Stillness is the way back home to yourself. Your true self underneath all the masks you wear, the roles you play, your traumas and your family and societal conditioning.

If you don’t know how to sit still, get curious. Ask yourself why you can’t sit still, and what you need to be able to embrace even just a moment of stillness.

Don’t be like me and wait for a major crisis and for life to bring you to your knees to cultivate this skill (Thanks, burnout - you are my greatest teacher yet).

Ask the question and then action the answer. And if no answers come or you need some help to sit still today, reach out and I’ll send you little gift given to me by Nature 🌲 🧘 🌬️

We are constantly accumulating rubbish in life. Not just physical rubbish but energetic rubbish too - in both our inner and outer worlds.

The pollution in the air we breathe in each day.

The hormones being routinely pumped into our food for mass, rapid global production.

The cheeky chocolate you indulged in last night that brought a moment of comfort.

Not expressing our true feelings and desires in favour of attachment.

The heavy energy of others in the process of cleaning up their inner worlds… or the rubbish of those not cleaning up at all 🙄

This rubbish MUST be taken out. Routinely. So that it does not turn rancid and deplete us of our precious life force and creative energy.

Essentially, we must have a garbage removal system that cleans up both our external and internal lives.

For me, high intensity exercise is a key inner waste removal strategy. The sweat. The burn. The surge of power when I hit a certain point of intensity. Ahhh delicious!

How do you like to take out your garbage?

These plants were fully thriving when I first brought them home. But then I placed them in the wrong environment and didn’t take the time to understand their individual needs and sensitivities. And they nearly fu***ng died. Thankfully, they are now returning back with new life and vigor as I tend to them with greater attentiveness and devotion.

We humans are no different. We cannot hope to thrive in environments and relationships that are insensitive to our individual needs. Similarly if we disregard or abandon our own needs.
Of course, we will probably survive as the will to live in all of us is strong! However, there is a psychic death when our needs go unmet that is slow and painful manifesting in such ways as little to no vitality or life force, disease, mental health instability , and a lack of joy and pleasure. This is no way to live.

We all have needs. Let me repeat that:

We.
all.
have.
needs.

And our needs are deeply personal. It is not a one size fits all. What’s right for me may not be right for you.

My needs matter. And so do yours.

So get clear on what your core needs are and start honouring them and communicating them to others. Stop tolerating places and spaces where your needs are minimized or ignored. Reflect also on the ways you neglect and abandon your own needs consciously or unconsciously as it is deep in our cultural conditioning to do so - especially if you are a woman.

Have the courage to do this inner work and watch as your inner and outer garden come into bloom!

No one told me about the Great Shedding growing up.

The natural and cyclical process that we go through as human beings at various stages of life.

A transformative death process of composting the old to give way to the new.

A shedding of outdated beliefs, habits, and protections in service of new life, new vitality, and new meaning.

No one told me that it would be a terribly confronting, lonely, and painful process at times.

No one urged or reassured me to keep going as, despite the mess and pain, certain gifts, magic and treasures would inherently be found and recovered in each shedding.

No one told me.

But the trees help me to remember.

Looking back over some of the framed origami shadow boxes I’ve made over the years.

I absolutely love using my hands to make something beautiful come to life out of very little. Our hands are so powerful and there is magic to be made out of nothing 💥

But oh! I’ve realised I’ve never actually made one for myself! They have all been gifted to others. I’ve loved doing this of course but I reckon it’s time to make one for myself. One of my first creative endeavours now that I am on long service leave from work which I am taking to focus on MYSELF. It will definitely be a tree of life and an opportunity for me to start to connect to my ancestral roots. A way to root down deep as I navigate this uncharted territory.

And if you are interested in making one of these precious pieces for yourself or a special other, you can join me this Sunday 28th for my tree of life workshop. There is space for you 🌲 🌬️ ✨

The magic that happens when you make a commitment to prioritise more REST and JOY in your life ✨

In just two weeks, I’ve gone from being the owner of a harp gathering dust in the corner of my room to being able to play my first ever song 🎶 🪉

May this sweet lullaby played on my little harp called Maggie help you get to sleep a bit better tonight and may you be inspired to find greater rest and joy in YOUR life 💓 💤

There have been so many signs and signals lately in my life to lay it all down, to rest, to let go and surrender to the unknown.

Vivid dreams, reoccurring bouts of illness, anxiety in public spaces, not finding joy in my usual joyful practices, struggling to be present with my family, as well as this fallen down tree.

I always get really sad when I see trees fallen like this. But spending time with this beautiful tree and reflecting in the days since has helped me to realise that my feelings are projections stemming from a core belief that rest is lazy, unproductive, unhelpful, and even selfish.

Yet, as nature always does, this tree revealed its beautiful medicine to me: rest is nourishing, rest gives way to play and joy, rest allows one to take risks and to find the courage, strength and stamina to venture into the unknown.

And rest IS absolutely a way of giving to others. Even though this magnificent tree was no longer upright, it was still providing a refuge to many small creatures in the forest; its rotting matter is no doubt providing valuable nutrients back into to the land and soil AND it provided an wonderful opportunity for my beautiful children and I to play and just be together.

Seriously ❗️ I continue to be blown away by the wisdom of trees 🌲 🌲 One of my most powerful teachers yet and I will continue to spend time with them for guidance and support.

If my story resonates with you, if you know you need to rest, if you want to connect with the medicine of trees, I warmly invite you to my upcoming Tree of Life workshop on Sunday 28 June 11am in South Brisbane where we will make a tree together in a framed shadow box ✨
