Quote I am enjoying
“Even when nothing is happening, something is happening. This is a difficult fact for the human animal to fathom — especially for us modern sapiens, who so ardently worship at the altar of productivity and so readily mistake busyness for effectiveness, for propulsion toward progress.” – Maria Popova
Video I resonated with this week…
April Energy Update – Lee Harris via youtube
I read and review a lot of different work in this field and while the messages explored in this update are no different from that which you may have seen from other sources I find Lee’s insights to be delivered with humility, grace and clarity. There are also a lot of practical suggestions for handling your energy right now…enjoy!

and One More Thing
Escapism
Showing up and facing reality is one of my core values.
Being brave and courageous with finding and owning your truth is of vital importance to me.
But what about when life itself is surreal?
Reality right now is shifting and tilting our perception of what is normal. We have been called to adapt to extreme and uncertain circumstances. Not knowing how we feel about this ever-changing landscape is to be expected and totally normal.
A beautiful way of getting more comfortable with the uncomfortable is by indulging our imaginations and our ability to fantasise….stay with me here…
The level of safety and security we feel in any one moment is determined by how much comfort we have with the level of certainty we have. So, for example, we feel safe getting on the train every morning because we know where it is going and what time we expect it to arrive at our destination.
We start to feel unsafe if we turn up to the station and it is empty – no trains, no people, no information. Suddenly what we expected was going to happen is no longer the reality we find ourselves in.
We constantly live with images of what we expect our future to look like. People who work with manifestation and Law of Attraction utilise this very fact by reverse engineering it…i.e. changing the images in our minds to create the future reality we want.
This concept highlights that there is a SPACE between actual reality and the images our mind conjures. A space we can arbitrage right now.
Rather than imagining exactly what you want your future to look like right now in the midst of all this uncertainty…why not instead take some time to let your mind run wild. Indulge in dreaming up total fantasies, read fantastical books or watch mind-blowing movies. Delve into weird and wonderful stories, myths and legends.
Right now, we really don’t have a handle on how this situation will play out. To get more comfortable with the uncertainty in our current reality we can get comfortable with how magical and mystical our entire reality is when we include our imagination and our story-telling capacity as humans.
Escape from the surreal reality that we live in at the moment and indulge your mind with the myriad of other options of reality that exist.
For all my sisters who have trouble staying grounded be sure to check in with yourself physically often and get enough sleep and time in nature (2m apart of course 😉)
