This week in my workshops, we’ve really dug into the idea of ritual and having a pick and mix of practices.

Sometimes, I love my morning ritual to be still and soft, yet sometimes, when my body feels more jittery, sitting still is the last thing I need.

In those moments, find that the most helpful practices are the ones that invite me to move. Walking meditation has become one of those practices for me.

I let the movement of my body become the meditation. I notice the ground beneath my feet, the rhythm of my steps, the air on my skin and the world around me.

I listen, I feel, I see.

And sometimes, I take a cacao with me. 🤎

The warmth of the cup in my hands, the richness of the cacao, its earthy aroma and the sensation of each sip bring more of my senses into the experience.

It gives me more to connect with, more to notice, and more opportunities to experience this present moment in its entirety.

I love that meditation doesn’t have to look one particular way. Sometimes we find presence through stillness. Other times, we find it through movement, sensation and our connection with the world around us.

There is something beautiful about allowing a practice to meet you where you are, rather than expecting yourself to meet the practice.

What helps you come back to yourself when you need it most?

P.s, the cacao I love is Creation Cacao - Ceremonial Cacao and this beautiful blue cup is one from Handmade Ceramics Sydney at Manly Markets. It’s my special Creation Cacao cup.

I also have a special cup for tea only and one for my decaf coffee only too. It just elevated these moments that little bit more. 🤍

I had a really interesting conversation today with a client regarding needs and desires.

Apparently social media influences it now suggesting that we shouldn’t need anything from anyone.

I’m not sure that in this interdependent world that is a healthy way for humans to live. I’ll talk about this further another time, but I’m interested to know your thoughts.

What a big, big week of workshops. It’s been so much fun and such a great reminder of things that I know to be true. The health of an organisation starts with recognising the needs of humans within it.

Another full day tomorrow but that’s a wrap on the corporate gigs. Thanks so much the each and every incredible human - nearly 1,000 - who attended a session with me this week.

There is no one size fit or when it comes to mental and emotional health (or any other facet health for that matter). That’s why I don’t recommend one particular modality or process, or work in one particular way.

I recently listened to an ABC podcast episode of “All in the Mind” which discussed the very real risks of meditation. I’ve also been working with a client who was left deeply traumatised after a silent meditation retreat.

Here’s the thing. I’m not saying that a silent retreat is bad. I’m not saying it’s good either. I’m simply saying that no one thing is right for every single person.

The goal is always to understand the person and their particular circumstance first before suggesting any treatment plan. I work with the most incredible modalities such as FBR Breathwork and somatic experiencing and even as incredible as they are, I always seek to understand my client very well before we decide on our next step.

That’s why I work with so many modalities and that’s how I’ll continue to work until I see quality evidence to the contrary.

Am I using my intelligence to deepen my life or postpone my life?

I loved coming across this question. I say it in my work all the time. Clients who use their intelligence to have an intellectual understanding but also postpone truly going deep.

What if beginning again didn’t have to wait for tomorrow?

For a new day.
A fresh start.
The right moment.

What if we could begin again, right here?

I wrote about this in my latest Substack, The Wisdom of Beginning Again. You can find the link in my bio.

Perhaps you need the reminder as much as I did. 🤍

I’ve been thinking a lot lately about what it actually means to hold space for someone.

i’ve been working with a lot of clients in one of my large offerings lately. It’s an all day Retreat although you might call the opposite of Retreat. Instead of retreating from nowadays, we spend the day deep diving even further. It’s a really special offering and I’ll share more about another time.

Spending those 6 to 8 hours with someone as they get really messy, has got me really thinking about what it means to truly hold space well.

For me, it’s simply being able to stay with someone in whatever is happening for them in any moment. The choice of touch or the choice of words is instinctual in the moment.

It’s my role to ensure they know they are everything while they’re with me.

Not to rush them.
Not to judge what’s coming up.
not to need them to be okay before we can be okay with them.

There’s something really powerful about being with someone who doesn’t need you to hold it all together.

Someone who can sit beside you when things are messy, painful, confusing or uncertain and not try to take it away.

And I think being truly held by someone can be just as powerful.

That feeling of being able to let your guard down a little. To exhale. To stop performing. To know that you don’t have to explain every part of yourself to be met with care.

This is something I care deeply about in my work.

Creating a space where you can arrive exactly as you are.

You don’t need to have the answers.

You don’t need to be okay.

You just need to come as you are, and we can start there.
