Inner Critic

Our inner critic is a voice inside our head that can undermine our confidence and self-esteem. It’s the aspect of ourselves that dwells on our shortcomings and highlights our flaws and inadequacies. This annoying voice tells us we must be more talented, intelligent, strong, beautiful, and successful. As human beings, it’s natural to experience self-doubt […]

Benefits of Holding Space

In today’s fast-paced world, we often rush from one thing to the next, constantly moving and scanning life without taking a moment to connect, listen, focus, pause or reflect. This situation can leave us feeling isolated, overwhelmed and stressed.  We increase understanding and reduce stress when we can hold space and create a safe and […]

The Guest in Your Mind

My noisy guest comes and goes and frequently overstays her welcome. Sometimes she is fun to be around. We laugh, make plans, celebrate, and sometimes she is painful. She does not want to get up early and doesn’t like to meditate. She just wants to do nothing. I tell her how well I have done […]

It’s 2023

Hi.  Great to be sharing 2023 with you.  I am happy to be back on board after a beautiful, rich, fulfilling time with family and friends.  I started 2023 with a new approach. I usually get focused, set my goals and intentions, and focus on what I want and want to achieve. After contemplating the […]

Uplift This Festive Season With Our Presence

I sat down to write a Christmas blog, and instead, I found myself reading ‘You Were Made for  This’ by Clarissa Pinkola Estes. I thought that was how I wanted to experience this festive season as a fully lit soul, rooted in the moment and radiating light.     Christmas can be a time of great intensity […]

Holding Space

The concept of holding space is growing in popularity, with most people I come across have some understanding of it.  Holding space means being present, bearing witness, practising radical listening, and validating someone else’s state without agenda and with awareness. You have probably had the powerful experience of being held in a gentle and supportive […]

Spiral

I want to share with you why I chose a spiral for my logo.   The truth is, my attention is drawn to the shape. It intrigues me. I love seeing it in nature, and sometimes I feel like my life is a spiral spinning clockwise and then anti-clockwise.  The spiral depicts my never-ending journey of […]

The Most Important Thing

I have had pain in my shoulder for a while, and it is getting increasingly bothersome. And still, I wait to seek help.   If I were talking to a friend, I would offer clear advice, “go and see a physiotherapist, doctor someone”, but since I am talking to myself, it is not so clear. […]

How Are You Going?

How are you going? My mind whispers ‘how are you going’, and I immediately respond – ‘GOOD’. ‘How are you going?’, ‘Good.’ ‘How are you going?’, ‘Good.’ The voice in my head gets louder. ‘How are you REALLY going?’ My surface dweller thinks I am good, relationship good, family good, life is good, and that is […]

Who Said I Should?

The words that we attach to our experience become our experience.    The way we speak is so much a reflection of how we think that when we change our language, we change how we feel, think and act. I have become more aware of my language and the impact this language has emotionally, mentally and […]
