Crete retreat 🤍
Huge thanks to my sister who gifted this retreat to me when she was no longer able to attend. Incredibly generous 🥰
TBH I thought I was going for yoga & meditation. What I experienced was far greater….
🤍Quiet head space simply from not having to think about my daily schedule. I just had to meet at a certain time for certain activities & dinner - I didn’t care where/what it was - it was already organised, I accepted & didn’t overthink anything.
🤍New perspectives from meeting 5 fabulous women I didn’t know.
🤍A quiet confidence going abroad alone & make new friends.
🤍You are never too old to jump off a catamaran for the first time & encourage others to do the same.
🤍Someone saying “I love you” to everyone in the group with the biggest smile on their face sets you up better for the day than “good morning”.
🤍Travelling & meeting new people is just heartwarming “it reminds you that there are more people in the world”.
🤍I’ll always get up early for a sunrise & will never take a sunset for granted.
🤍Kindness is everywhere.
🤍IPhones are water proof when they drop 4m to the bottom of the sea when they bounce the wrong way off the boat!

Thank you to everyone who made this so special ###

🌳✨ Next time you are out in nature… hug a tree! Your nervous system already knows what science is confirming.

Trees operate at a grounding frequency almost identical to the Earth’s own Schumann resonance, the electromagnetic heartbeat of our planet.

When you wrap your arms around a tree, something shifts.

Your body begins to synchronize. Trees are often cited as emitting subtle pulses between 0.1 and 15 Hz. This specific range is significant because it aligns with human Alpha and Theta brainwaves (associated with deep relaxation, meditation, and flow states).

Stress hormones drop, your heart rate steadies. The electrical static of modern life — WiFi, screens, artificial light — starts to dissolve into something older, slower, and deeply familiar.

This isn’t mysticism. It’s bioenergetics.

Your cells are electrical. Trees are electrical. The soil beneath your feet pulses with a charge. Forest bathing (Shinrin-yoku) has been studied for decades in Japan, showing measurable drops in cortisol and blood pressure after just 20 minutes among trees.

But hugging? That’s contact therapy — skin-to-bark, heartbeat-to-heartbeat.
To get the most benefit, experts suggest a “meditative hug” lasting at least 21 seconds—the time required for oxytocin levels to significantly rise. Simply find a tree that resonates with you, wrap your arms around it, close your eyes, and focus on your breath and the texture of the bark.
Some researchers suggest trees emit infrasound vibrations that resonate with the human body at a cellular level. Others point to phytoncides — airborne compounds released by bark — that actively calm the immune system.

Either way, your ancestors knew.
They hugged trees long before there was a word for frequency.

So find your tree. Press your palms flat against the bark. Breathe slowly.
Feel the hum. 🌿

You are not separate from nature. You are nature, remembering itself.

🌊 After your sound bath — a gentle guide for the next 72 hours
Your nervous system just went through something beautiful. Here’s how to honour that:
✨ Hydrate — SO IMPORTANT drink plenty of water to support the body’s natural release process
🍷AVOID alcohol
🍽️ Eat lightly — choose nourishing, whole foods and avoid heavy meals right after
🌙 Rest / Sleep — you may feel tired, emotional, or unusually clear. All of this is normal
📵 Limit screens — give yourself space before jumping back into the digital world
📓 Journal — capture any feelings, images, or insights that arose during the session
🌿 Move gently — a slow walk in nature can help integrate the experience
💧 Epsom salt bath — draws out tension and deepens the grounding effect
❤️ Be compassionate with yourself — emotions may surface over the next day or two. Let them move through you.
The healing continues long after the bowls fall silent. 🤍
Save this post for after your next session 💾

1. Made from pure Quartz — Crystal bowls are typically crafted from 99.9% crushed quartz, which is then heated to extremely high temperatures and shaped into bowls. Because the human body also contains silica (quartz), this creates a natural resonance between the bowls and our cells.
2. Each bowl targets a different energy center — Bowls are tuned to specific musical notes (C through B) that are traditionally associated with the body’s seven chakras, from the root to the crown. I select bowls intentionally to address particular areas of the body or mind during a sound healing.
3. Brainwave entrainment is a real phenomenon — The sustained tones produced by crystal bowls can encourage the brain to shift from beta waves (active, alert thinking) into alpha and theta wave states — the same patterns associated with deep relaxation, meditation, and the threshold between waking and sleep.

Meditation doesn’t always have to be lying down with your eyes closed.

It is fundamentally about cultivating present-moment awareness and a focused, calm state of mind.
Walking or other exercise can absolutely serve as a meditative practice when you’re fully absorbed in your surrounding, feeling gratitude, noticing the little things (like these very cute turtles sunbathing), breathing, the sound of the water, letting go of distracting thoughts.
This is called active or movement meditation.
Is there anything you are doing today where you can practice this? Just being present, breathing, noticing how you feel. 🤍

“The more I know, the more I realise I don’t know”. I read a comment by someone today that said exactly that and I totally got it. Do you feel the same?

Can you feel it?
Today is genuinely one of the most energetically loaded days of the year — a Solar Eclipse AND Chinese New Year landing on the same day. That’s rare and potent.
🐴 Chinese New Year: Year of the Fire Horse
The Fire Horse only comes around once every 60 years — the last one was 1966, a year of bold moves, challenges to authority, and a restless push for change.  Astrologer Letao Wang describes it as a sharp shift from last year’s introspective Wood Snake — we’ve moved from contemplating which path to take and shedding our old skin, to actually taking that path and galloping forward. 
Think of it as the universe going from slow and reflective to fast and fired up but don’t worry it will take you on a journey to get there. The energy is about speed and momentum — if 2025 felt like you were stuck in glue, this year wants you upright, moving, and making moves.  But there’s a catch: the Fire Horse’s intensity can easily lead to burnout if not managed with balance, so avoid impulsive decisions and overcommitting your energy. 
🌑 The Solar Eclipse (today)
A solar eclipse on a new moon is essentially a supercharged reset button — old things fall away, new chapters begin. Today’s energy actually asks you to slow down and rest, even though the Fire Horse year is screaming “go.” The invitation is to set your intentions quietly rather than rush into action.
🪐 The really big thing: Saturn meets Neptune this Thursday (Feb 20)
This is a once-in-a-generation moment. Saturn enters Aries for the first time in decades, joining Neptune there in an exact conjunction — marking what astrologers are calling a genuine turning point in collective human evolution.  Old structures and illusions start to dissolve to make room for something new, both globally and personally.
The week in a nutshell: rest and set intentions today, feel the energy shift into Pisces season tomorrow (more dreamy and introspective), and prepare for Thursday’s big shake.
✨A good mantra for now: be open-minded, be thankful, and enjoy the present moment — spending too much time worrying about the past and future means wasting the now.

The Frequency of Gratitude ✨
Before you drift into your next sound journey take three deep breaths and name three things you’re grateful for today.
It might be as simple as a good nights sleep, a chat with a friend, or simply the fact that you carved out time for yourself to be there.
When we attune ourselves to gratitude—even for the smallest moments—we shift our nervous system out of stress mode and into a state of calm awareness. We become more present, more open, and more receptive to the healing vibrations that wash over us during sound bath practice.
Gratitude and sound healing work beautifully together. Both invite us to slow down, to notice what’s here in this moment, and to honor the body’s natural capacity for rest and renewal.
Practice gratitude at your next sound bath. ✨

As 2025 closes, we honour this moment of transition—not because a calendar declares it, but because we need these pauses to breathe.

The truth is, time moves in its own rhythm, beyond any system we’ve created to measure it. Yet still, we gather at these thresholds because something in us recognizes the power of marking endings and beginnings.

This year held us through everything—the struggles, the growth, the unexpected turns. We carried what we needed to carry. We’re still here. And for that alone, there is gratitude.

Gratitude for our resilience. For the lessons disguised as obstacles. For the people who showed up. For our bodies that kept going even when our mind wanted to quit. For the small moments of beauty we almost missed but didn’t.

The snake has been guiding us through this year—reminding us that transformation requires shedding. Letting go of old skins, old stories, old versions of ourselves that no longer fit. This shedding isn’t loss; it’s creation. It’s making space for what wants to emerge.

Endings invite release. What no longer serves us can be set down now. Not because the date tells us to, but because we’re ready.

As we move into what comes next, there’s no need to force new versions of ourselves. Real change happens in the quiet spaces between breaths.

We don’t need permission from a calendar to begin again. We can start whenever we’re ready.

But for now, in this gentle closing, rest. Honour how far we’ve come. Feel the gratitude for simply being here. Trust that we’re exactly where we need to be.

The cycle continues, as it always has. And we move with it, in our own time, in our own way.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
