A festive delight last night at @mountsorrelmemorialcentre

✨ Twinkly lights, twinkly chimes, santas sleigh and snowflakes, deep resonant gongs and pure crystal singing bowls … the flooded roads didn’t deter the sound bathers ready to rest and receive last night ✨

It’s always a delight to play in this room, but especially so in the festive season.

Thank you to all who ventured out, gorgeous to welcome new faces curious, enamoured and blown away by therapeutic sound. And to those who regularly make time for themselves, it was wonderful to close out our year at Mountsorrel together - see you on the other side!

Dates for ‘24 are open, booking and filling.

All to be found on the Berry & Bloom website and via link in the b!o

It’s official.

A Sunday morning Sound Bath followed by warming spiced tea and cakes is A GOOd THING 🙌🏻

Thank you to all who braved the snowy roads this morning for Welcoming Winter ❄️, it was a delight to hold space for you to slow things down and sink into the restorative frequencies.

There WILL be more Sunday mornings like this - especially in these darker, colder months.

Keep your 👀 peeled for an announcement soon.

This is my tri-annual reminder to give blood, if you’re able to 🥰

It’s an hour of your time and priceless for someone else.

I always get a little tug of the heartstrings when I donate as there’s a blue tag saying NEO attached to my donation which signifies that my blood can be used for newborns who need it.

Newborn babies can only be transfused with blood that lacks the cytomegalovirus, this blood is labelled CMV-negative.

CMV is a mild and very common virus, similar to the virus that causes cold sores or chickenpox – in fact, around 50 to 60 per cent of adults in the UK have had it.

It can cause mild illness with symptoms similar to the flu. It may also pass completely unnoticed with not a symptom in sight! People are often infected in childhood but those in good health produce antibodies against it and make a full recovery.

Once you have the virus, however, it stays in your body for the rest of your life, meaning that when we test your blood for antibodies to it, it shows up, even if you have had the illness years ago and have long since recovered.

The good news is that this is of no significance to your health. The not-so-good news is that it can cause life-threatening illnesses to patients with particularly poor immune systems.

Although CMV-positive blood is safe for most patients, it won’t be given to bone marrow recipients or newborn babies, for example. This means we have to give them blood from donors whom we know have never had CMV.

So yes I’m feeling warm and fuzzy this afternoon. Check out @givebloodnhs to see how and where you can feel warm and fuzzy too 🥰 ...

Life can feel challenging sometimes…

Cultivating a mindfulness practice helps you to meet your life, just as it is. This enables you to be more responsive, rather than reactive, in how you deal with people, cope with difficult situations and make decisions.

Finding Peace in a Frantic World - the 8 week online mindfulness course I offer is the most cost and time effective way of working with me if you want to feel more present and engaged in your life.

Join me and a small group of like minded people as we explore how mindfulness can enrich your daily life.

✨We begin in January.
✨We meet on Monday evenings for 90 mins and you will have all the resources you need to support you.
✨There’s a range of course fee to suit all budgets, plus you can pay in instalments.

Let’s learn together how to surf the waves of life and ensure we have paddles a plenty when we find ourselves up 💩 creek 😉

Just 4 places remain

Link in the usual place and all info on my website.

Ask me anything…

The view from my bedroom window… sigh….

I love how the light is changing, blindingly stunning sunrises/sets and the low hanging sun through the day making driving slightly difficult every now and then 🙈

As we welcome Winter there’s a bright crispness to the daylight and increasing darkness to the night.

If you can’t see the sun rise (I used to have to go and seek him out when I lived in Dalston) check out my stories where’s there’s a minute of this mornings glorious arrival ☀️ ...

Yule (from the Norse Iul, meaning wheel) or the Winter solstice has been celebrated for millennia.

Famously, Stonehenge is aligned with the solstices and at Newgrange in Ireland the passage and chamber of the 5,000 year old passage tomb structure lights up with the rising sun on the winter solstice. It is a celebration of the rebirth of the sun.

Closer to home wreaths are appearing on front doors, these symbolise the Wheel of the Year and its celebrations or sabbats.

Here in Leicestershire I host circles for the eight hinges of the Wheel of the Year where we gather in ceremony with time to reflect, meditate and journal. This is time out of the every day where we honour the rhythms of Nature and ourselves.

With ritual, seasonal aromatherapy and a full sound bath experience, this Yule celebration is a time to acknowledge and embrace the darkness. It’s a time to be still, to step away from the distractions and the noise and gift ourselves the time to rest. By honouring the return of the light we honour the light within ourselves.

Two places have become available for this Yule circle, are they meant for you?

Sunday December 17th, 7.15pm - 9.15pm
Seagrave Village Hall LE12 7DL

Online booking at the Berry & Bloom website (link in bio / comments)
