or holding space for someone’s healing journey, I am reminded that joy shared is joy multiplied. 🙌

Healing is about allowing yourself to feel, understand and release what is within you.

Because what you process can teach you.
What you suppress will often repeat itself, play out infront of you, through different people, situations and formats until it is finally acknowledged by you.

Feel it.
Process it.
Learn from it.
Let your emotions become wisdom, not patterns.🙌
