Dear one, 

Old patterns fashion the body. 

Some habits weave these limbs so tight, they have closed you off from your Heart. 

And when that disconnect restricts you from seeing your true nature…look beyond yourself, your shape, and your body.

For there is a truer mirror to be used.

Take a moment right now, in the room that you’re in, in the space you occupy - and look closer. 

The table, once part of a woodland, once a forgotten seed sleeping in the soil, now, here in this room.

The material hugging your skin, once a crop soaked in warmth and nourished by the rains, a thousand strands of sunlight touching your skin. 

The food in your belly, grown by mother moon and her seasons, now having a conversation with your body.

The daylight cutting through the window, its glass made of eroded rock and minerals, eroded over millions of years.

Cultivate a closer relationship with everything around you and you will cultivate a more intimate relationship with yourself.

TIPS ON FINDING NATURE’S CONNECTION WHEREVER YOU ARE

- Use a different mirror. When you see something beautiful in nature, remember that that there is an element of yourself being reflected back.

- Connect with your breath, often. Everything alive breathes. Take a deep breath and think about how many other living elements are breathing with you right now.

- Find wholeness in imperfection. Everything in nature is imperfect. Not a single petal, root, wing are the same (often our definition of perfection). Find a marked tree, a leaf-eaten rose, a discolored patch of grass, and notice how the plant grows anyway, never believing in the story of its flaws.

POEM

Undulating valleys 

can be found in

the body’s

bending limbs,

wilder paths

in the 

untamed thickets 

of forgotten skin -

and reflected in 

the surface of 

deep blue water -

the Heart’s

unfettered youth

ever luring you back

into her depths.

Dear one,

Love will heal, once you let go.

Because it is in the holding on to these old stories that you are keeping yourself separate from the life being written by a greater hand.

Abandon, with grace, everything that turns this wheel of perpetual conflict. The one between yourself and others, and the one between you and yourself.

Even if there is anger left, you are holding on.

Even if there is fear left, you are holding on.

Even if there is doubt left, you are still holding on.

Abandon this inner conflict as if you would an old house whose beams and rafters buckle inward, whose floorboards have thinned and splintered, whose warmth seeps out through the gaping cracks and whose body no longer offers a home for your inhabitancy.

And when everything, including yourself, has been abandoned, so is but Love left behind.

Because, Love requires nothing, not even a someone (especially not a someone), to exist within you.

Love is the alkaline that balances life’s acidity into neutrality, chaos into calm, fear into radical acceptance.

And only from acceptance can you stand in the wreckage of your life and begin to rebuild it from Love, because only then are you standing within your true Self.

So go ahead and lose yourself, only to realize that it’s not you that's being let go - but everything else you’re not.

Journal Questions:

- What am I still harboring within myself that has passed and needs to be abandoned now?

- What are my fears surrounding letting non-serving things go?

- How can I practice neutrality more in my daily life and do I have any associations with being detached from my emotional drama?

POEM:
Love is

what is left

behind

when all else

has been 

abandoned. 

And to empty

yourself of 

it all 

will only

remind you of

how full

it feels to

to be 

unoccupied

by pain.

Love

is the 

silence

lingering

beneath

all sound.

Always available

to the one

courageous 

enough

to listen.

Dear one, 

Mushrooms have found a fascinating way to create an abundant future to exist within…

Fairy rings (or fungal mycelium) start as a single point and grow outward to form a circular shape. They continue to push outwards in an attempt to consume more nutrients from the surrounding area and when they exhaust the minerals found on the inside of the circle, they widen further and further to find richer food sources.

As these mushrooms grow, the center of the circle becomes a nutrient-depleted zone (a dead zone) where nothing is left to sustain its growth. 

The outer ring of the circle is dark green and lush because the roots of the mushrooms are forging the way ahead of themselves and breaking down nutrients in the soil, ready for its future inhabitants.

This incredible process results in an ever-growing circle that never chooses to go back inwards or cross over on itself because it knows that there's no new food source on the inside of the circle.

So too is your future being created beneath the surface right now - by the desire within you that seeks ahead to find more nourishing spaces to nurture your growth.


And as you grow, so too will you leave a greater space within you that contains your past.


And as you grow, so too will you unfurl into the future that has been prepared for you.


Trust in the desire that is pulling you forward and offering greater expansion.
---
What makes sure that your future is a lush and nourishing one?

- Intention - Intentions + consistency = your future. There is no greater nor simpler equation in life. Keep going, keeping creating small, daily intentions.

- Connection - How will you connect with yourself today? What will make you feel most grounded, spacious, and in commune with a greater Love? The more you connect with whatever is Divine to you, the more your future will contain that divinity and offer certainty that everything is working out for your highest evolution.

- Adaptation - Adaptation is not the opposite of manifestation. In fact, it is a prerequisite. Adapt to your current environment as best you can, making sure you changing what you can and surrendering to what you can’t. Remember: we are not here because we are the strongest but because we learned how to adapt.


In gratitude,
Sez
(If you enjoy these remedies, please feel free to pass them on.)

How do you really know when it's time to let go of your dream?
To let go of a person?
To let go of a belief?

When it leaves your heart.

This is a 3-minute poem to help you see that you are the gardener of your own life and it is your work to midwife what longs to come into this world and the reaper of what needs to go.

Prompts you may wish to ask yourself after:
- what are the reasons I keep justifying that this idea/dream/person should stay?
- what else could enter my life if I let this/them go?
- what could I spend my emotional energy on instead?

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.
