Wake Up! Wake Up! Wake Up!

Posted on February 12, 2025February 12, 2025 by Janet

These words have become like a Mantra over the last few years. So, Wake Up to what exactly? I would say, ‘Wake up to what exactly?’  Because I can identify 2 different meanings to the words ‘Wake up!’ There is so much going on in the world right now that it can lead to confusion. …

Explore the Boundless Horizons of the Mind

Posted on October 21, 2024October 21, 2024 by Janet

Recently I saw the Northern Lights and at one point they looked like a veil separating dimensions.  For a short while I had a feeling of vastness – of dimensions beyond dimensions! It was a moment of AWWW.   A wonderful moment, when you realise the truth of something bigger than all of us here on earth. …

Hindu Goddess Kali representing fierce rage in this blog

The rumbles of Rage

Posted on September 18, 2024September 18, 2024 by Janet

I can only speak from a female’s perspective on the rumbles of rage. The Hindu Goddess Kali (featured in the set image) in this blog, represents fierce rage; the dark side of the ego. However she also represents the Divine Mother, the dynamic power of change, and liberation through ”dying”of the egoic self. Rage can…

Thoughts.

Posted on August 7, 2024August 7, 2024 by Janet

Thoughts are simply energy, they are not even yours! Thoughts derive from the collective universal bank of thinking. Millions of us are thinking/feeling the same thing at the same time. The same subject the same judgement, the same emotion. So thoughts cause emotions which then affect our behaviour. When a population becomes angry about something,…

Are Human Beings all One?

Posted on July 31, 2024July 31, 2024 by Janet

Instead of recognising the inate and identical Divinity in all Human Beings, people tend to see other people as being higher or lower. For example: He is more educated or he is less educated. She is more wealthy or she is less wealthy. I belong to this ethnic group and they belong to that ethnic…

Exploring Desire and Avoidance

Posted on June 28, 2024June 28, 2024 by Janet

In this blog we are exploring desire and avoidance. So what does that mean? After all, we like and avoid things every day. However it is the COMPULSION to chase after something we desire or the COMPULSION to avoid or run away from something we do not like, that ultimately causes us unhappiness or suffering….

Yoga philosophy is a rich and ancient tradition that encompasses much more than just physical postures. At its core, yoga is about achieving union between the mind, body, and spirit. Yoga is Mindfulness, a school of Mindfulness. One of the key principles of yoga philosophy is the concept of ahimsa, which means non-violence or compassion…

Peace on Earth

Posted on December 18, 2023December 18, 2023 by Janet

As we come to the end of 2023 I feel it has been a very full year. Some of it felt very peaceful and some of it certainly did not. How can we contribute to peace on earth? Does it feel like too big a task? Would you rather just get on with your life?…

How do you know when you're safe?

How do you know when you’re safe?

Posted on July 17, 2023July 17, 2023 by Janet

 When you feel very unsafe your sympathetic nervous system springs into action and prepares you to fight or flight or maybe freeze and/or collapse; your  body tenses up and it becomes difficult to yield to the Earth for support.  We all have varying levels of feeling safe. Whatever makes You feel unsafe may not have…

Brigid - The Divine Feminine Energy

Brigid – The Divine Feminine Energy

Posted on February 2, 2023February 2, 2023 by Janet

I’m no expert on Brigid , born 450 to 521, the Celtic pagan goddess or Saint Brigid, however the words Divine Feminine Energy resonate with me and I perceive Brigid as That.    I feel that Brigid is a remarkable female Celtic goddess and/or Saint that represents our divine feminine energy, attributes and qualities that…

How about giving yourself a package of self care that improves your physical and mental health and makes you feel alive. ✨ Recently I taught a 30 minute mindfulness practice for a group of professionals.

Roar Like A Goddess

Roar like a Goddess

Posted on November 4, 2022November 4, 2022 by Janet

As women living in todays patriarchal society have forgotten how to roar. We have had our roar suppressed for centuries we have been taught to be quiet and subservient, of course in some cultures much more so than others. Women must learn to Roar like a Goddess once more. The Hindi Goddess Durga is the…

Do you like to move it, move it?

Posted on October 6, 2022October 6, 2022 by Janet

Do you like to move it, move it? I certainly want to be able to move my body freely in every direction for as long as I live, who doesn’t? Moving is primal, we were made to move – to run, walk, skip, dance but not in a linear way – in an instinctive way….

How Are You Feeling?

Posted on August 15, 2022August 15, 2022 by Janet

How are you feeling since the 24th February? You may not remember from that exact date, but I do, because there was a collective or global seismic shift in the level of fear and trauma around the world and I felt that. Maybe you did too or it exacerbated underlying feelings of trauma and anxiety…

The Evolution of Movement

The Evolution of Movement

Posted on August 3, 2022August 3, 2022 by Janet

We evolved from the ocean so the evolution of movement begins in the sea. We were water creatures. We had scaly skin and swam with heads and tails. Then we evolved feet and fins and crawled onto the land. We grew 4 limbs and then stood up and walked on them and then stood up…

forgiveness

Forgiveness

Posted on June 8, 2022June 8, 2022 by Janet

Forgiveness is very difficult, because it doesn’t come naturally to our negative mindset, we prefer to blame the ‘other’, it’s easier and more self-fulfilling. We tell ourselves, ‘ I didn’t do anything wrong!’ or ‘If they hadn’t done/said this or that, then I wouldn’t have done/said this or that.’ There’s an idea that you can…

What is Embodied Yoga?

Posted on May 20, 2022May 20, 2022 by Janet

Over the space of many years I have shifted from making Yoga shapes ( asana) to developing a practice of embodied movement or embodied Yoga. As a beginner when you join a Yoga class you have to practice putting your body into new shapes which it does not usually make during every day life and…

The Gentle Art of Letting Go

The Gentle Art of Letting Go

Posted on November 30, 2021November 30, 2021 by Janet

What happens when instead of Letting Go you hold on to your rage, fear, jealousy, shame, grief or some other emotion? Firstly it’s not just a repetitive dialogue that you’re having with yourself in your head. Emotions and feelings live in your body, they hibernate in your connective tissues when ignored and suppressed. ‘Your issues…

Negotiating a Crumbling World

Posted on August 20, 2021August 20, 2021 by Janet

Life is a bit surreal at the moment and negotiating this crumbling world can feel difficult at times. One might even say events happening now are on a biblical scale, with fires running wild in some countries, floods doing the same, earthquakes wrecking havoc, wars, thousands of people running for fear of their lives in…

Mindful Body Awareness

Posted on July 28, 2021July 28, 2021 by Janet

There’s a growing trend to push the body to extremes, with many more extreme sports using the words ‘ultra’ and ‘iron’ to define achievement. There is a definite lack of mindful body awareness (interoception) among the population. Nowadays people are aggressively pushing their body and mind to achieve more and more. This morning a young…

Mindful Eating

Posted on March 18, 2021March 18, 2021 by Janet

There’s been plenty of food for thought over the past year, pardon the pun but not much mindful eating! Food has been one of our few pleasures over the past year as many of our activities and hobbies ceased due to covid 19 lockdowns. We have to eat 2/3 times a day for energy and…
