In our fast-paced, modern world, it’s easy to become disconnected from our bodies. Stress, sedentary lifestyles, and constant distractions often lead us to neglect the signals our bodies send us. However, there’s a profound practice that offers a gateway to reconnecting with our physical selves: somatic movement. Far beyond just another exercise routine, it is a holistic approach to wellness that addresses the mind-body connection, offering numerous benefits for both physical and mental health. I’ve only just recently been introduced to somatic movement, but I will definitely be adding it to ..read more

Shadow work is the process of exploring the parts of ourselves that we may have repressed or denied, typically because they are uncomfortable, painful, or unacceptable to us. These parts of ourselves are often referred to as our “shadow,” and they can include emotions, desires, and personality traits that we may have learned to reject or hide. While shadow work can be challenging and sometimes uncomfortable, it is an important process for personal growth and healing. By acknowledging and accepting our shadow, we can become more integrated, whole, and self-aware individuals. The benefits of sha ..read more

We all know what Mother’s day is but have you ever been curious about the history of it? According to search engines Mother’s Day in the UK dates back to a 16th century custom of ‘Mothering Sunday’ which took place on the fourth Sunday of Lent (three Sundays before Easter). It was the day that people visited their ‘Mother’ church (the church they grew up near) for a special service. This would bring families back to together for a short period of time, allowing grown up children to spend some quality time with their Mothers. Mother’s day this year takes place on Sunday 19th March in the UK. If ..read more

Creating and integrating new good habits into your daily routine can be hard. Whether it’s starting a new daily exercise routine, eating healthier or drinking more water, we often start with a lot of enthusiasm.

Why create good habits?  In short, good daily habits can change your life. To really change your life it’s not about one big gesture or action, it’s about the little habits we perform every da ..read more

Everyone gets down every now and again. It’s part of the human experience. You cannot fully appreciate the good without the bad. We are, after all, here to experience the full range of human emotion, that’s part of the deal. Problems arise however when a person gets stuck in the lower vibrations.  I talk about vibrations a lot on this website as your vibration affects every aspect of your life. When we’re happy and content we operate from a high vibration. In contrast, when we’re feeling low and depressed we are operating from a low vibration. Becoming aware of your vibration and energ ..read more

One thing that I see and experience time and time again is people struggling to know where to begin with their spiritual awakening journey. In fact the majority of people I see do not even know that they are experiencing a spiritual awakening. They just know that something is shifting within them and they don’t quite feel the same way they used to. They may suddenly develop an interest in crystals,  start going to see psychics, they may suddenly feel called to start exercising more, change their diet, create something or start meditating.  Everyone is different and each person will f ..read more

*Affiliate links This is a guest post from Lizzie My name is Lizzie and I am the divination Bosswitch from backyardbanshee.com, where people come to me for ideas, innovation & insight.  For a lot of people, if we say “divination”, we think of something as animated as the wide-eyed Emma Thompson’s “Sybill Trelawney” teaching fortune telling in Harry Potter. Rarely, we associate it with self-care routines. Even if we do, we most likely think of it in terms of energy. This is because divination can also be done with pendulums, tea-leaf reading and tarot cards, for instance. These t ..read more

Practising daily gratitude can change your life as it raises your vibration. If you’re trying to manifest but don’t feel gratitude it simple won’t work. It doesn’t have to be a big deal and there are lots of simple ways to incorporate gratitude into your daily life. One of the easiest ways I’ve found that reminds me to be thankful everyday is to have a Gratitude Playlist.  Every morning when I have a shower I put the playlist on as it helps me to get in the right frame of mind for the day ahead. I always find myself repeating the songs in my head throughout the day further cementing the ..read more
