A personal update, advice on trusting stillness and how to handle pauses in life ❤

Every time we inhale, our sympathetic - or fight-or-flight - nervous system gets switches on. Each time we exhale, our parasympathetic - or rest-and-relax - nervous system turns on. A healthy balance of both is vital to our wellbeing (even if the sympathetic nervous system has received some bad rep recently). A problem, however, can occur when we become stuck in fight-or-flight. This is what we’ll explore today and more. By understanding the mechanisms behind our inhales and exhales, we can reduce stress, heal chronic conditions and feel peaceful. 🕊️

I share 3 simple steps for living intuitively in the day-to-day, and in making the bigger decisions that life asks of us. 💞

Intuition is like a muscle - the more we practise connecting with and living from this place, the easier it will be to be guided by it. The tips I share will help you to look inward, create habits that support this, and trust what you know about the truths of your life. ✨

Set intentions in a mindful way that feels true to you ✨

As we welcome in 2024, many of us are releasing the old and starting a new chapter of life. The yogic philosophy of sankalpa helps us to set intentions aligned with our truth, rather than pursue goals externally imposed on us.

A sankalpa is something that naturally arises as we connect deep within and listen to our inner voice. 🦋

Hi friends! In this final episode of the year, I share with you my 5 most potent from the last year. ✨

Upon reflection, it's mainly been a year of practising and integrating things. I've definitely learnt a lot along the way and I'm so grateful for the year I've had. I hope this inspires you to reflect on how much you've grown over the last year (if you haven't already). xx

I'm joined by The Gem Goddess, aka Leanna Palmer, for a down-to-earth chat about manifestation, Law of Attraction, Tarot, self-empowerment and more!

Leanna is a Law of Attraction and manifestation expert, Tarot reader, intuitive and mystic, and all-round wonderful, wise human. She breaks down in clear, useful steps and language everything you need to overcome the blocks to your goals and to trust that, once your intention has been set, everything coming your way is in alignment with this. ✨

Take a break from the business of life with these 5-min. positive affirmations. You can listen every day for a month, or even just a week. You can also pick your favourite and record your own, or rewrite them in a journal. ✨

I know that this is a busy and maybe even overwhelming period for many of us, so I'm sharing affirmations to uplift your spirit and that of everyone around you. These will create safety from within, release negative thinking patterns and remind you that you're right where you're supposed to be. ♥️

Hey guys, today I share 3 stories of recent manifestations of mine - all were very unexpected and show just how powerful our thoughts are. The last is one of those times when you can feel the Universe within and around you 🔮

If you’re manifesting anything and ESPECIALLY if you’re experiencing fear or doubt around your dreams and goals right now, this is for YOU 💛

If you struggle with feeling energised, positive and productive during winter, this episode is for you! I cover how our body's needs change, ways to support these changes and daily habits for improving your energy and mental clarity. I also remind you that it's okay to take things slowly and feel more inward during this time. ♥️

With winter arriving next month, the tips here can help you to prepare ahead! ❄️✨

Today, we start with the Hatha Yoga Pradapika (HYP) and follow yoga’s journey to its widespread in the West today. The HYP introduced movement to the practice of yoga, as well as cleansing practices for ascending our Kundalini energy. I also talk about the lineage of Krishnamacharya, who is often called the ‘Father of Modern Yoga’ due to his influence on yoga’s spread through the West.

Guidance and tips on getting through burnout, recognising the signs, and listening to the wisdom it offers you. Through first surrendering to the darkness and working through the intense emotions that come up, we can begin to clear the way for the higher messages.

How do you know if it's your intuition or fear? How do the two sound different, and how does that feel in the body? Today, I share a simple way to tell between the two, to honour your inner whispers, and to feel good about them! ✨

I hope this episode gives you the inspiration, self-trust and self-love that you need today. 💞

Yoga is SO much more than beautiful poses and stretches in a movement class. From its roots in the 1500BCE Vedic texts, through the Upanishads and Yoga Sutras, this episode takes you on a journey to discover the ancient yogic philosophy. I share how this has changed through the ages, the wisdom it still holds for us today, and how we can view yogic thought through our modern lens.

As a Yoga Teacher and yogi, yoga is at the core of my life and how I balance my mind, body and soul. Through preparing for this episode, I learnt so much and I'm very excited to share here with you. 🧘‍♀️

Slow living has been a big part of my life over the last year, helping me to find my own rhythm, release old values that no longer serve me and discover peace in simplicity. It's less about the speed of your life, and more about the energy and intention behind our actions.

Slow living means being guided by your inner being. It requires personal alignment, listening in and creating boundaries. It requires being lead by the nature and the drumbeat coming from within, not outside influences, competition, numbers and fear.

The shadow is the part of our personality that is in contrast to the ideal version we want to show. It doesn’t align with our beautiful dream about ourselves, and so we shut it out... But through this rejection, we shut parts of ourselves off and we don't get to fully experience the contrast and contradictions of being a human.

Today, I talk about my recent shadow work epiphanies, how this work allows us to integrate all parts of ourselves for deeper personal alignment, and how you can do shadow work - whether you're new or not to this work! ✨

Sharing things I’ve never shared before! Endings have 100% allowed new beginning and up-levellings in my life, especially friendships and other -ships. If you need a reminder of this timeless wisdom, if you’re going through endings or are feeling fearful of any coming, this episode is for you. ♡

This episode was definitely hard for me to record, as I like to keep things more positive - but the real stuff of life is as much in the easy as it is in the hard parts! Our shadows like to stay hidden, so here is me shedding some light on parts of my life that would rather stay in the shade. I hope you enjoy, let me know if anything arose for you!

In this episode, I share everything you need to know about the Moon - from ancient civilisations’ reverence and use of it as a calendar, to modern day lunar living. Since eons ago, humans have had an innate connection with the Moon. Even those who don’t feel a conscious relationship with the Cosmos can’t help but be in awe at the brightness and boldness of the Moon in the nightsky. It’s a powerful Divine Feminine presence, and its wisdom can help us to bring our dreams into reality.

A relaxed chat on self-connection ✦

I recorded this episode after filming a YouTube video on 5 tips for connecting more deeply with yourself (link below), which inspired me to record this episode to talk more about why connecting with yourself is *the* most important thing in life! ♡

Today's topic is all about raising your vibration! I blend the science with the spiritual to teach you how raising your vibration is a physical thing (the human body has a range of observable vibrational frequency it emits). This journey is about going from surviving our days, to thriving and unfurling the creative, expansive beings that we all are. It's about feeling your best and bringing more higher consciousness into the physical form.

In this episode I welcome the first guest to my podcast - Lorena Espiga! Lorena is an Akashic Records Healer, Flower Essence Therapist, Pyschic, Medium, Rune Reader and soon to be Astrologer.

This conversation was such a pleasure to record, and I hope you enjoy it as much as we did!
