My Favourite Crystals for Meditation

Susi what crystals would you suggest for meditation and how would you use them? This is a question that often comes up towards the end of my 5 weeks to Calm course, and from people within my membership space so I thought I would pop it all together in this blog for you.

Adding additional things to our meditation practice such as crystals and essential oils (next blog soon!) can add a great support, depth and new dimension to your meditation session. I’ve made some suggestions of crystals you could use for certain supports however I would caveat that with there is nothing more powerful when selecting a crystal than using your intuition.

Although I have done a small crystals course, my journey to using crystals has been incredible. I have nearly always gone with my gut during selection and then found out the meaning of that crystal after. I would say 99% of the time I’m like wow, that makes so much sense....

When The Healing Gets Too Much, Grab Some Tootie Fruities and Remember Who You Are

As a self confessed self development and spiritual junkie one thing I have learnt the hard way is sometimes, you can be doing too much self development. Sounds confusing right. Are you thinking but Susi, surely improving myself is a good thing?

Yes it is great to look at old patterns that aren't serving you, mindset blocks that are holding you back, working through traumas big and small, maybe revisiting subjects and issues that you’d buried. Inner child work, looking back at your childhood and how this has shaped who you are. The list goes on and you can dig deeper and deeper and deeper. But what I would say is that there can be a dark side to this.

Yes looking at the hard things is important, this is often called shadow work. Looking at the sides of you, you want to hide, the parts of you where you maybe feel shame, guilt and less than. The parts you don't want others to...

Emotions, Sensitivity and Suffering

(I will be doing more personal blogging and sharing. This is what I am being guided to share today)

I had a revelation today. I am currently working through Julia Cameron’s, The Artists Way, morning pages and it's bloody challenging writing everyday in this way. But every day once you get the petulant, child out of the way i.e this is hard, there’s so many others things i could be doing, why did I decide to do this, I could just stop etc etc , there is always a nugget of something appears, a poem, an inspired thought, an alignment to who you truly are.

I am a hugely sensitive and emotional person and during this period of ill health I have really felt a little lost, overwhelmed by my symptoms, emotions and pain. But what I have come to realise and always do when healing is that it is all necessary.

There have been many times where all I have wanted to do is sit under the trees, reiki the earth, or just be close...

Time to Listen Up, Do You Believe in Synchronicity

Uncategorized Feb 14, 2024

Time to Listen Up, Do you believe in synchronicity?

 This week I am being constantly reminded of things. From the people I’ve been speaking to, the angel cards that I’m drawing for myself and others, the books I’m reading and even the video clips I’m watching. 
 
These signs we can often ignore thinking that we’re being stupid or they are non consequential. When actually they are very often signs from our intuition, higher power, the universe. Guiding us to the steps we need to take, or letting us know we are on the right path. 
 
Is there more to these meaningful coincidences?
 
Here’s an example I decided a few weeks ago I would start couch to 5k. I didn't! I then see a friends image on facebook having started it. Ahhh I think. I was going to start that. Again I forget and don’t start. I then do a card reading for a client and she tells me she’s been doing couch to 5k. I say oh my goodness...

My 5 Favourite Ways to Boost Your Immune System Naturally

Uncategorized Feb 14, 2024

With so much stress, fear and worry our immune system is taking a battering when we need it to be working at its best. What I discovered from living through a period of chronic stress, illness and adrenal fatigue is that our immune system can be supported in so many ways naturally.    With the rise in corona virus cases being at the forefront of the minds of many it is easy to slide into staying inside, comfort eating, lack of sleep, stress and worry. During these times its easy to feel overwhelmed and quite frankly helpless. Taking action and empowering ourselves is a fabulous way to shift out of this sense of helplessness into hopefulness.  Below I've included my 5 favourite go to immunity support solutions. I hope that they allow you and opportunity to reduce stress and worry and build strength form the inside out.

I’ve been feeling nervous, sad and fearful have you?

Uncategorized Feb 10, 2024

These are turbulent and extremely trying times. Usually I’m the optimist but I’m in this period, I’m experiencing waves of so many emotions. Worry for loved ones, friends, those with compromised immunity, my clients, the sustainability of my business. I’m being totally honest here as I think its important to be true and honest in how you are feeling even if it isn’t positive.

I wanted to write, to speak to share as I know so many of us will be feeling the same way. Putting on a brave face and pulling together. Either that or distancing and pulling apart. The divide saddens me so much. How we are questioning our behaviours, do we hug and kiss our loved ones. Any of my clients will tell you I’m a hugger and it really feels so off to even have to question our natural actions and responses. This separation and lack of connection pulls on my heart. The arguments in super markets the lack of compassion for other humans and the divide is getting...

Decisions Decisions

Uncategorized Feb 10, 2024

It’s been a while, since I have blogged and I am so ready to be back and get my creative writing juices flowing.

Life really is a roller coaster. I'm seeing huge shifts all around with clients, friends and family. All these shifts and changes have required making a decision. What are you postponing making a decision on? Are you struggling to decide on something big in your life? So often we are carried through life and we might miss something through fear of not trying. Fear of change, What if it doesn’t work? What if you really great at something but in your heart you know there is something more? Something you’ve been yearning for?

 

How do you make decisions? For me this week I have taken some time to reflect, time to be playful and time to be insular. It has been necessary to re-tract and review how am I feeling? What is working for me? Am I completely living my life full out? Maybe it’s the seasons, maybe its reflection after a truly...

Pain is Secret Messages of Learning

Uncategorized Feb 10, 2024

How often do we feel pain and really want to dive right into what is causing it? So often we are told or feel we need to dust ourself off, paint a smile on and move forward. What I have learnt through years of anxiety, stress, overwhelm and ill health is that this is seldom a solution. You will never outrun pain, grief or ill health. You need to turn and face that monster head on. When you do you will see love, tears and messages.

 
 
 

Yesterday I posted an emotional video on social media. I didn’t do this for sympathy as I was not sad or seeking solution. I was demonstrating that we all feel emotions. Emotions are our road maps. Anxiety, ill health, overwhelm are all road maps and keys to where we are out of alignment or have something to learn. It is so necessary to feel the pain. To listen to what our heart, mind and body are trying to tell us.

 
 
 

I’m not saying we spend our days wallowing in pain, but what we do is we look at...

I'm Only Human

Uncategorized Feb 10, 2024

I’ve always approached being ill with such conflict, frustration, sometimes anger but mostly emotion. As I teach classes this week on using meditation to support reduction in pain and anxiety I get hit with a tummy bug. Throughout this weeks class teachings we bring awareness and focus to the issue. We accept where we are currently at, we acknowledge and respect the associated pain and emotions. We certainly do not get really pissed at ourselves beat ourselves up for letting others down and then delve into a deep feeling of annoyance. Blaming ourselves for the condition.

Hmmm you can guess where I was at. As a coach in both health and overcoming anxiety I still struggle myself with somehow feeling that because these are my roles, It is somehow some kind of failure or reflection on my part that I could ill or anxious. I fail to remember that I am also a human being. Human beings have emotions, feelings, immune systems and periods of discontent.

As a huge supporter of others...
