The fragmented parts of us..

We have been taught by society to identify more with our personality rather than our essence. I believe this is why so many of us feel like our life is falling apart when we have a change in relationship job or another major role that we’ve been playing. It’s a real dark night of the soul kind of moment.

Is your procrastination a freeze response?

Sometimes we have such a long list of things to do that we feel overwhelmed and we don’t do any of them. We can instead want to do the washing, tidy the house, go for a walk mode alone, but we’re not addressing that huge to-do list. Generally we consider this to be lazy, avoiding doing the ‘hard work’ we need to do. We can speak down to ourselves and question our self worth. 

It can be really frustrating. But have you ever considered that maybe your body is in a state of overwhelm and going into freeze response?

The Unconscious Super Conscious and Spirituality

There are so many parts of the superconscious world that were unconscious us. And I believe that this is where a lot of faith comes into play. Sometimes we can’t see the way. Sometimes we do need to trust in a force greater than ourselves and this is a really important part of spirituality.

Modern Spirituality and Sensitivity to Religious Beliefs

When I work with people, I always ask about their cultural religious beliefs. Some people are curious about if they work with the spiritual mentor, am I going to be forcing my beliefs upon them. This is certainly not the case. 

The spirituality that I have learnt and embodied runs through all religions. So I’m always culturally sensitive to ask my clients, what are their current religious beliefs, rituals, ceremonies, which words do they prefer to use.

The Unconscious Subconscious and Spirituality

When we come to do the healing work and create metacognition (awareness of our own thoughts and self limiting beliefs), we naturally start to come into Consciousness Awareness.

Consciousness Awareness is really the gateway to spirituality, because when, we are, at the very centre of our being this is where we can connect with the unified, field and energy of the universe, we take energy from that unified field, and that is ultimately what helps us to reprogram re-organise and empower ourselves.

Spiritual Nutrition for Gemini Season

Gemini season is here. In astrology the element is air and the modality is mutable - so gemini is literally like a changing breeze. It’s ruler Mercury is related to the mind, so we can see this as changing ideas, changing the mind, wanting to do both “this” and “that”.

However we when become still in that breeze, it means we can receive a multitude of insights and intuitions we remain receptive, rather than active in our thinking.

Is a certain placement in Astrology ‘bad’?

Is a certain placement in Astrology ‘bad’?

I get this question almost every time I read a chart. People are worried that they have been cursed or doomed to not be happy and ask if a certain placement in astrology is bad.

If I have Venus conjunct Chiron am I doomed in love? I have Chiron in the 7th house, what does that mean I’ll always be hurt in relationships.

Mercury Retrograde - A Time To Lean In

It’s time to lean in. Mercury Retrograde is here and it signals a time to slow down and go inward, and listen. I love the symbol of mercury - with it’s little antenna receiving information and grounding into earth.

The yang expression of Mercury to me feels like picking up ideas and information from the outer world - the yin version is tuning in and being receptive to our inner space and inner landscape. Being quiet enough to listen, to receive.

Spiritual Nutrition for Aries Season

Aries is the first sign in the astrological zodiac, so coming into the season of this sign, it’s the start of a whole new astrological cycle as we journey through each other signs again. Aries is a fire sign so full of passion, enthusiasm. It’s energy is cardinal so it’s the start of something new, a pioneering energy with futuristic thinking.

From a Spiritual Nutrition point of view there can be a tendency to get stuck in the egoic part of our identity, but the flip side is that is is a rich time to be in our individual being - the eternal part of us that houses the gifts and talents that no one can take from us - just make sure the ego doesn’t get too carried away with these gifts and prostitute them for attention.
