Your spiritual practice is a container, a thing that encompasses you so that you can become MORE you.

Like salt drawn in a circle around your body, you can become protected in this container – you can become healed in this container – you can spill yourself into this container – and what is contained within this space is you - the 'you' beyond the form - the 'you' that exists within the circle but are not made of it.

What is your daily, sacred practice? And has your dedication created fold-lines within you that you can find easily again or do you find yourself needing motivation to keep at it?

Your emotions have not evolved since you were part of a nomadic, foraging community, thousands of years ago.

And although we have more words to describe how we feel now, our physiological emotions have remained unchanged. 

That means, even though our external environment has changed irrevocably in the last thousands of years - our bodies remain wired to an ancient way of living.

Is it any wonder those of us who are highly sensitive or identify with being an Empath find refuge in being closer to the earth? 

Is it any wonder we dream of speaking with the unseen world and long to belong to a soul-connecting community? 

Is it any wonder we feel exhausted in the loneliness of our parenthood or heartbroken at the abandonment of our elders?  

Is it any wonder that we feel disconnected in an era that allows us to be more connected than ever…wanting to be heard in a crowd full of voices and seen in a space where only some faces are celebrated?

Is it any wonder...

Our bodies are calling us back, through emotion, to the remedies that this modern world cannot heal alone.

Our bodies have been through so much this past year. They have been our first line of defence and hold the residue left from all the unpredictable events that struck us into fight, flight or freeze mode.  Our emotional bodies have collected the residue of this storm too. We can all feel it in ourselves, in the way we carry ourselves now and the heaviness we have accumulated.  But remember, it takes time for our bodies to heal - and what matters most is what we left behind.

This is a story to help get us through these slow and quiet times. It's a true story about my neighbour and their journey through last year. Some context you may like is that I live part-time in a cabin in the wilderness, where only a few people surround our land. The other half of my time is spent in Copenhagen city. Our cabin is located on a UNESCO heritage site and much of the land is wild with deer as frequent visitors.

I hope this story takes you to a place that can help you see through these days with a little hope in your heart.

Wake up in your soul's skin. A guided, visualization meditation for morning healing. It is hard to wake up fully embodied these days, so I hope this resonates with you and your journey into finding belonging in your body. This is especially suited to those who are emotional, have vivid dreams or require grounding in the morning.

Do you feel like you are in a state of perpetual waiting? These are the times we face right now... but could these times be symbolic of the work we are required to learn to love ourselves? To chalk out the pattern of what's inevitably to come?  Things will change, dear soul. They will because that is what life is and although you can't see it right now - the pattern you are working on is creating the skin you will wear in the future. Hold on and keep the faith...all is coming.

These short poetic stories have been created to show you the nature within yourself. Through symbolic language, you will be guided into seeing the unconditionality of your worth and inherent wholeness. These poetic pieces contain background music, nature sounds or binaural beats.

Listen to the introduction of Story Medicine, the new poetry book in the Soul Skin Series.

You can buy the book here!

This book is dedicated to those who seek a remedy of which this world cannot heal alone.

Story Medicine offers a remedial well of story, prose and poetry that aids every soul-sickness.

Ancient traditions have known the combined power of emotion, nature and story for centuries. They harnessed it through song, myth, fairytale, folklore, archetype and poetry; administering a specific story to a patient whose imbalances could not be understood by the mind alone. Something much more potent was needed for the one who suffered from deep beneath the human bone.


These days, we live in a type of soul-famine from the story medicine that used to nourish and connect us to the greater order of the cosmos - to our place in the natural world and our purpose in the community. 


But we still have the ability to self-medicate, and it is equally potent.


These stories have been wildcrafted from the wilderness: the one within and without - the one above and below – the one we live in now and the one our ancestors call us back to through the eaves. They seam the two worlds together to make medicine for deep and restorative healing. 


It is said that there is a story remedy for every soul-sickness you experience in your life. All you have to do is find it... 


This book will offer you the remedial seeds of symbolic, metaphoric and emotive language, so that you may begin to plant your own medicinal garden within yourself.
