Earlier this week walking to work I noticed that I was totally up in my head, thinking, planning and worrying about things in the past and the future. I caught myself and realised I was not in the now.

When I work with my clients in both psychotherapy and body work I encourage them to use their senses to come back into their body and into the present moment. A somatic technique that is helpful is the grounding and mindful exercise.

So this morning I tuned in to the following and you may also find this helpful:

5 things you can see around you
4 things you can physically feel or touch
3 things you can hear
2 things you can smell
1 thing you can taste

October has been a journey of connection & community. I'm coming back into the routine of work & life after an incredible few weeks of going within & also connection with community.

I feel so grateful to have had the space to explore zenthai shiatsu in the beautiful highlights of Inverness lead by the wonderful Valentina & Joey. Its teachings both in the body work, & a way of being.

This weekend I also had the pleasure of being invited by Caz to help her facilitate an incredible workshop in therapeutic touch, and an intoduction into zenthai, at hidden hearth festivals. Perfect timing, to really integrate what I had experienced in the Higlands.

I will share more about this experience over that next few weeks, but in the meantime here are some pictures. 🌺

I’ve been thinking about my dad a lot this weather, and some of our similarities. One being the constant quest of self-discovery & purpose.

My dad was always curious and what I have grown to admire in him even more was his passion to share the knowledge his was learning for example the teachings at the one world academy.

10 years ago, today as it happened, thanks to him I was off to India on my own to partake in an amazing experience called freedom in living. I connected with the most wonderful people from around the world and made life long friends.

So today I’m feeling that little bit more grateful for him and all that has unfolded over the last decade.
