I believe that everything happens for a reason. People change so that you can learn to let go, things go wrong so that you appreciate them when they're right, you believe lies so you eventually learn to trust no one but yourself, and sometimes good things fall apart so better things can fall together.

Wishing you a fabulous, rich, fun, spontaneous, grounding, uplifting, satisfyingly powerful day.
It's the beginning of a new season, a new cycle and I'm really loving the energy already. Can you feel it?
Luckily, I get to do what I want so I'm flinging open the windows in my home, having a long lie in, writing, clearing my altar corner, and doing some gardening as a way to get the energy moving in my home and body. But if you're not blessed with such freedom and have to go to work or do whatever today holds, then make sure you take good care of you today.
There's huge energy shifts happening, which are having an impact on our physcal and emotional bodies.
So drink lots of water! It works at every level, helping us stay grounded, hydrating our brains to ensure they work at an optimal level and keeping our sacral chakra, well lubricated.
The sacral chakra is the energetic chalice holding our emotions in our body, ensuring they flow around the body with ease and fluidity. Located about an inch below the belly button, it is also related to creativity, sexuality, sensuality and playfulness. Drinking plenty of water keeps this important energy centre healthy and alive.
These three things could help you navigate the shifting energy today:
- Drink lots of water - without anything added
- Spend some time outside - alone if possible - pondering your dreams, and considering the "seeds" you want to sow which will flourish during the year ahead
- Rest and go slow - be mindful of your body and it's connection with the flow of life and nature. This is a period of fast growth, as Mother Nature steps into the exciting season of Spring, during which the life that has been gaining nutrients and momentum in the earth is ready to unfold and be seen. If you need to rest don't push yourself to do anything oh don't feel like doing. Set the time for the year ahead. Be kind and compassionate to yourself and others will have to do the same.
We are so lucky to be alive at this time, during which there are planetary alignments, and energetic shifts that only happen once every few hundreds of years! And since 2012 there have been some truly awesome things happen.
Today we have a powerful trine of energetic shifts. The Solar Eclipse, SuperMoon and Equionx herald awesome growth, new life and dreams coming true (at least that's what I feel they are bringing).
The more we can go with the flow and allow the changes to happen, scary and intense as they might seem, the better we'll be able to navigate the year ahead.
Since the beginning of the year, but more intensively during the last few weeks it's felt like my life is falling apart in many areas. Each day I have been given opportunities to recognise the truth: that I am powerless over others, and as much as I want to be in control and know what's going to happen it is pointless, because I don't need to know. All I need to do is accept, do my part in staying focused on the best possible things that could happen, and let go.
I have learned to once more surrender my life to God (of my understanding - which I'm still learning), and have faith that whatever is happening is happening is for me, rather than to me.
I watched a video several months ago, in which the teacher said that to remove the "victim" mentality we should see everything as happening FOR us rather than TO us. This has really helped me let go of much of my desire to stay a victim when things I don't want to happen happen, or when things don't happen that I wanted. Seeing everything as working in my favour is the art of allowing. Removing all resistance and placing my attention on the best possibility life has to offer. Knowing that the universe has been created to ensure my success and thriving.
I feel that my (far from perfect or consistent) Vipassana practice has helped me stay grounded and saved me from a lot of unnecessary pain and suffering over the last few weeks. It is amazing and I would highly recommend a ten day retreat.
As I write this it's very early in the morning, and yet I can already feel the energy soften and change as we move into the second quarter of the year.
I'm excited for what lies ahead.
I give thanks for what has been so far.
What seeds are you planting for this year? What dreams have you put on hold that keep calling you to listen? What do you want to experience more of in your life?
If not now then when?
I'm sowing seeds of fun, sparkliness, travel, dance, romance, love, positive neuro pathways (new pipes), hugs, financial security, joy, intimacy, freedom, singing, playfulness, meaningful work, laughter, heightened intuition, clarity, ease, flow, appreciation, connection, writing, opportunities, self compassion, authenticity, and friendships. (To list a few).
Notice how I'm not focused on stuff I could do, but how I want to feel. This is the art of allowing. The universe knows the path to the most amazing life I have ever dreamed of, all I have to do is get out of the way and let it happen. Following the urges of my spirit, and having fun along the way.
By practicing the art of allowing, and nurturing my seeds with love, I am eager to see what this year has in store.
Have a fabulicious day.
Namaste
I leave you with a quote from one of my favourite people:
