Peace and stillness. Nature and its invitations. Connections. Needs met. Wonderful.
Whenever I’ve asked my body what it needs for the last several years, rest has been the most frequent response.
Now that I am much better, love tends to be the most frequent need. I’ve been loving doing my love shower breath which I’ve done for years starting at my worst times. But it feels different nowadays, there’s a glow within and it can make me feel better (it didn’t before, it just aligned with feeling better in the future). A Beautiful practice 🤍🩵
I haven't heard of the love shower breath. It sounds fascinating and I am so pleased it's making a difference. 💕 And I am wondering, was it tough to keep going with it when it felt like it wasn't doing anything or were you just determined to keep going? 🤗🤩
That’s because I created it 😆 in my darkest, most horrific, beyond bleak days, I began to breathe into my heart space and visualise showering love energy all over my body (head to toe) on each exhale.
In realising I need to teach others all I’ve embodied over these treacherous years, I’ve upped it again as a practice and recently been reflecting on where I’m at now with it, vs where I’ve been.
I don’t know if you had an interest in my Free To Be Me circle starting on Thursday but I’ll be sharing it in there, along with so much more.
That’s such a great question and perhaps one I need to expand upon in my writing. I’m in the process of writing a series on recovery so perhaps in there.
At the very foundations of it in its most simplest terms was my belief that “I matter. My health matters”, tied in with a belief and a focus on what I truly wanted; wellness. Alongside a deep down belief that there was a root cause to the illness and that if I understood that, I could figure out my way to wellness.
Absolutely to the determination that went with it. Mine is relentless. Unwaivering. At times, I didn’t want to be here to such an extent that I wished I no longer had that level of determination.
On the flip side, I believed so greatly in myself that I genuinely believed I could be that severely ill one month and totally well the next. I stayed with that belief for years - it never wavered. Even though the past told me a very different story. It’s only now, I can see how naive that looks to outsiders. And how deep I had to dig and the courage it must have taken to venture so far out against the grain.
This really resonates for me. Especially the determination bit. It takes a lot of determination to keep going, and believing, while living with chronic conditions. I can't commit to anything new right now as I have a lot going on but I am so pleased you are sharing your insights and gifts. 💕
Beautiful💛 loving the photos😍
