1. Spend time in nature.

We adapt naturally like nature. Observe how animals and plants are adapting. In the forest soak in the smells and colours, take deep breaths of fresh air, lean against a tree for support. Charge up on the energy in the wind and waves across the lake. Watch in awe and wonder the changing skies as the mystery of the season unfolds.
 

2. Get lots of sleep, every night.

Die, my love, die.
She lures me in.

Shivers in my body. My head throbs. My eyes sting. 
She lures me in. 

100 things to do.
Expectations. Promises. People need me. 

A heavy heart. A confused mind.
I've been denying her, avoiding her, by all means.

Come my love.
Give me your blood, she whispers.

My grip of resistance weakens. 
With mud under my finger nails, I give in. 

I slide down the slippery slo...

Imagine for a moment...

Imagine a world where you feel intrinsically safe and welcome.
What would that feel like in your body? 

Imagine that because you feel safe and welcome, you relax deeply in being you.

You focus all of your energy on enjoying, experiencing and sharing the potency of Life and Love in your Being.

You are not trying to prove anything or defend yourself from anything. You do not liv...

Just like me you are doing your best to be a good and loving person.

Just like me you don’t like to feel pain.

Just like me you make mistakes and feel shame and guilt.

Just like me you deserve to be felt, heard, seen and loved for who you are.

The difference for someone living an awakened life is not that they feel no pain but that they transform their pain into a gift and an opportunity fo...

No matter where I am, my practice is to sit there and be still there for a moment.
.
No matter what I am feeling, my practice is to sit and be still with that for a moment.
.
There’s a part of me that doesn’t want to be here now or to feel this now.
.
There’s a part of me that prefers to create another reality and make up stories of what is real. Stories that try to prove my beliefs. Beliefs about who I...

“Let it go my love,” she whispers, “let it all go.” She caresses me with her gentle waters and soft breeze.
.
I feel the waves of relaxation start to move through my body.
.
My breath begins to reflect this gentle caress now across my inner landscape.
.
I feel the relaxation wash over my mind.
.
My body sinks deeper into her loving embrace.
.
Like falling back into a safety net, Yes, I am so completely hel...

In December 2013 I sat amongst over 300 people at Christian Pankhurst’s Heart Summit in Holland. I felt a part of me wanting to run screaming out of that huge circular room filled with all these strangers learning to feel more and be present in their hearts.

There was a part of me so afraid to be seen and to feel embarrassed or not good enough or unloveable.

The part of me that liked to keep eve...

It’s a little difficult to describe to the outside world exactly what happens when we go into the Temple of Sacred Womanhood. You see we take together a mystical journey deep into the dark creative depths of the womb.
.
It is by its very nature a unique journey into the unknown every single time. There is nothing we can do to prepare ourselves, and yet everything that has come before has prepared us...

To life and love, I surrender. I open my body to the infinite love-making dance of Shiva-Shakti. This is the purpose of creating time and space for embodiment practices!!!
.
Breath • Movement • Sound • Touch.
.
Nothing feels more important than this – being in my body and experiencing life flow through me as emotion, energy, sensation, sound, vibrations…. LOVE 
.
My practice is simply to open the energy...

So I’d like to share with you today something I am madly passionate about, so much so that I have dedicated (at least) my last 6 years completely to this. (warning: I am madly passionate about this!) 

That something is “Relationships” – how we relate to each other, which of course stems from how we relate to ourselves and Life. I call it “Conscious Connecting”.

I am going to attempt to gradual...
