This is who you are.

This is the brain and the nervous system you have been wired with.

And, they are marvellous.

We are here to live.

Really live. Emotionally, spiritually, intellectually, physically.

To live with energy, authenticity, joy, courage and creativity. This is thriving.

March 2020 is proving to be a challenging month for many people, businesses and communities, as we navigate our personal and collective responses to the coronavirus.

And yet, if we look deeper, this time foretells a potential global shift in consciousness through the confrontation of enormous and urgent issues. These may not be the ones that seem most obvious, but rather those which are hidden beneath the headlines.

Vulnerability can be hard, and it is beautiful.

Vulnerability has become so human in its complexity…

As many of you will know or have guessed by now, I love Brené Brown’s research and writing.

Over the Summer I have been re-reading Daring Greatly (2012), and in Chapter 6 she writes about re-humanizing education and work. One way is through enabling workplaces to have honest and hard conversations and reach into the potential of being vulnerable.

The influence of previous generations, their trauma and triumphs, continues to exert a strong effect on their descendants.

Where there remain unresolved and unspoken issues from the past, it acts like a ‘gap’ or ‘void’ that descendants unconsciously feel. Like an unnamed place at the table.

I was guided to write about my experience of miscarriage, as I was helped by a few of the personal stories I read online. If this issue is still taboo, then I hope this also contributes to opening the conversation wider and sharing our loss and suffering with open hearts.

I hope that this blog can be of comfort to you or someone you know.

A breaking of the bond between mother and infant can happen at any time - in utero, during birth or while growing up.

The breaking of this sacred bond between mother and child, no matter the cause, will have significant effects on the developing baby’s connection to self and spirit.

The work that I (and many others do) is of a spiritual nature, addressing healing at a soul level and working with subtle energy in the body.

Emotional, mental, physiological and nutritional health states are addressed also, but I think there is more widely accepted understanding that for these aspects of life change takes place over time.

Why then would there be a magical cure-all for aspects of the soul, spirit or subtle energy?

The theme I am noticing as we come towards the end of 2018 seems to be coming home to yourself.

As preparations get underway for the merriment of Christmas and New Year time, whatever your circumstances or beliefs, wherever you are travelling to or visiting, this feels like a beautiful opening of potential, inviting you to come more deeply into yourself.
