selfcare
The importance of self-care is paramount; enhance your health and wellbeing, manage your stress, and maintain control under pressure.
Meditative Medium
For me creating in any form has always been a contemplative exercise. As an Expert Registered Yoga + Children's Yoga Teacher/Trainer and Craniosacral Healer, I also share this with clients or it will often come up for them during healing sessions. When we give our right (creative) side of our brain the space to do as it wishes, we allow intuition to flow and naturally come into a parasympathetic and meditative state. It's a beautiful way to help us process deeper thoughts and emotions, particularly if 'meditation' in the formal sense many see it as, is not your thing. Personally, I believe meditation can be found in our day to day, and in fact this can help us to be more present - which is what meditation is all about. We don't need to sit like Buddha for this to happen... it's actually quite challenging for most.

Fighting Depression
It has taken a long time to get here. To get to the point where I can say, I have depression. I said a few years ago that I have ‘down days’ but that I didn’t class myself as someone with depression as I didn’t see myself as survive as I know others are.

WHAT IS BRAINSPOTTING?
“Where you look, affects how you feel. If something is bothering you, how you feel about it will literally change on whether you look off to your right or your left. Our eyes and brains are intricately woven together, and vision is the primary way that we, as humans, orient ourselves to our environment. Signals sent from our eyes are deeply processed in the brain. The brain then reflexively and intuitively redirects where we look, moment to moment. The brain is an incredible processing machine that digests and organises everything we experience. Trauma can overwhelm the brain’s processing capacity, leaving behind pieces of trauma, frozen in an unprocessed state. Brainspotting uses our field of vision to find where we are holding these traumas in our brain. Just as the eyes naturally scan the outside environment for information, they can also be used to scan our inside environments – our brains – for information. Brainspotting uses the visual field to turn the “scanner” back on itself and guide the brain to find the lost internal information. By keeping the gaze focused on the specific external spot, we maintain the brain’s focus on the specific internal spot where trauma is stored, in order to promote the deep processing that leads to the trauma’s release and resolution.”

“The Unseen World”
We are born into this world with five senses. These help us to navigate through it and to be able to move and function. The human body is a miraculous mechanism. If one of the senses is lost or minimized, the others are usually enhanced, making up for the loss. Internally we have the intuition, an inner sense of knowing. It can be more or less understood by the individual and one can learn to use it more and more. This is also called an “hunch” and can be in tune with reality. In some cases it is based on experience. Then it can be misleading if the person has had traumatic experiences or was indoctrinated in a set of beliefs.

That Shaky kind of Frustration
It happens suddenly. sometimes gradually but unnoticed. You think you're having a simple conversation. You are sure it's heading in a tame and safe direction. But at some point, someone has said something wrong. "Was it me? was it them? did they interpret what I meant incorrectly?" you think. And then you notice how you feel inside. It's shaky. Unstable. You try to stand your ground and say how you feel in the kindest way you know how. But even this offends them too.

Sleeping With Myself
Sleeping With Myself I’m still told the same bedtime stories I used to hear as a five-year-old - it’s the same voice too. I’m nineteen now. The stories told to me never helped me sleep, rather they kept me up all night. These tales lacked demons, princesses, heroes, or villains. Well, perhaps there was a hero and a villain but if I were to say that I would also have to admit that they were one and the same and I’m not ready to do that.
