Why I Am Wintering.
FOUNDATION SETTING | ROOTED STRENGTH
Hello friend,
I hope you are well and leaning into the slow and soft season of Winter if that’s what your mind, body and heart have been craving.
I have been a bit quiet on the email, social media and holding events front over the past couple of months, and to be honest I think this might continue for a few more.
I’m following my internal guidance to give focus to 1:1 Healing at my home as appose to holding space for groups.
And I am getting the call to hold Women’s Circles, Sound Baths, Meditations and Yoga online instead.
(When I feel the nudge to start them back up again!)
I have been teaching yoga at a studio near me for the community with all proceeds going to a charity called Fierce Calm, and the flows I have been teaching are focussed around the element of Earth…
With the intention of strong, grounded postures like Tree, Mountain and Plank, to connect our mind to the idea of growing deep roots and strong foundations before we begin to grow anything out in our lives.
I realised I have been guilty of not doing this with thoughts of “what’s next?” and “how do I want next year to look for me and my business?”.
This completely encourages me to avoid the little details and the little callings of my heart. This thinking of the bigger picture at this point in the year just all feels very left brain with a ‘quantity over quality’ mentality.
So, this Winter I have really been wintering, and unfurling into a relaxed way of being, knowing I don’t have to rush anything I want to create, achieve or grow.
This has definitely been helped by Mars, planet of action, having been in retrograde!
Plus Pluto moved into Aquarius in November and has already been creating cosmic shifts that has got me reassessing my relationship with ‘control’ and coming back to my reason behind everything:
CONNECTION | COMMUNITY | FEELING GOOD
I have been taking slow walks, slow morning coffees and spending time with family. I am yet to put any plans to paper as I know there’s a conjuring happening within, between my heart, soul and right brain!
The road for this year isn’t clear for me yet, so I am taking one day at a time, continuing with my studying in Sound Therapy, reading new books and listening to podcasts.
I could stress and allow thoughts such as “You should be making money” and “you shouldn’t lose momentum” to intrude this season for me, but I chose this life so I could listen to my intuition, and not listen to a dictatorship of ‘shoulds’.
Money is the fruit that grows on the trees and right now my roots are growing deep into the earth. I’m ticking the boxes I’ve left unticked and setting myself up for success, mentality, physically and spiritually.
I TRUST THE UNIVERSE HAS MY BACK.
Here is a poem I wrote which may help to activate your right brain and soften your left for a while:
WE ARE THE EARTH
We are the rocks, soils and seeds.
We are the underground oceans and the roots of trees.
We are the minerals and elements that live deep within.
We are the darkness and warmth where all life can begin.
We are not just on the earth, we are made of the earth,
Our energetic roots connected deep before birth.
And we shall return to her when all is said and done,
The cycle will continue as it all once begun.
We are the earth strong, stable and full of opportunity.
When we remember, we connect to our magic of all possibility.
Sending you so much Love,
Maybe I will see you online for a group session soon, or in my ‘Healing Room’ for a 1:1 treatment soon,
Siân ♥️
