Creativity is an experience that's often pushed to the edges of our lives— something we’re allowed to indulge in when all the important jobs are done. This is conversation about another role creativity could play in our lives...an antidote to anxiety. It’s about the way our brains work, the difference between the left and right hemispheres of the brain, and states of mind that block our dreams versus the states of mind that bring our dreams alive. What a perfect time of year to reflect on how much anxiety is really running our daily lives and how creativity could be used as a medicine that already exists within us.

What do you do when you know something that could help your loved one but they just don't want to hear it. How can we remain in our wise and true-to-ourselves state of being when we are in difficult relationships. This is a challenge we all face. It is the mud that grows the lotus, the obstacles that create the opportunities for deeper wisdom. This episode if a conversation and a few teachings I've been passed about how to look that the situation with a 'stuck' or unhappy loved one from a different perspective. May it be of service and activative the wise knowing inside you.

It's the rare bubble of time...the quiet of the morning, before the day really gets started. We can do things for ourselves during this time that are unlikely to happen at any other time of day. But whether we're wishing for a meditation session, time with our thoughts and a journal, a regular exercise routine or something else that fills our cup and starts the day off right...it can feel like the hardest thing to weave into our busy lives. A good morning routine. In this epsiode I share some ideas for the way I have evolved my own morning routine which never looks the same from day to day. I also share my favourite tips from writers like James Clear's Atomic Habits that take a totally new approach to starting (or restarting) those practices we really wish were part of our daily lives. Enjoy xx

Can we consciously direct the body towards a stronger immune system and deeper level of health? If stress can make us sick, can we harness this power of the deeper areas of the mind to make us well? This radical perspective on health brings us into contact with the wisdom principle in the body, a deep intelligence and organising energy that lies beyond the thinking mind. This episode is a conversation about the three areas of deep health and how the wisdom principle in the body works (including the powerful teaching from the placebo effect studies and new understandings of our immune system). Understanding how to access deeper parts of the brain through breathing and meditation techniques, we can reframe not only our perspective on health but radically re-imagine our own power at directing these wisdom processes in the body. 💫

Want to learn and practice these breathing and meditation techniques? I'd love to practice with you. Message anytime on IG @sarahbhunt or email me [email protected] and I'll send you details of my monthly online classes for you to have a look.

This episode comes as a spell to help us recast our ideas and assumptions about how to practice. Life is busy, time is a very limited resource...and yet what I continue to hear is that we woman need to be satisfied with finding scraps in the day to remember our Selves. That this is all we can really expect in these hectic times, and that sometimes taking three mindful breaths is enough. There is another more powerful way to both think about and approach sacred practice, ways to reignite our Intuition and deep Self that don't require Time in the way we're used to thinking. So come with me on a walk with bats, pheasants, autumnal trees and the wind, as we reframe what's possible for us as both everyday and sacred beings when it comes to finding moments of Presence and Inner Power in modern busy life.

I'd love to hear from you. Message me on IG here or email me at [email protected]

Whatsapp...we now have a new way for where inspiration, mental reframes, motivation to practice and Q&As can all happen. Step into the virtual MLB sacred fire circle with Whatsapp messages

deep in our hearts is a knowing of the original village -- a place where individuals were connected in community by our roles to meet each others' human needs. And in this original village was always a space for contemplation and connection to our inner world, the world of spirit, the world of the unseen forces that guide our lives. In this new season of the Messy Luminous Being Podcast we are co-creating that sacred space, the original fire circle, that used to occupy of physical reality in the village but was always truly located inside us. So when you need space to turn down the noise of the world and turn to your own inner voice, this can be your sacred tent, your higher ground, the fire circle you can step into. Onwards together xx s

In this episode I talk with Anna Neubert-Wood from Wander Women about the power of time in nature and with oneself. We discuss the "nature high", cold water swimming as a personal practice, and forest bathing. The fast pace of life can often make us miss what's going on inside of us, and Wander Women gives women the opportunity to experience a new level of self-care, slow living and reflection time. You are going to love this conversation!

This second and third parts of the Nervous System Masterclass are all about activating the Calm Creative State, including new science on our brainwaves and meditation techniques, and finally some key Mindset Shifts we can make to radically reduce stress by changing the ways we think which cause stress in the first place. I can't wait to hear what you think and how you use these mindset shifts in your own messy luminous life. 

There is real magic and possibility in understanding the wisdom of our nervous system, learning how to listen to it, care for it and harness its power. In this episode, I share part of a Nervous System Wisdom Masterclass I ran this month, with new science and new potentials. In terms of our nervous system and our body's reality, we live in two states of being — survival or creative. I know which one I want more of! Let's dive into this together...

Sometimes the big picture is much bigger than we can see. In this episode, I have a conversation with Annu Tara, founder of Aurora Earth, about her perspective on the sacred earth, what she calls the 'Restorative Timeline' and the way mental constructs have created a false over-lay to natural reality. This is a conversation full of the cosmic, the sacred feminine and a chance to step into another perspective of life beyond what we can see.
