Nice idea @LidlGB - shame all your fruit and veg comes in plastic packaging so can’t use these in your stores 🙄

This weekend's full moon in ♓️ is a perfect time to let go... Let go of old thinking, behaviours, outmoded ways of being that have perhaps served a purpose at some point - often protective in nature - but now prevent you from blossoming into your truest, boldest, brightest self.

These heightened energies can be unsettling and provoke strong emotional responses and disturbed sleep (hello fellow moon sensitives ☺️) so be kind to yourself and remember what helps keep you grounded.
For me that's a combination of movement and meditation, staying nourished, hydrated and rested as best I can... with a great big dollop of self compassion... How will you look after your energies this weekend? ...

Before patriarchal times, Friday the 13th was considered the day of the Goddess, a day to worship the Divine Feminine that lives in us all and to honour the cycles of creation and death and rebirth.
Friday the 13th has often been held in high regards by women and the pagan community, and many rituals and spells are often conducted on this day in order to make the most of this beautiful energy. Why? ��Friday was named in honour of Freyja - a Nordic Earth Goddess of fertility, celebration, and passion. Freyja rides in a chariot pulled by mighty cats across the rainbow bridge connecting Heaven and Earth. Unafraid of her sexual power, Freyja teaches us to appreciate our attractiveness, and to enjoy ourselves. Her energy joins us at the end of the week to honour the days gone by and to remind us that it is important to rest, relax and play (hence TFiF!). The Number 13 also holds an extremely potent feminine energy and is considered to be the number of death and rebirth, creation, fertility and blood. This is because we have 13 Moon cycles every year. �

Bringing Friday and the number 13 together, you can see that Friday the 13th is in fact, a very powerful day for feminine energy and creativity. It is also an extremely powerful time of death and rebirth as it represents that mid-point in the cycle between something new emerging and something old slipping away.�� We all have feminine energy in us, so Friday the 13th is not just for women. It is a day for all of us to honour our own abilities to create and receive energy from the world around us. Freyja is here to encourage us to embrace the Divine Feminine that lives within each and every one of us.
This Friday 13th has the added magic of the full moon energy behind it. It is time to let your light shine; be bold and daring, give yourself permission to be authentically, uniquely… You! ...

The fastest way to sap the joy out of something is to get all earnest about it... Yes it can feel overwhelming at times but damn it’s an exciting time in life too.
You get to choose how you feel about pregnancy and birth... Posted @withrepost • @birthstoriespodcast Final tip from our episode with @berry_and_bloom. Don’t take it all too seriously!! Birth is a family event, an event full of love, and it helps to have some fun, laugh, get the oxytocin going ❤️. Link in bio to listen to all our episodes. ...

Practice is everything.... Intellectually getting something is not the same as feeling it in your bones and that’s where repetitive practice comes in... @birthstoriespodcast
Tip number 4... practise being calm!

There’s no way you can know what you don’t know.... until you do.... Everyone’s amazed at how much they learn in my 4 week hypnobirthing course... stuff that would just never have occurred to them.
There’s absolutely no reason you’d know this stuff yet, so come... let’s chat and talk through what matters to you.
Next course begins September 16th and has two spaces left... 💥
@birthstoriespodcast Tip number 3 from @berry_and_bloom - get informed about your options. Where do you want to give birth? Do you want to be induced, or will you choose not to be? Until you realise there are options you don’t have options. Do your research. @milli.hill’s Positive Birth Book is a great place to start. The Association for Improvement to Maternity Services (AIMS) has impartial, evidence based research. @drsarawickham writes extensively on everything from the Vitamin K injection to induction.

Join us at The Well Garden for a blissful afternoon retreat, no matter how post the natal you are!

Having a baby can be overwhelming, but sharing the joys and challenges with other mums can make a huge difference as you transition into this role.
Let's support each other 🙌 ⭕️ Guided by psychotherapist Caitlin @mamakalondon and hypnotherapist @berry_and_bloom we'll share and explore the changes you've been through to embrace this new chapter in life. 🧘‍♂️ Release tension and re- energise with a yoga practice guided by @yolande_yoga , followed by deeply relaxing Rebozo ceremony, a tradition in South America using Rebozo shawls to help close the body physically & emotionally after birth. 💤🌀
The afternoon concludes with a soothing & restorative Hypno - gong, combining the power of hypnotherapy and sound bath. ⭕️
A closing circle and grounding snacks will leave you feeling nourished, grounded and refreshed. 😌
.
* Babes are welcome to join for a feed, we encourage you however to make this time for you as best you can and have bubba looked after nearby 🐣

I noticed in my yoga practice this morning that I was waiting for it to get difficult. It was a new routine and there was an implicit apprehension and assumption that it was going to get too hard for me and I wouldn’t be able to do it at some point.
I noticed this feeling in my body and the thought in my mind and consciously thought, what if it doesn’t? What if everything is fine and I can do anything?
In a flash I recognised this way of being in my life and how easy it is to forget my ability to choose what I think.
I’m in the process of selling my home and preparing for a big move, “one of the most stressful things you can do” everyone likes to say.
I notice when I’m bracing myself - waiting for something to go wrong. Waiting for “the other shoe to drop” that idiom of inevitability, in most cases awaiting an unpleasant outcome.
I notice an email alert from my solicitor or estate agent and already i’m wondering what’s wrong…. But what if the inevitable isn’t unpleasant?
What if… WHAT IF the inevitable is your wonderful, exciting future?

What if I choose to trust that everything is going to be okay?
What if I choose to know that I can cope with anything?
What if I remember that everything is figureoutable?

In an instant my body softens…. Jaw and hands release,
The shoulders drop
My breathing becomes slower and deeper
Everything expands…. and suddenly I know everything is going to be okay…

More than that, this is the beginning of something amazing!!! ...

The August 30th New Moon falls in the sign of Virgo and is the perfect time to start a new project, welcome in new inspiration, and to be open to changing aspects of your life that have become outworn or overplayed. I've had so many people contacting me this week with exactly this intention whether they realised it aligned cosmically or not!

August has held the potential to be a turning point month so if you are feeling like your life could use some fresh inspiration or motivation, if you have been feeling a little stuck or stagnant or resistant to change, set an intention or take a small action under this new moon so as to seal this energy into your life.

This could be a great opportunity to get grounded in "being" rather than caught up in “doing”. So many of us are consumed by our busy lifestyles and hectic schedules that we forget to pause and just allow ourselves to be.
Allowing ourselves to “just be” is about being present and alive in each moment and not lost in our minds or in our thoughts. Cultivating a mindful practice, for just 10 minutes a day, is a wonderful way of unhooking from the doing and thinking and practising being the observer.

Under this Virgo New Moon, see if you can bring more presence into your life through recognizing the observer within and learning to not identify with everything you think. Grab my mindfulness meditation for FREE today:

I’m acutely aware whenever you do any kind of course it can bring up feelings of learning, academia, schooling... for some that’s exiting and means a trip to buy a new notebook and pencil case (🙌🏻) for others it’s feelings of terror!
Neither help.

There’s a very big reason I’ve tailored my sharing of hypnobirthing+ in the way that I have. This is not school. You are not with me to learn HOW to give birth.
Your body already knows how to do that.
Your baby already knows how to do that.
Big groups, power point presentations, uncomfortable chairs, A4 bound project folders.... all lend themselves to feeling like a student. Which lends itself to notions of “homework” and “revision”; which ultimately turns giving birth into a test you either pass or fail.
Nothing could be further from the truth.

My groups are small, informal, chatty. My room at @thewellgarden has been purpose built for comfort and is a real home from home.
When I found a new printer for my “course work” it was an opportunity not just to ensure the highest quality recyclables (NO plastic!) but to also personalise something more inspiring than your usual hand outs of information.

I’m so thrilled with how they’ve turned out, a combination of information, exercises, inspirational tools and checklists and the perfect accompaniment to pregnancy, birth and early parenting. Unique to working with me.

Combined with gifting you “The Positive Birth Book”, “Why Hypnobirthing Matters”, 40+ hypnosis recordings and SOOOO much more I truly have your back at this exciting, challenging adventure of a time for you.
