We so need resilience right now. Body resilience, heart resilience, soul resilience.

It feels to me that it is one of the most important topics of our time; how do we maintain a level of health, harmony and hope at a time when change, uncertainty and transition are arising daily in every country, every culture, and every community?

Oxford Languages define resilience as:

1. The capacity to recover quickly from difficulties

2. The ability of a substance or object to spring back into shape; elasticity.

So what is Radiant Resilience?

Radiant Resilience is so much more than just bouncing back from stresses and bad days! That isn’t radiance. That is hard work, slog, determination and effort. It is supposed to be so much easier than that.

You are not here to struggle, or strive. That is one of the most damaging programmes we have inherited and absorbed over the past two millennia. You are a radiant soul singing your song into the great web of life, and in doing so, you are co-creating everything about our world.

I define Radiant Resilience as a continual nourishment of balance; a tending to and emanation of harmony.

I want you to feel resilient, safe and protected every minute of your day. Because energetically this is exactly how you are designed to feel so you can experience your fullest life, your biggest life, your most beautiful life. Your entire energy system is literally hardwired for balance, health, resilience, cohesion, and interconnectiveness at every level. It is continually in service to you becoming you in all of your fullness.

It really is mind-blowingly beautiful to watch the way the human energy field moves in constant patterns of unfolding and enfolding, expansion and relaxation. A flowing out from your core and a coming in from your auric membrane. Huge patterns, tiny patterns, and patterns that weave all the different aspects of your energy systems together.

Your capacity for resilience is directly related to the ability of your energy systems to flow in these patterns, or rhythms, of resilience. When your energy is flowing as it is designed to do, as it is continually trying to do, you feel amazing – whatever your own personal version of amazing is.

You create your own energy, and are created by it. Your consciousness directs it and so you can change it gracefully, easily, and very powerfully, allowing you to bring your radiant resilience forward into every part of your world. You really are this powerful!

Your Boundaries of Balance

Your boundaries are essential for resilience. In fact, they may be the biggest single factor in resilience. And yet they are the area where I see the greatest challenge in most people.

Most definitions of what a boundary is holds the understanding of drawing and maintaining a solid line or defensive shield that cannot be crossed or penetrated.

Energetically this makes no sense whatsoever. We exist within that great collaborative and connective energy field of life, and therefore there is continual energetic exchange. It feels like our definition of what boundaries are, and how we can support them, are no longer serving our personal or collective needs.

I am suggesting we nurture and nourish our boundaries of balance.

So often our modern way of living means that we wake up with a long to-do list and make our way through it until we fall into bed in the evening. Daily pressures, paying the bills, meeting the needs of family, work, colleagues, cooking the dinner……

When you are exhausted and depleted, when you are a pressure ball of strain, stress and overstimulation, frantically running to keep up, your capacity to hold radiant resilience is greatly reduced.

And once we have reached this place of exhaustion, rather than feeling we need to put up strong, defensive boundaries that keep everything out, instead we can learn how to meet the differing needs of any internal and external situation with boundaries of balance.

Boundaries of Balance

• Are fluid and responsive

• Expand and relax

• Hold you strong and safe

• Support and empower you

• Create choice – the creative power of yes AND the creative power of no.

Boundaries of balance help you find the balance between being on your own AND being in community, between tending to yourself (body, heart and soul) AND tending to your friendships and the places you focus your collective care. They help restore the patterns that nourish and nurture your vitality, which are key components of your ability to feel healthy, hope-filled and resilient.

With every breath, every thought, every act, you are engaging in, co-creating and informing every part of life; your life, our life, life itself.

So how are you informing it?

What is the energetic vibration, the information that you emanate into this great web of life? And what are you choosing?

I want to share my Radiant Health Routine, which activates the radiance that is always present within you, bringing coherence to all of your energy systems and deeply grounding and nourishing your whole-body system.

Radiant Resilience is a choice. And I know you can make it.

With love,

How many times have you been walking down a street and ‘just had that feeling’ that you are being watched. You eventually turn around and catch someone quickly turning their head away.

How did you know this? Because your aura correctly interpreted the entering energy of the person’s look and informed your whole body system of that interaction.

One of the most important purposes of the aura is to protect you from external influences such as electromagnetic pollution, geopathic stress, negativity from other people, radiation and any other energy bombardment that you are walking or living within. When you are sad or depleted then the aura loses a lot of its vitality and buoyancy. When you are filled to bursting with happiness then the aura is literally buzzing with radiance and energy.

One of the most vital understandings about the aura is that at its edge it has a membrane that can be far denser than the rest of the aura. Acting like a magnificent shield, the membrane of the aura is your first line of defence, determining what energies will be allowed into the greater auric field to then be processed deep into your body. This membrane can be like a thick elastic band, or it can be so non-existent that your aura simply dissipates and merges with those external energies, offering no protection at all.

And at this point, it is important to emphasise what I mean by protection.

Share

I don’t mean that you need to walk around all day with your defensive shields up. I don’t mean that you take a defensive attitude to interactions and daily experiences. That form of living creates a strong fight-flight-freeze response within your energy systems, which in turn plays havoc with your adrenal glands and overall health.

What I mean by protection is allowing your balanced energy systems to move with knowledge and wisdom to protect your whole body system.

When your auric membrane is thick and elastic it acts as a first line of defence so that the rest of your energy system doesn’t have to engage in its defence/protection vigilance, freeing it up to work in its most effective manner. Remember that keeping you alive is the utmost priority of your energy systems. So when the membrane of the aura is doing its job well then you have more freedom, space and creativity within yourself.

The auric membrane also helps the aura hold its shape. At times when you are feeling depleted, or when you are being bombarded by electromagnetic pollution, the aura will shrink and become much closer to your physical body. This is a way of ensuring that the aura is still doing its job of protection and connection without being compromised.

Here is my favourite way of working with the auric membrane.

Take a few centring breaths, and then take your awareness out to the edges of your energy field. Where is it today? Close to you? Many feet away from you? A healthy aura will be at least to the edge of your fingertips when you arms are outstretched.

Visualise your auric membrane. Connect into its thick, elastic nature. To me, it looks like jelly (jello) sitting out there surrounding each of you!

Now imagine a colour that could help your auric membrane. The first colour that comes to mind is a great place to start. And if that colour changes as you work with it, then work with that changing colour as well. Colour is a vibration so you are bringing in whatever healing vibration you need by using different colours.

Start running this colour through the membrane with your mind, or use your palms to ‘paint’ the colour all around the entire bubble of your aura. Help it get deeper and deeper, thicker and thicker into the membrane, allowing the vibrational energy of the colour to rejuvenate and revitalise the entire auric membrane.

You can do this for as long as you want to, as many times a day as feels good to you. If you are in a place or situation that you know is knocking at your magnificent shield then do it more often than if you are in a place or a situation that you feel is already energising for you.

The most basic tenet of working with your energy systems is that you can evolve whatever patterns of dysfunction you are experiencing. The more you bring balance into that system, then the healthier and more vital that system becomes. This is turn creates a knock on effect of more health and vitality in the whole body system. Sounds good? I think so too!

In the video below I share a beautiful exercise for the auric membrane called Wings of Strength, I hope you enjoy it.

I want to share with you something that has changed my life.

When my Mum died, we had a ceremony a few months after her death and placed her ashes in a special place in the garden, planting a copper beech sapling in the same place. That little sapling is now a magnificent tree of over 20 years old. It is a sacred place for my family.

One day, a few years after her death, I was sitting with the tree, spending time in meditation and journeying. I sat cross-legged, facing the trunk. The ground was fairly damp and as I sat I buried my fingertips deep within the soil, anchoring myself in the earth. After a while I noticed that a lot was going on in my energy fields and so I brought my consciousness to what was happening and realised that there was an electrical energy moving through me that was much stronger than my own normal electrical energy. I watched, fascinated, as a deep, incredible wave of energy pulsed through my little finger and up my heart meridian into my body. My aura was beginning to move in great waves of 8s and spirals and such a deep relaxation took place within me that it felt as if I might never move from that spot. For those of you who have been lucky enough to have a really great treatment with someone that left you feeling recalibrated and relaxed in every cell in your body… well on that day, sitting there with my fingers in the soil, it looked and felt like I was getting the best treatment I had ever had!

Share

After a while, the waves lessened, almost like my body had received all that was necessary, and the activity in my energy systems began to lessen. The treatment was over. I felt completely charged up, like my whole being was full of balanced, revitalised energy. I have been in many sacred sites where the energy of the earth revitalised or informed me, but I had never experienced anything quite as tangible through my energy system. I had been plugged into the electrical energy of the Earth. I wondered if this was specific to my connection with this sacred place and tree…. was this a gift from Mum?

I left it for a few days, enjoying my vitality and radiance, before doing the same practice in a different place. It was just the same.

You have electromagnetic energy all the way through you and around you. That is why grounding is so important. The Earth has a north and south pole and as such is an electromagnetic organism as well. You walk on a blanket of electrons that cover the surface of the Earth and with each step you suck in these electrons through your soles.

So there is science to show that you absorb essential, life-giving energy from the Earth, and now you have a way to tap into that.

All you need is a little time and some soil, and it is possible to tap into an electric treatment more organically powerful and healing than any practitioner or machine can give you.

I have taught the Earth Electrics to many students who love to experience the deep revitalising healing it provides them. For some people, they experience excess energy or tension moving out of their body leaving them relaxed and recharged, others feel energy moving into their system leaving them relaxed and recharged, and others experience both of these directions. But the important factor is that it leaves them relaxed and recharged.

It can be done in your garden, in a park, in a field… anywhere you can sit or lie with your fingers in the soil. And it really is that simple.

• You can enhance your energy in order to be able to get the most out of working with the Earth Electrics by massaging your hands and feet before you start, opening them to allow the flow of energy to move through you unimpeded.

• And then you simply sit or lie on the ground outside in a position that you can easily hold for four or five minutes or more – even 20 minutes if you can.

• I recommend that you start with a few minutes and gradually build up from there if you are dealing with any chronic health issues or pain.

• Once you are comfy, bury your fingertips in the ground so that earth is right over your nails. Sometimes the connection is established within a minute or so, other times it takes several minutes and you can hold the position for as long as you have available to you.

• Relax and enjoy the gift of the Earth’s electrics moving through your body.

You can watch a video of me demonstrating the Earth Electrics practice below.

I have seen powerful and profound changes occur in people who work with this practice regularly, not only in their health and vitality, but also in their connection to themselves, others and all of Creation.

With love,

The late summer season is associated with the spleen in traditional Chinese medicine, an energy that is powerful, gentle and nurturing.

It’s the perfect time of year to focus on nourishing yourself, and gently supporting the gradual transition away from the heat and intensity of summer towards the cooling, more inward energy of autumn and winter.

One of the most important relationships within the meridian and organ system is between spleen and heart. Spleen nourishes the heart; in fact when we think of spleen energy we should always think of nourishment.

The Bai Hu Dong tells us “the spleen is the essence of the element earth. The highest function of earth is to nourish all creatures so as to give them form.”

Powerful, gentle and nurturing, spleen is the yin aspect of the earth element.

When our spleen energy is balanced then we are in a place of natural abundance, we are able to receive the abundance of the Earth, knowing we are nourished and provided for.

Spleen needs to be in balance to integrate or metabolise the activities, experiences and thoughts of our daily life, to be able to meet challenges with flexibility, strength and groundedness, and its relationship with heart is central to such integration.

Because spleen is also responsible for giving form, it works in keeping the physicality of our body juicy, elastic and ‘bouncy’… if you have bits of your body that are getting dried up and saggy then you know that you need to give spleen energy some help!

Share

When we look at the picture below, we can see how spleen energy (9am–11am) flows into heart energy (11am–1pm).

This is because of the vital role that spleen plays in feeding its nourishing energy into Heart. If spleen isn’t vibrant and balanced then there is very little juice to pass onto the heart system and depletion of the heartfield occurs.

So, how do we keep Spleen vital and balanced?

Spleen energy, more than any other energy in the whole-body system, is impacted greatly by stress. If we look at the image above again, we can see that spleen sits across the wheel from triple warmer, and triple warmer governs our fight, flight, freeze response system. Because of the relationship between spleen and triple warmer, they are hardwired to draw energy from each other. In traditional Chinese medicine understandings, relationships such as this are called the wife/husband partnerships because each needs to be in continual balance with the other.

When our triple warmer energy is triggered into high alert due to stress, then the very first place that it draws energy from is spleen. And spleen gives its energy willingly and in abundance. This generous giving reassures triple warmer, marshalling it in its defence of the whole-body system, thus bringing the system from alert to harmony. Spleen and triple warmer also are the energetic components of the immune system, with spleen providing nourishment, and triple warmer the defense. So, hopefully, you are getting a good picture of how vital it is to keep your spleen energy balanced.

In the videos below I take you through a few simple practices you can do regularly to keep your spleen energy balanced and support your immune system and your ability to thrive.

How was July for you? Full of wounds or full of wonder?

I truly hope the latter, and also trust that if you did come face to face with some of your old and limiting patterns (that we all meet, clash against, meet again and again and eventually dissolve into healing and harmony) that your meeting with these patterns brought you closer to health, closer to joy, closer to peace.

In fact, I’m quite sure they did; that is the way and the wisdom of your energy that is always moving towards your healing, even when it feels anything but. If you had a tough month then hold on to that truth and let it reassure you that you are perfect, just the way you are and that each breath brings you further along the magnificent dance of your unique soul path.

Do you know the poem The Guest House by 13th-century Sufi mystic Jalāl al-Dīn Muḥammad Rūmī ? Coleman Barks’ translation so perfectly captures this ‘sweeping out of the house’.

The Guest House

This being human is a guest house.
Every morning a new arrival.

A joy, a depression, a meanness,
some momentary awareness comes
as an unexpected visitor.

Welcome and entertain them all!
Even if they’re a crowd of sorrows,
who violently sweep your house
empty of its furniture,
still, treat each guest honorably.
He may be clearing you out
for some new delight.

The dark thought, the shame, the malice,
meet them at the door laughing,
and invite them in.

Be grateful for whoever comes,
because each has been sent
as a guide from beyond.

These last few weeks, I have been teaching an online course in energetic resilience to students who already identify as empaths or highly sensitive people. It has been a joy to share energy understandings that are already transforming their life as they step forward more and more in grounded stability, auric empowerment and sacred connection.

And this month we get to feel the same gentle and profound energetic holding.

Themes for August

• Wild wisdom of your mitochondria

• The soothing of your heart

• Gentle joy

• Re-membering peace

Share

This is what my guides say about the cosmic vibration this month and how it will be affecting human consciousness:

“The movement from silver is opalescent.

It can’t be anything different after the silver that we had in July.

It is magnificent, and brings the silver into peace, into a rose pink.

It soothes where the month before shattered.

It whispers where the month before screamed.

Dance with it, ride it and let it go into the very places that the silver penetrated and revealed.

Where fear was elevated last month, peace can bring an emerging courage.

A healing after the storm.

A remembering of the luminosity of the silver, an awakening to the new vibration and potential.

It is the vibration of rebirth. Of re-creation.

This gentle holding may be strange for many humans.

But it will be gentle and bring the whispers of more, of promises within of what is possible.

Crafting, singing, helping your re-weavings is the work of this month.

And resting if you need to.

Let the gentleness of this month wake in you something you have forgotten.

What have you forgotten? About yourself, about the world.

What are you remembering?

This is an alchemic time of transformation. Let the work of the past several months create the newness inside of you. This is the month for alchemy of the soul, alchemy of the spirit, alchemy of the mind and alchemy of the body.”

As I watch this cosmic energetic vibration moving into our human energy systems it is soothing, reassuring, singing its song of ease and gentleness.

And that sounds so very good to me! How about you?

As well as soothing the heartfield so it can synthesise and integrate your entire energy systems more and more fully, it is illuminating the mitochondria in each of your cells – those holders of the ancient matrilineal wisdoms passed down to each of us since the very first women and men walked in this world.

In my online video this month, we work with the energy of the mitochondria to activate your own wild wisdom and to weave the lemniscates of integration and communication through your whole body system.

Lemniscates are a profound and powerful energy form that your whole body vibrates and moves with, they carry the wisdom of all three levels of body, mind and soul into every cell, every chakra, every bone, every meridian, every organ and every layer of your aura. They radiate through your own energy system into the world around you, communicating, sharing information and supporting all that you are.

After the energies of deconstruction or dismemberment of the past few months, they re-member or re-weave you into more fullness, more you-ness.

You can watch the replay of my live August energy forecast session in my community space, The Gathering Ground where I shared more about how to align with this supportive and joy-inspiring opalescent pink energy.

May the blessing of this month sing through every part of you.

With love to you and ALL of your lemniscates,

Prune

Growing up in this era is an amazing, dynamic and stimulating time of daily technological advancements that are uploaded to devices ever attached to our fingertips. It can also be inherently stressful, with no or little time or space for more traditional ways of interacting with friends, nature or the broader social community.

When my son was a teenager, there were days when, if allowed, he would sit in our living room, playing computer games with five or more of his friends, while each were firmly ensconced in their own living rooms. All their communication was being done via either a headset or the type pad.

The constant thrum of social cyber living occurs in most rooms of most houses, as gaming consoles, computers, smart TVs and mobile devices provide entertainment, social networking, chat time, news, information, shopping and many other ‘needs’.

Bruce Lipton reminds us that the average child has access to more information in their backpack than was ever available to Maggie Thatcher or Ronald Reagan! We live in a very different world of information than ever before. And while there are huge pluses to this, there are also huge downsides.

Energetically we evolved at time when our greatest stresses were drought, famine and the sabre-toothed tiger. Occasionally there was a threat from a neighbouring clan. These were all very quantifiable stresses, and usually quite rare. We faced them as a social community and created solutions and survival strategies. We all, and especially our children, can work with energy techniques to help with both the insidious and overt stresses of our technological age.

I have plenty of opportunity to observe children. I grew up in a home of six children and an open door, and although I have only two children there has always been a constant stream of other children coming and going through our house with sleepovers, playtimes, visits and regular drop ins. I know for some parents that isn’t their ideal situation, but I love it. And there are a few things that I notice as I see children’s energy before, during and after interacting with screens (tablets, phones, consoles, television).

Share

The organisation of the energy fields before screen interaction and after screen interaction is significantly different.

• Up until about 60-90 minutes of screen time, the extent of post-screen disorganisation depends on the extent of pre-screen organisation.

• No-one is unaffected by being on screens, no matter how organised their energy fields or how short a time they are on the screen.

• Games that involve adrenaline (fighting/racing/shooting/being chased etc.) have a more immediate and greater effect on the organisation of the energy systems than those that do not produce adrenaline.

• It also takes longer to correct or re-organise their systems.

Some children (and adults) have more sensitive energy systems and as such are more affected by the energy fields of electrical devices. So, as ever with energy techniques, the good news is that you can do something about this!

It doesn’t mean ban your children from being on screens, or give up your job because it involves being in front of a computer.

Rather, learn how to keep your energy systems balanced so that you and they are more resilient to interacting with screens, and know what to do after using screens in order to minimise the negative effect and to evolve the energy systems into full health, resiliency and vitality.

So, what happens when you sit in front of a screen for longer than your energy systems can hold?

• At first the aura reaches out to the screen, assessing it and interacting with it. If you are reading information (such as a cooking recipe) then this interaction minimises as your aura recognises that it has an electrical and electromagnetic energy, but isn’t sentient.

• The energy from the screen can still freeze your electrical energy around your eyes but often just moving away from the screen and moving through your daily life (in this case making the recipe that you have just looked up), your energy fields will adjust themselves back to coherence. This is much more likely if you are in a good place of organisation and resiliency in the first place.

• If the screen interaction is a game, music video, YouTube video etc. then the aura continues to interact with it in a much more dynamic way. After a while, this begins to drain the aura until it is thin and holey in front of the trunk and face, and often detaches.

• Meanwhile, the cross-over patterns in the body increasingly become more and more homolateral (running in straight lines instead of crossing over), the ability to process neurologically becomes compromised and after a while, the ability to stay grounded or with the correct polarity also becomes problematic.

Time after time, I see a child with a dynamic, vibrant, connected energy system, sink and sink when involved with a screen until they look like someone who is managing a chronic illness.

Without energy techniques, the patterns do eventually rebuild, taking anything from 30 minutes to a few hours, but meanwhile you are managing a child who is feeling dreadful. This can show up as them being hyperactive, restless, exhausted, moody.

Does any of this sound familiar? And how about if you think about yourself, at the end of day on a computer?

So, what can you do about it?

If you want to learn more about how to protect and optimise your energy systems before, during and after interacting with screens, you can explore my series of three online classes about staying healthy and safe while socialising, working or interacting with screens, the first of which is free to sign up for.

In this article, I want to explore a very specific energy imbalance that almost exclusively affects women, and that is the hormone headache.

Hormone headaches tend to be the symptom of a deeply embedded energy habit that can be difficult to re-pattern into one of balance and health.

For those of you who have experienced them, their defining characteristic tends to be the way in which the headache sits over the whole head like a vice and creates a feeling that you are underwater, or deep inside a thick fog. There are no specific points of pain (such as behind the eyes or in the temples).

When dealing with other kinds of headache then the effort to access mental clarity can result in pain, but it is generally possible. When dealing with a hormone headache, mental clarity is impossible. You are literally being flooded with hormones that are getting in the way of clear cognitive processing.

Those days when you have a headache and it feels like you are having to claw through a 10 inch fog to even see – that is a hormone headache.

Share

So what are other defining characteristics of a hormone headache?

• Often hormone headaches can last for days, affecting every step, every breath.

• Hormone headaches will be just as bad in light as in dark and sleep may not improve them.

• You may notice that your headaches are cyclical and can be matched to specific times in your menstrual cycle.

• Many women experience them during menopause, for months at a time, and their memory is affected. This may mean you are unable to remember things while you have the headache (many people who work with hormone imbalances become reliant upon lists through necessity), and your memory may be greatly affected for days, even after your headache leaves.

When I see the energy of someone whose hormones are very out of balance it looks like they have dense static all over their body. The beautiful flow and dance of the energy systems can’t move through the static, compromising the flow of energy in the whole-body system. When someone is experiencing a hormone headache the static around the head looks solid, dense and spongy.

How many of you have had the fun experience of painting with sponges? You use the sponge to soak up the paint and wipe/smear/creatively pattern it all over the paper. Well, if you forget to clean the sponge when you finish your picture, you’ll find that the next time you pick it up it is hard and dense with the dried paint. There is a sponginess to it, but there is also a brittleness. This is the way the energy coalesces around the head when someone is experiencing hormone headaches.

When my perimenopause began, I went from being blessed with a mostly headache-free life to experiencing headaches regularly, and as my hormones continued to shift and upset the balance of my body, these headaches were quickly replaced with migraines.

Below I share an easy practice to help relieve pain and stress in the whole of the head – we know that stress is so closely linked to hormonal health, so this practice is a really lovely one for calming stress as well as relieving pain.

Your beautiful breath brings fresh oxygen and life energy into your lungs to nourish your whole body system, and with every exhalation you release stale energy and carbon dioxide, eliminating toxins to make space for more energy to enter.

This takes place every second of every day, keeping you not just alive, but healthy and vibrant. Most of the time, you don’t even think about it. From the first breath of life that filled your lungs, you have trusted the air to be available to you, for your breath of life, for your very life itself. That is an amazing and inspirational level of trust in something that you cannot see, touch or define. , your lungs are not just bringing in oxygen and releasing carbon dioxide, they are the carriers of your breath of life, connection, vitality, spirit, and inspiration. They’re the part of your energy system that turns challenging emotions towards inspiring emotions, that turn traumatic experiences into amazing rich gifts for you to learn from. That all happens in this incredible alchemic system of your breath, breathing in, breathing out.

Grief is an emotion closely associated with the lungs - grief of all kinds; for yourself, for where we are in our global connections and global awareness right now, for the places that you are suffering and experiencing pain, and for the places that other people and beings are suffering and experiencing pain.

Sometimes that grief can feel so overwhelming, can’t it?

I want to share a breathing practice that I find particularly beneficial – the ujjayi breath, or Dragon Breath as I call it. It is an empowering, centring way to work with breath to affect whole system balance. It bathes the adrenal glands in revitalising energy, strengthening the energetic core and sending this strength through all of the other energy systems, including the lung meridian.

It is simple to do, and takes a little bit of practice to get it, but the benefits to your health make it so worth the exploration. Once you get the hang of it you can use it anywhere and everywhere.

There are three basic steps to working with Dragon Breath:

1. Gently constrict the back of the throat as you breathe in and out so that you hear and experience a very slight rasping in the back of the throat. To me it makes the same sound that you hear when you lift a shell to your ear and listen for the sea. Gentle, rhythmic, powerful.

2. Imagine that you have a floppy balloon behind your belly button. As you breathe in the balloon starts to fill and you allow the breath to expand you in all directions. So the energy of the breath fills the belly, the ribs, the chest, the back, the sacrum, the pelvic floor, the waist, as you breathe horizontally, vertically, and diagonally.

3. Once you have worked with the two points above and feel comfortable with the constriction of the throat and the fullness of breath, then begin to work with the direction of the breath. Visualising the breath coming in through the feet, all the way up the legs, the trunk of the body and out of the top of the head. As you breathe out then allow the energy of the breath to flow through your Aura, back down to the ground.

Why ‘Dragon’? Well, for those of you who have heard the sound that a Dragon makes when it needs to increase its power you’ll know exactly why! When we engage in Dragon Breath our ability to interact with the energy from the Earth is greatly increased. We pull Earth energy up through our kidney meridian, which begins in the feet, and when we work with the Dragon Breath then it opens and activates that channel even greater. It looks to me literally like our bodies are sucking energy in as we work with Dragon Breath, bringing in that primal energy to revitalise the aura and nourish the energetic core.

If you want to be strong and resilient… enter the dragon!

Have you thought of your home in those terms? As a unique and complete energy field that you are continually living within?

I know you’ve experienced walking into a room or physical space and immediately feeling relaxed, connective, happy. You might have even said, ‘It feels really nice in here’ (that was you consciously perceiving energy and expressing it) AND I know you’ve experienced the opposite and have walked into a room/house/physical space and felt a bit less, a bit pressed in or just a little bit yucky. You can’t quite put your finger on it, but you feel happier when you leave that space.

I remember in my teenage years regularly visiting my sister and her sweet babies in their new cottage. Downstairs was lovely, warm, friendly and inviting. But I would avoid going upstairs as much as I could because as I stepped onto the top stair I would be doused in icy cold energy. This cold would hit my chest and almost knock the air from me. I would pause for a moment, catch my breath and continue. There was nothing sinister about it, just a powerful shift in the vibration that wasn’t comfortable. Several years later, some research on the house would reveal its origins as a slaughterhouse and there was obviously some stuck energy in the upper area of the house that still needed some balancing.

So I want to share with you how you can nurture the energy of your home, so it can nurture you right back.

It may well be that the energy of your home is the energy field you are in more than any other, especially if you work from home.

The energy of your home is the energy field that you are living within, sleeping within, laughing within, crying within, dreaming within, everything within.

Because of this, your human energy field is in a constant relationship of exchange with it, and that knowledge prompts a question; how are you caring for this relationship?

How you can nurture the energy field of your home:

1. Bring your awareness to the fact that your home has a unique and specific energy field. Even if you live in an apartment block, the energy of your space will be different from the energy of the neighbouring apartments. This is partly because you are essential in creating aspects of this energy field, but it existed before you moved in and will continue after you leave, so it is something bigger than simply an extension of your energy fields and awareness.

2. Greet your home. Every day, when I first walk down the stairs from my bedroom to the kitchen, I always say Hi to my home. It is a little daily ritual for me. The words change depending on what is going on for me and the rest of us in the family. This morning my words were ‘Hi, Home. Hi Spirit of the House. Thank you, thank you, thank you. Wow, it is beautiful today (as the sun was shining through the front door). Thank you so much.’ I love my home, deeply. My spoken ‘thank you’ is an appreciation of everything that is held by the energy of my home; the dry, warmth, safety, the space to grow, to grieve, to dream, to do powerful work. My home supports me in every part of who I am, including the stroppy stressed parts and the parts that are so glorious that I haven’t fully claimed them yet. My home knows all of me, and I am so grateful that I am held and cared for.

3. Notice when you enter the energy field of your home. When I return from being outside I fall into the energy of my home as if I’m greeting a beloved friend. Because I am. And that beloved friend greets me right back. The energy changes because I am now within it. Just as it does when any other member of the house leaves or enters. If there is one constant about energy it is that it constantly changing. When you are in conscious relationship with your home, this beautiful and immense energy field will continually be shifting, changing, and adapting to hold you in fullness. It is an anchor, a grounding, a hug, a constant source for you no matter whether you are within its walls or not. Just like a beloved friend.

4. How about embarking on this challenge: For one week, as you open your door and enter your home after being out, greet your home. Perhaps even give appreciation for it. I think you will be amazed at how different you feel and it feels as you begin to have a deeper level of conscious connection and exchange.

5. The energy of gratitude and loving connection changes everything about your own energy field, and also the energy field of your home. It lowers your heart rate, calms stress and allows the energy of joy to flow more easily through every one of your systems. Another small but profound act that you can do to deepen the joy within you and within your home is to light a candle in gratitude and conscious connection. If you are new to the concept of the exchange of your energy fields, and your power to affect them, then there may be the question of ‘What does that mean!!? What do I say? How do I do that consciously’. Every day, you have the ability to engage in what I call the Daily Sacred. Tiny, simple acts and thoughts that connect you into the great web of life more actively and consciously, for you are always connected to the web of life whether you are conscious of it or not. By thinking things and doing things that bring awareness to this connection you activate a more empowered joyful connection, and this affects everything about your energy on the level of mind, body and soul. Maybe you are going to eat your meal and you light a candle while connecting into your feeling of thanks to your home. You may say something to that effect out loud, or simply in your mind and in your heart. Perhaps you have a shelf in your bedroom that could house something that represents your home for you, and that is where you can keep a candle, and once in a while you light it to nurture the energy of your home.

When you are in conscious connection with the energy of your home, you also notice when something is a little bit off. Perhaps you and your beloved are going through a bit of a challenging time in your relationship and you need that extra bit of support and groundedness to evolve through the challenge together. Light that candle and ask your home to help. Or perhaps you have a child that is struggling at school. Light that candle and breathe with the energy in the home, determining together to make home life even more stable, nurturing and healing for your child. Perhaps you are going out to a job interview or to do something that is worrying you, as you walk through your door and out into the world, ask the energy of your home to help you feel more courage, knowing that at the end of the day it will be there to welcome you once more into its warmth, safety and welcoming space.

​You are in relationship with every part of creation; my wish for you is that as you become more and more aware of this, your home becomes truly the home of your heart, your courage, your hope and your joy so you are able to shine this energy not just into your body, your family, and your community, but that this foundation of strength empowers you to shine these qualities into the whole wide world.

With love to you, and your home,

Ouch. This month may hurt. Or it may be marvelous.

And yes, with a smile in my heart, I realise that these opening lines may be a next to useless thing to write, and yet it remains important to understand as we travel through the vibration of this July energy.

Your consciousness, your thoughts, where you put your attention and how much you have been nurturing your deep self this year will all play into whether this month will be one of challenge or one of brilliance.

With the big full moon of the end of June/beginning of July, for the first time this year we enter the cosmic vibration of a fine bright brilliant silver, a forerunner of what is to become our usual vibration to live within over the next few years.

Remember colour is vibration, vibration is energy and energy is information.

Every moment of every day you are bathed in cosmic energy (including the energy of our own Earth) and, as an energy field yourself, you are being continually informed by it. This means you are being continually FORMED by it, not in a predestined and absolute way, but as a human energy field you get to co-create with this energy, you get to meet it with consciousness or not, you get to align your own light and shadow with it, or not. You get to be illuminated and supported by it, or not.

Every moment of every day you have the choice to experience your life as full of wounds or full of wonder for you are always in exchange with the magnificent energies of our world and of the cosmos.

I love this understanding and am so grateful that by seeing energy all my life I grew knowing this to be the case.

We can never be alone, never be without support.

Share

Isn’t that a beautiful understanding? You, me, everyone, are continually supported in your becoming, in your growth, in your emergence.

And what an emergence it is. For a moment, think back to the beginning of this decade (only 5.5 years ago!) and how much you have changed, transformed and emerged since then. Indeed, how much we as a human collective have changed and transformed. In January 2020, just over 5 years ago, we were living in a world that was on the brink of experiencing the first Covid lockdown and the huge change that that brought to us individually and to the world as a whole. The only constant is change, emergence, becoming. How are you becoming? Who are you becoming?

Emergence.
Transformation.
Living the life you are here to live, in its fullness, in its radiance.

This July you get an invitation to step into Silver one more time, to experience it, to align with it, to get curious about its potential within yourself. For the energy of our planet is shifting and we are in the midst of a huge consciousness shift that will see this silver vibration inform our growth over the next 30 years. You can read more about that here.

We have met and been informed by this silver vibration several times in the past few years (it feels like the universe is preparing us for this consciousness shift in a gentle and magnificent way!)

2020: August and October
2021: December
2022: February
2023: May
2024: July
2025: December
2026: July

If you are interested then do read July 2024 Energy Forecast again as it is still so very true for us this month.

And yet, you are two years further on in your emergence since that point. You have been working deeply and I hope joyfully to become as you live the unfolding path of your soul from birth to death.

So you will meet this silver energy differently than you did two years ago.

In February this year I wrote of the importance of a practice of stillness (and a practice of movement!) and since then the intensity of energy has been building. Yes in deeply supportive ways, but building in intensity none the less.

And all of that richness and bigness has arrived at this initiatory point of our first silver vibration of this year, where you are invited to leap once more into greater connectivity with the collective energy of our times and with becoming fully empowered as someone weaving the way of not only your own life, but of our healed world.

Remember the big themes of silver:

1. Weaving the Way

2. Conscious Choice

3. Being Hope

4. Radiant Resilience

5. Radiant Resolve

6. Balanced Exchange

7. Communities of Connection

8. Holding Peace in the Palm of Your Hand

As always with silver, you will find that your energetic perception and sensitivity will expand, and I know that that may not feel encouraging news for those of you who are already struggling with staying in your grounded radiance with all that is going on in the world, but remember, this silver vibration also offers you the immense support of the cosmos too. Think about when you have stared at the night sky, in awe and wonder at the utter mystery of the world. You might have felt really small, possibly even insignificant in the vastness of that mystery, but you also felt a part of it. You as witness, you as wonderer, you as the co-creator of your vision, your world, your mystery. You as life. This is the same with the silver consciousness. It offers vast healing and constant support.

For the first time in the years that I have been translating monthly energy and writing these energy forecasts for you, I am not filming a separate video and practice for this month.

This is what my guides say about this month:

“This is where the practice of the past few months that February invited comes to its fullness. For those who have held practice it will be a month of enlightenment, filled from the energy of the red earth empowered and now honed. For those who haven’t, it may feel relentless. It can also help to go back into the peachy colour of May and remember the peace, the heart ease. Can you invite heart ease here too? Can you re-member it in your whole-body system? This will help too.”

So, clear guidance to continue working with the February and May practices.

I am putting videos of these practices below. Work with them, play with them, be curious and explore which ones are most nurturing and nourishing for you.

You can also find the essential Codes of Consciousness practices that are designed to help you meet, ground, emerge and transform within the shifting energies that will be present in these upcoming years on this page on my website.

And finally, to help you navigate these powerful times of transition, I am sharing an excerpt from my live Energy Forecast session below that took place earlier this week in my membership space, The Gathering Ground, .

You can watch the recording of the whole session, as well as enjoy all the other resources available to you there, in The Gathering Ground.

One final word from my guides for July and the intensity that it may present: “Just breathe and love. Fall in love with the world again, be part of its rebirthing. Fall in love with yourself.”

Wishing you the delight of falling in love with yourself, this month and always.

Modern children are not like us, and by ‘us’ I mean the generations that now find ourselves parenting these amazing kids.

I’m quite sure that every generation has had their challenges and struggles with the attitudes or norms of their parent’s world, and yet there has never been a generational ‘norm’ shift quite like we have gone through in these last 25 years. Your children deal with super speed in every direction of their lives, instant gratification, same day delivery, food on demand, and screens replacing personal relationships.

This means that the parenting strategies that worked (or didn’t work) for your childhood are not appropriate anymore, for the world is a totally different place. And this applies to navigating holiday time together too. Travelling with your wonderful, modern children can be challenging, especially while there are uncertainties in the world about where you may or may not be able to go, with whom, and what you might need to do to comply with any local rules and regulations during your time away and when you get home.

Before I take you through my guide to traveling with children, it feels important that you can get a feel for how and why your child is different from an energy perspective, and the familiar signs and patterns of behaviour that can show up because of these differences.

• Their energy systems operate much, much quicker than most adults alive today (although there are some exceptions).

• Nearly all of them are highly sensitive and experience the world at a sensory level that would baffle, confuse, exhaust and overwhelm most adults alive today. If you are familiar with the term ‘empath’ then this (multiplied by 100!) would be applicable here.

• They are hardwired to understand collective consciousness, which means they feel the pains, the griefs, the losses, the uncertainty, the fears, the EVERYTHINGS in the world. As you can imagine, right now, that is more overwhelming than can be imagined!

• All these differences may show up as social anxiety, self-harm, depression, eating disorders, panic attacks, extreme sensitivity to being around others, over-stimulation of senses, ‘playing up’ at the dining table, night terrors and nightmares, and so on

  .

Let’s move on to the ways you can best support your children and help to keep their energy system, and therefore your time away together, healthy, happy and balanced.

I love travelling, in fact I have recently returned from a week of being on holiday with my daughter. What a great time! She is an adult now, and it reminded me that travelling with modern children can present huge fun, huge intensity and with the occasional huge challenge thrown in. But I’m so glad to share my tried and tested navigational aids that I use every time I go away with my family. I’ve also seen these approaches work for my friends, family and the clients I worked with over 20 years in private practice.

Just for clarity, I’m using the word ‘children’ to mean 0-25 year olds (I know, I know, 25 year olds aren’t children, but it was about 25 years ago when I began to notice big changes in the energy systems of the very young. I have now watched those young babies grow and watched the subsequent years closely and continue to see the same energetic changes occurring, perhaps even more so now).

Down time when travelling

Modern children need more processing time. If you are the kind of parent who plans days, then plan in some down time. Perhaps it is just sitting in a quiet place in a park or a car, but for most of these modern children it will actually be in a room, lying on a bed or engaging with a screen. This is because their sensory input systems are much more expanded and developed than yours and they need down time to process out all of the noise and energetic intensity.

You may walk down a street and notice it is quite crowded, and perhaps you notice some of the clothes or the hair colours or architecture or whatever grabs you. Your child is noticing everything, and probably trying to slam up all kinds of defences to keep out the huge volume of energetic information coming in; that person’s anger, this person’s addiction, this person’s grief, that person’s fear. Have you ever been in a concert that is so loud you feel your ears and head wincing? Well that is what it is like for your child. And for them that is normal.

However, when they are in familiar places (wherever you live) then it is more possible to dial it down, when out in new places their ‘energetic antennae’ are more focused, less secure, which means that there is no dimmer switch available for them.

Down time helps clear all of this energetic debris from their energy fields and reset them back to ‘them’ rather than ‘them struggling with everyone else’. This understanding can help prevent those horrible evenings of your child melting down just before dinner and the entire family feeling like the day has been ruined. If you had experienced all they had that day, you’d likely have done a lot more than have a melt down at the dinner table!

As a parent or guardian of a modern child you will probably be familiar with one of two experiences:

1. You go to a new place on holiday and for the first day or two your child loves it. Then gradually they get more strained and drained. They need more down time, less family time, they may need to miss out on family meals and have them in their room or a separate place. They are challenged being around you and keeping up with the itinerary and this shows up in withdrawal, melt downs or arguments.

2. You go to a new place and almost immediately your child is hyped up. Everything is exciting and stimulating, and they just keep getting higher and higher. Sugar fuels this hyperactivity and soon it develops more into hyper sensitivity. Now your child is ungrounded and in many ways unsafe for themselves. They begin to do things like running out into the road not seeing the car coming, or bashing into slower people walking down the road, or dropping what they were holding. They are distracted and in many ways, frantic. I have worked with so many boys like this, easily labelled as ADHD or troublemakers when actually their energy systems were unable to process as needed and so it is a bit like being inside the proverbial washing machine with your energy going round and round, crashing this way and that.

There is little that I can compare it to for parents who are not wired like these modern children and the closest I have seen is when a parent fears she/he has lost their child.

Have you ever been to a fairground/packed beach/festival and you and your child have become separated. That huge crashing, overwhelming, panicking fear that totally takes over every part of you. That is the only time I see older people’s energy systems doing what those modern children experience frequently. (Although to be clear, I’m not saying that there is always fear at play in the modern children who go super hyper. Maybe, maybe not, I’m just using the analogy to give you an example of a similar level of energetic/emotional override).

Book accommodation that is as quiet as possible

Staying at a hotel in a busy theme park may seems like a great idea at the time of booking, but in light of everything that I’ve written above, it can be much better for your child, your family and therefore your entire holiday experience, if you can get away from ALL THAT ACTIVITY. It doesn’t matter if they can’t see it or hear it, if they are sleeping within it then they’ll be being actively stimulated every waking and sleeping moment, which means by day three they will be strung out and exhausted. If you are visiting a city or a busy town try to choose accommodation that isn’t on a main junction or in a busy area.

Energetically clear the room before you go to sleep

Ok, I know I’m getting into the realm of ‘woo-woo’ here, but you will notice such a difference in your child’s ability to sleep in hotel rooms or self-catering accommodation that I’d love you to temporarily suspend judgement as you read this, give it a go and then make up your mind. People have incredibly active energy systems while they are asleep.

Hotel rooms, motel rooms, Airbnb places, hostels, log cabins; no matter where or how you rent a room to sleep for your holiday travel they will be a massive repository of energy. Think back to when you have stayed away. Have you ever been in the room and...

• Had an argument

• Had steamy sex

• Got on the phone to a friend and had a really good rant about something

• Felt guilty, angry, resentful, excited, anxious, fearful...

Every emotion is an energy, and unless you are really trained at containing and harmoniously processing your own emotional energy(!) then that energy spills out of you and stays in rooms. You have definitely walked into a room/space/building and perceived that you felt ‘good’ or ‘happy’ or ‘a bit spooky’ etc. Every building and possibly every room has its energetic imprint. Rented rooms have super high turnover of residents, meaning that there is a lot of emotional energy that can be stagnant in the room.

When you are travelling with modern children then they will be greatly affected by this energy in their temporary bedrooms, leading to shallow sleep, fear, nightmares, or simply that groggy feeling the next day as their system struggles to process it all out.

Here are some simple tips

1. If possible get some good airflow through the room

2. Use the techniques in this blog to clear the room. You may find that your child loves doing this with you, or that they like you to take responsibility for this action. I generally have a little spray bottle of rose water with me and spray each of the corners of the room, giving gratitude to the room for housing us for the night and inviting all of the energy in the room to be balanced and healthy. I also do this before I leave. I don’t want to leave any junk for anyone else to have to process in their sleep time!
   

Avoid sugar, especially at breakfast.

Groan, groan, groan, the old sugar demon rears its head.

When a child, or an adult for that matter, has sugar then their energy system gets ramped up in speed and activity. This can mean that they become very ungrounded.

Essentially, from that point on, the already super-speediness and sensitivity of your modern child’s energy system is only going to struggle more and more to process the energy of the day. If you have experienced those days on holiday when things go from bad to worse, from the start of the day, then it is very likely that sugar was a contributing factor. I deeply believe in the sweetness of life, and that sweetness in food can so represent that, and yet there are many ways that food options for your modern child can suit them to be able to stay more truly themselves rather than their sugar-fuelled twin!

Practices to help ground, calm and soothe your child (and yourself!) when travelling

In this video, you’ll find a series of energy practices to help reduce stress and encourage grounding and a sense of calm. You’ll find lots more practices on my YouTube channel.

I hope that this guide helps you and your family enjoy the deep times and joy of growing together while exploring new places.

Much love,

Your energy fields are fields of consciousness; when you are able to bring them into greater and greater balance, your template of health can radiate through all aspects of you.

The result is that you can live the most joyful and empowered expression of yourself.

Soul care is healthcare so to re-establish your template of health with all that that means, it is necessary to help shift the old patterns and limiting programmes that are running in your energy and limiting the full expression of your template of health.

One of the most prevalent programs of our modern age is fear, but I want to tell you that your soul knows no fear. It is not a programme that the Internal or Connective Soul will ever run. Your soul knows no fear.

But for many of you, however, fear will be a silent companion in your life. And I don’t mean a companion that is hanging around to silently support your growth and expansion. Fear can be a programme that limits your full expression of yourself, until one day you realise that you are simply surviving through your own life.

I want to be clear here that I’m not talking about the burst of fear that can help you recognise that you are driving too fast into a tight corner, or the fear that grabs you when you are about to step out onto the road into the path of an oncoming vehicle. That fear is life sustaining, it is based on your fight/flight/freeze response and is designed to keep you alive when you are in the face of danger. It is about survival. In the wisdom of the physical, your fight flight freeze response, and all the energetic systems that go into ensuring that it is working beautifully for those life-threatening situations, is a magical and essential part of you.

Share

But have you ever considered the times in your life when you were running that programme of survival, even though your life was not in danger? And perhaps I shouldn’t be talking in the past tense here...

Are you living a life of survival? Do you function to pay bills, get that promotion, fulfil that job spec, meet the needs of the people in your life?

The fight, flight, freeze system can get stuck, and you begin to experience being a sort of auto-pilot in your own life. You get up, you do what you do, and you go to bed. Over and over and over. You take a two-week holiday to try to discover and put the pieces back together. You display your perfect holiday pictures on social media to show that you have the ideal life. And then you get up, you do what you do, and you go to bed. (Don’t give up reading this. I promise we’ll get to what you can do to change this situation).

You might recognise that you are in this auto-pilot place and that you want to change it, but the fear programme is on hyper-vigilance and is running the show, and it is a really powerful programme. Remember, this programme is designed to keep you alive. For many of you this will show up in stress, imbalance, burn-out, dissatisfaction with your life and with the world. It may move into anger at others, hatred of yourself, or a deep depression as you feel ever more disconnected from the depth of you, and from the reason you were born. This can change! (Very important take home point!!!) And for hundreds of thousands of people this changes when they begin to meditate regularly, they take up tai chi or yoga, they fall in love, or discover a new creative passion.

Remember, your energy fields of consciousness want to keep you healthy. Your whole body system is designed for you to express and live your soul life.

So how can you de-programme this survival fear?

There are several steps to this, and the first one is simple. Start dreaming. Dream what you WANT your life to look like. Without an alternative, your energy fields won’t be able to create the new neurological pathways that you need. This is where you get to be a solution-based dreamer. (It’s awesome, try it). You get to really think up your fantasy life. And don’t get hung up on things like winning the lottery. Yes, money can buy you happiness, but only you can actively create your own happiness. Money can buy a lot of confusion and sadness too. The point is not the money, but you and how you can engage in your life. If you can be happy in your life right now, then that is worth more than anything. When you are happy your soul expression will shine through you, inspiring others and bringing balance to our world.

DREAM your life. You are the co-creator of the world, including your personal world. What brings you joy? What does a joyful life look like to you?

Right now, as I’m writing this, here is my dream:

I dream my life as living joy. With each breath I take, I breathe in vitality, energy, inspiration and joy. My relationships are active and weave a network of gifting, and it is OK if sometimes the relationship gifts are challenging to me, I know that they will help me expand deeper and deeper within myself. But I don’t want too much challenge. I dream gentle expansion, and gentle growth. I vision lots of laughter and community and deep sharing. I vision my vibrant health, with my body easily keeping up with my soul needs. I dream a life of sharing hope. This is powerful for my soul needs. I dream an empowered, joyful life.

What does your joyful life look like? Give your energy fields an image, a dream, a vision to form around, in health, vitality and joy so that your whole-body system can bring this dream into reality and you can live the life you are here to.

With love, Prune

The recently released GLP-1 medicines for weight loss continue to make body size and image a contentious topic. Social media is saturated with conflicting diet and weight loss advice, and magazines devote thousands of pages a year telling you something about your weight, and whatever it is, it’s unlikely to be self-empowering. Or it purports to be self-empowering, and then every second page features adverts selling something to achieve a slimmer, sexier you.

If you struggle with your weight or body image, then know you are not alone. Statistics around weight are staggering, with recent figures suggesting that:

• 25% of adults say that they think they would be happier if they were thinner, when in fact they are not overweight.

• Between 25%-30% of men and women expressed dissatisfaction with the way they look.

• 60% of women say they cannot stand the way they look.

• Only 4% of women feel totally happy with their body. you’ve tried many times over the years to lose a few pounds so you can feel more confident in your summer clothes and swimwear but nothing shifts, leaving you feeling disheartened and discouraged.

• Between 11 and 13 million people in this country have psychological issues or problems connected with food that often leaves them, in effect, on a permanent diet.

Too much or too little weight can be related to serious health issues such as malnutrition, diabetes, thyroid imbalance and heart disease. Bulimia and anorexia nervosa compromise the quality of life for thousands of women every year, and increasingly men.

The good news is that energy approaches can be powerful with all aspects of weight issues, from reconnecting individual self-esteem, to changing negative eating patterns, to rebalancing your body’s ability to digest and assimilate the nutrients in food.

There is also a lot that you can do yourself to ensure that your relationship with food and nutrition becomes one of balance, health and vitality. Because, you eat every day! There is no getting away from your relationship with food, so the priority becomes to make it a relationship that is healthy and nourishing.

I want to leave you with five great ways to be in good relationship with your weight:

1. Help your metabolism by stretching regularly.

Energetically this keeps the Spleen meridian flowing well so that you can metabolise easily. Below is a practice for metabolism and to keep stagnant energy moving. This will help prevent toxins settling into the system.

2. Help your fight/flight/freeze response settle down.

When we are stressed we tend to fall out of relationship with our eating and it also greatly affects our hormones. This can often lead us to get the messages in our body to eat more. The practice below will help to keep the fight/flight/freeze response calm, which can be key to healthy eating.

3. Balance your hormones

Your hormones are a very very big factor in your weight, your overall body health, well everything actually! When I work with women who are approaching menopause, one of the very first symptoms they notice is weight gain. Suddenly, the old ways of managing your weight aren’t working. This quick video below shows you simple but powerful energy holds that help balance hormones.

4. Share your food with friends!

Research shows us that eating socially improves our health and well-being. It doesn’t have to be fancy or cordon bleu, just gather a friend or two and get the health benefits of eating together.

You’ll find more resources to balance your energy on my YouTube channel and website.

Thank you for being you and showing up with all of your gifts, and all of your challenges. You are perfect, unique, and totally essential to the immense web of life that we all live within.

With love,

But before I tell you more about all the reasons why having a strong, healthy aura is a great idea, perhaps I should define what an aura is first.

Also known as the biofield, the aura is one of the most dynamic of the energy systems and created by a vast connective webbing that weaves your wisdom and soul whisperings in great patterns and rhythms.

Here is an illustration of the aura that was created for me by Sandra Bernier, so you can get an idea of just how magnificent it is.

It acts as your first line of defence from EVERYTHING that is outside of your own energy field, making it key to you finding your boundaries, and accessing all of the wisdom from your soul and the Cosmos.

Your aura has three key functions:

• Protecting you

• Connecting you

• Carrying information through all of your other energy systems.

It is continually moving from your core, changing its flow and its shape – it may be swirling around clockwise or anti clockwise, it may be going up or going down, coming out or going in. It can be a real whirl storm or gentle, peaceful and filled with sunny radiance. Its colours come from the way in which the different energy systems are vibrating together.

Your aura may be charged up, or it may be depleted and compromised, but how do you know?

When your aura is vibrant and charged up, you will feel protected, connected, and able to navigate through your world easily because you know yourself to be safe.

Here are some of the attributes that having a strong aura can bring:

• Feeling grounded

• Being able to connect to others more easily

• Feeling protected

• Increased vitality and joyousness

• Better ability to absorb nutrients such as vitamin D

• Better boundaries

• Less tiredness, more energy

• Increased intuition

• Mental clarity

• Physical / muscular strength

• Being less stressed, and more relaxed

• Understanding the bigger picture

• Protection from environmental and electromagnetic pollutants such as computers, wifi and toxic chemicals in our air

On the other hand, when your aura is depleted or compromised, you won’t feel safe, supported or resilient. You may feel vulnerable or jangled to the point that everything feels edgy and uncertain. Your aura can also sometimes be very small, thin or flat if you desperately don’t want to be noticed, or even non-existent outside the human body when collapsed in order to protect all of your vital life.

So, who wouldn’t want to know how to bring health, vitality and resiliency to their aura!

Working with your aura is one of the key ways to help you feel more resilient and safe when you feel sensitive to everything around you.

If you feel you pick up on the energies that are all around you, that being in bright, busy, noisy places, or around other people who are emotional or angry, leaves you feeling under attack, wiped out or unsafe, then it is likely you have a highly sensitive or empathic energy system that is tuned into everything around you.

But that doesn’t mean that your sensitivity is a curse and you are always going to feel overwhelmed – energetically, you’re designed to feel safe, resilient and protected every minute of your day, in all situations, you just need to understand how to support your energy systems in slightly different ways.

What can you do to power up your aura and your resilience?

One of the most empowering aspects of understanding your energy it that YOU can affect deep and lasting change by working with simple practices and techniques. Here is a great practice called ‘The Container of You’ that I created to help keep your energy systems well-contained to help build resilience, prevent vulnerability, and avoid feeling negatively impacted by any energy you are surrounded by.

The longest day of the year is nearly here, from whence we begin the long and luxurious movement back into the depths of winter.

I know I know, that statement might make me highly unpopular! You might not want to think about the fact that in just a week or so the days get shorter and the nights get longer.

And yet the fact remains, June 21st brings the longest day with just over 16 hours and 38 minutes of daylight (contrast this with only seven hours and 49 minutes of daylight at the Winter Solstice).

The Summer Solstice brings the energy of bright sunlight, yang expression, and fiery celebration. This is the time for coming into your strengths and realising your desires.

It is the time for feeling the full yang influence of the sun, a beautiful bursting forth of male energy to be received by the female energy of the Earth in order to produce the fertility of crops, flowers, trees, animals; all of the abundance from the cosmos that we depend upon for our physical, emotional, spiritual and cognitional nourishment.

It is the time for opening yourself to your broadest presentation of who you are, in safety and expansion you can throw open your arms and move forward on your paths of truth and forthrightness.

Solstices also provide an anchor through the turning of the year; they are waymarkers to all of your sense-making abilities, including your energy system.

Your year is already marked by known waymarkers that act as navigation tools through your year. That may be your own and other birthdays in the year that mark its progress, as well as anniversaries (both joyous and grievous), shared festivals that are culturally important to you, such as Christmas, Ramadan, Beltane, Diwali, Thanksgiving or many, many others!

Share

Whatever events and dates you honour give your year meaning, and these repeated and noticed days interact with the wisdom of your energy fields in every way. They ground you in the movement of your life, just like the orbit of planets ground them in their eternal celestial dance.

Each time a honoured day comes up for you, you have a greater potential to momentarily step outside of ‘ordinary time’.

How many times have you thought back to your last birthday, or last Christmas or the last few anniversaries and remembered what you were doing? It is natural for us to peg out the year around these dates and for a moment pause in the movement of life.

The days that peg out the year invite you to pay attention to what is evolving and growing for you, and what is stagnant or needs to be released. As such, the ‘stepping out of time days’ provide the opportunity to do simple ceremonies to honour where you are and what your soul needs are presenting in your life.

Here are some suggestions for simple ways to celebrate the Summer Solstice and step outside time to nourish not only every part of yourself, but to add to the great celebration of all of life.

• Do like your ancestors did and share a fire with friends to celebrate life!

• Be awake and outside at sunrise and sunset (you’ll have to check the times in your area) and move through your day aware that you are connected to the life-giving energy of the sun.

• Check in with how you might need to nurture the fire in your own life. How is your passion and inner fire being kindled? Does it need more attention?

• Light a candle for all those who are feeling disconnected from the passion of life. Say a prayer for the balance of all of life.

• Dance! By yourself, with your beloved, with a group of strangers.

• Take a day pilgrimage and visit a site that is special to you or your ancestors.

• Prepare a special meal with all of the ingredients that make you think of warmth, sunlight and joy.

• If you are find the fiery-ness of the summer solstice is challenging, then the practice below that I filmed on the summer solstice a few years ago is great to really help your energy system ground down, slow down and absorb the relaxation and warmth of Solstice energy.

I wish you every blessing of the Summer Solstice, may the flame of your heart be warmed by it and shared with all of life.

With love,

I want to share my favourite routine for supporting and activating your whole system at the level of your body, your mind and your soul.

I love it!

I do this series of movements every day, sometimes first thing in the morning, sometimes I’ll do it in the middle of the morning or afternoon if I start to feel tired, and sometimes I’ll do it when I’m getting ready for sleep and want to have a great night’s rest.

This quick and powerful routine supports your deep resilience and tends to your capacity to flex and flow.

To meet the challenges and celebrate the joys.

To sit deeply with the strains and still be able to relax into ease. To expand out and enfold in again. To receive and give.

To be you.

Share

From an energetic point of view, this routine activates the radiance that is always present in your energetic core to shine through all that you are, so you can feel empowered, resilient, energised and joyful. It brings coherence to all of your energy systems, and deeply grounds and nourishes your whole-body system.

I encourage you to come back to this Radiant Health routine again and again and again, not just for its ability to enhance your physicality, your emotional balance, and your cognitional processing, but also for its potential for helping you to connect into those more profound, sacred parts of your being.

And if you want to know more about your energetic core, and all the energy systems that make up your magnificent energy anatomy, you can learn all about them on my website here.

I have been sharing articles about my Pilgrimage of Peace last December, and in this part of the story, I want to tell you about a profound initiation that I underwent while I was in a cave that my husband had discovered in Ussat.

As I approached the cave, the area was alive with the energy of ceremony, and most specifically, the energy of initiation. Layer after layer after layer of it. Generations, perhaps centuries.

With a vast opening and a small enclosure at the back of the cave, I had the vision of a lineage of humans being initiated in the depth of that space. Sitting in that womb-like energy, in deep communion with the ancient energies and guardians of that land, and perhaps of the cosmos itself. If you are standing on a beach or in a meadow making a sacred oath, perhaps as a wedding/handfasting or a sacred oath to yourself, you are being supported and witnessed by far more than human energies.

As we sat in that space in ceremony, I underwent a profound initiation myself.

From behind my body, an ancient energy seemed to come alive out of the stone of the cave wall, until my body was resting in hers. I could feel antlers growing from my head as I merged into her form, and from there she took me through the lands and stars sharing wisdom and reminding me, at that cellular and soulular level, of times and ways long gone from our modern world.

She shone with the silver energy that is emerging in these times, just as the Languedoc shines with the silver energy of these times and I felt rewoven with, through, and by this merging consciousness.

Even as I write this now, my body has begun to glow with that silver energy. The power of re-membering and being re-membered is always active in us.

Share

My cells were changed that day. They remembered something deeper, and it awoke in me in a different way than the more dormant place it had been living within.

You will be familiar with the theory of epigenetics, how we are not victims of our genes, but rather we actually get to inform which genes express by tending to the conditions of our inner and outer life. Well, it was as if being with that ancient energy, the Reindeer Mother, the ‘genes’ dormant in me were awoken and I am now being expressed slightly differently, connected through the ages in a different way. Ancient and modern, the weaving together of the silver vibration housed then in the wild wisdom of the great tribe animals and their time, and silver now coming in to remind us and renew those wisdoms of harmony.

So let’s land this in our time a little.

Imagine a time tunnel with you in your present time, right here, right now. Before you are the times to come, those of your life and those of our descendants. And behind you, in that time tunnel, is what occurred a few hours ago, and yesterday, and last year, and in childhood and before you were born. When I perceive back through my time tunnel, with my cultural lens, I can identify the world wars, and the invention of the light bulb, and Shakespeare writing his plays, and the life and legends of King Arthur, the Romans and Greeks with their grand temples, the Egyptians with their even grander temples. If we continue down that time tunnel we see the great tribes of the Iron Age, and before that the Bronze Age (we are currently thinking about a time 5000 years ago). Only 5000 years ago. Leap back twice that, three times that to the end of the Stone Age and the beginning of the Magdalenian period. Over 15,000 years ago.

In Europe, this era between 13-20,000 years ago is called the Reindeer Age. Although nowadays we think of reindeer in the very north of Europe, at that time, they roamed a vast area from Portugal to Poland, the UK and were as far south as the Pyrenees in the south of France. They were in constant and essential interrelationality with humans as they lived and migrated side by side.

This is a poem that Celtic scholar and author John Matthews sent out via his substack, a few days after I had had this encounter with the Reindeer Mother. It holds magical and beautiful understandings of her energy. https://substack.com/@graal

THE ANTLERED QUEEN

She comes with antlers raised

as though for combat,

but the truth is she has forgotten

the days of conflict -

now she greets us

with a glowing glance

and brings to her side

a stag more crystalline

then snow.

Together,

they usher in the moment

of light over dark,

the joy that all expect

but seldom find -

the moment when

her antlered shadow

falls across the Mound,

and in her voice is heard

the chime of crystal bells.

For she is the spirit

of the ancient time

when light and dark

lived in harmony;

when all who came before her

we’re greeted with equal love,

and all the years since then

no other has come who brings

the same most joyful moment

when the new year enters.

With antlers spread she greets us,

with her hands she blesses

our paths through the darkened forest

the world does not recall,

and brings in her wake,

the joyful lights that

lifts us in our bodies yet

higher than our dreams can know -

into the splendid moment

when all things become one.

What a magical world we are.

With love,

Prune

On my Pilgrimage of Peace in the Languedoc region last December, after a day witnessing and experiencing the powerful Mary Magdalene energy with which the Languedoc radiates, we arrived at a valley where an energy in the mountains caught my attention.

With little daylight time left (remember this is late December), my fabulous husband ran up the mountain to track it down, looking for a cave that we had heard was in the area. And what a cave it was. A vast mouth, quickly narrowing to a tiny space, big enough for someone to sit in.

When a physical place has known ceremony, it holds the vibration of that ceremony. Any and every place has its own energy, its own consciousness, its own spirits of place and guardianship. When humans work with ceremony, these spirits of place are an inherent part of the ceremony. It is one of the reasons that the ceremony is effective, for it is engaging and co-creating with energies of consciousness that are both inside and outside of time and space.

If you are standing on a beach or in a meadow making a sacred oath, perhaps as a wedding/handfasting or a sacred oath to yourself, you are being supported and witnessed by far more than human energies.

The spirits of place, the trees, the wind, the animals that cohabit that space, the waters of that area, the love of the cosmos itself; they will all be part of co-creating the energy, containment and potential of your ceremony. They hold or support, or they retreat and protect themselves and the place they are in relationship with.

As spirits of place, they have a few options when we show up as humans intent on working in a specific place. They can support and co-create, they can retreat, or they can protect and even obstruct.

If we are aware of the energies around us, are respectful, aligned and invite their participation, we co-create the balancing and regenerative energy together that empowers the ceremony from the mundane into the magical.

Share

You’ve experienced that.

A ceremony you attended that somehow contained far more than the words spoken or the human involved. Perhaps it was a wedding, a funeral, an end of life celebration, a baby naming, a divorce party, a birthday party…. when you sensed something more. An energy that was flowing, that was….well, just, more. A vibration that was through everyone and everything. Perhaps for you this is divinity, or unity consciousness, or flow state, or simply a form of Cosmic Love. And I’m sure you have also been to ceremonies where you have felt the absence of it. Where the words spoken and the actions taken did not seem to house that bigger energy.

The potential for the real engagement and co-creation of something more magical did not emerge in the way it could have. Something that could have been sacred, remained secular.

Something that could have been magical, remained mundane.

When we are able to align in respect, greeting and consciousness to the great web of life that we are an essential part of, we are able in any situation to move into the magical, to co-create with the cosmos that is so much more than human. We are able to swim in the energy of all that has been, all that is and all that will be, to bring something new into the world again and again. This creative impulse is the impulse of life. Every newness of a breath, a greeting, a thought, an emotion, a ceremony, an authentic smile reaffirms life.

This understanding of interconnectiveness is something that the ancient peoples of our world had always known. It is only recently that this worldview of us being a co-creative part of the cosmos, always in deep relationship with other beings, other energies, has become less mainstream and less conscious. Our myths, our stories, our collective memories speak to this again and again and again across every culture and every land.

Michael Meade’s podcast Living Myth is a wonderful and inspiring place to weave more of these understanding through your life. https://www.mosaicvoices.org/podcast

Or read the example of the Blackfoot Indigenous Peoples who, through their collective memory at a cellular and soulular level, know their profound inter-being with the land they have lived within for 18,000 years. Land creates us and we in turn create the land. Vibrationally, we sing each other into being. Our world births us, just as we birth our world. https://www.science.org/content/article/modern-blackfoot-people-descend-ancient-ice-age-lineage

I’ll share more about the profound initiation that I underwent in the cave that my husband discovered in my next article.

Early in 2025 I was called to Languedoc.

I can’t really explain it in any logical way, so you’ll have to be open with me to the awareness that places can call or stay quiet, they can invite or reject.

I became aware in my dream time and walking time, in my quiet time and deep times that the Languedoc was calling me.

I knew very little about the area. Novels such as The Languedoc Trilogy by Kate Moss and the All Souls Trilogy by Deborah Harkness had brought some awareness to me of ancient threads of power and magic, but on a conscious level I hadn’t thought of it at all until last year when the energy of the place started calling me.

This occurred simultaneously with an increased impetus to the changing consciousness vibration that we are currently experiencing and that I was already following and tracking.

The Languedoc, and this changing consciousness, felt deeply linked and, as ever, when awarenesses begin to thread their way from the collective consciousness to my individual consciousness, I listened and consciously engaged in the conversation.

Why is Languedoc calling me:

You need to go to feel it, absorb it and weave it forward. Be the healer and be healed.

When do I need to go:

The winter solstice.

Pretty clear instructions!

And so, in the middle of December I set out with my husband and two friends to pilgrimage via train from Cornwall to London, London to Paris, and Paris to Carcassonne.

This medieval walled city is at the foothill of the Pyrenees and we spent a week there, exploring and experiencing the local area with all of its rich energy. Languedoc is a remarkable place where historically there has been a rich fusion of ideas and peoples. It was in the creative energy of the Languedoc in the Middle Ages (10th-11th centuries) where Kabbalistic, Christian, and Islamic mystics came together to explore and support the foundations necessary for the next leap in consciousness and understanding.

It is a place of creative fusion. With an energy that is both roiling and peaceful, expansive and supportive. It invites inquiry. It invites contemplation. It was there that Mary Magdalene came after the death of her beloved, bringing the compassionate and loving teachings of Jesus to the area, and in the 12th century it was this creative fusion that brought forward the Cathars, a Christian sect who, with their male and female priests, rejected the established catholic doctrine for more personal and direct experiencing of the compassionate divine. The subsequent backlash of the Pope and King of France in the form of the Albigensian crusade, destroyed the Cathars and brought forward the Inquisition. It sought to crush the fabulous fusion energy of the Languedoc.

But. it is simply too strong, too ‘other than human’ to be crushed.

It sings with peace and potential, with balance and beauty.

Despite the Albigensian Crusade and the birth of the Inquisition, the area still holds the deep energy of revelation and transformation. This would have been felt and experienced by the Narbonnaise Romans who walked and lived in the Languedoc in the 1st century and the Volcae Celts who walked and lived there before them.

When I am in places that have been populated for great swathes of time, I often do a time walk where I’ll be walking in the energetic strata of different times.

When it first happened to me as a young adult, it totally tripped me up! Walking the dogs on a Bronze Age hill fort and suddenly being in the energetic strata of that time and those people, witnessing that life in all of its richness. Or walking down a London street and being in the 1800s at this corner, the 1400s with its noise and stinks in this alley, and watching the viking boats steal up through a 10th century mist as I arrived at the river.

Timewalking through different energetic layers is usual for me now and was very present in the Languedoc.

Imagine my surprise though when the thread most present to me was not the medieval city I was staying in, nor the strain of the Cathars, or the Celts (so familiar to me from my own homeland of Cornwall) but something much deeper, much older and much more powerful.

More to come,

With love,

June’s energy is just about here and it is a delight to let you know that it is a magnificent rich and resonant energy that we’ll all be experiencing this month.

If you are reading this before the end of June, you are currently in the in-between time of the pause, the reflection, the completion, integration and honouring.

So let me ask you:

How did you experience the energy of May? It was a mostly gentle and supportive vibration that nurtured your heart energy.

Did you experience that? How did it show up for you through the month?

As you sit in the ‘in-between’ or feel into last month, what do you notice about yourself and your energy, how do you feel, what draws your thinking attention?

I look forward to being live with you in my community, The Gathering Ground, on Thursday 28th May at 4pm UK time, to answer your questions about the energy this month, and to further share ways you can align for deepest nourishment, vitality and joy.

I do a regular Qigong practice comprised of a grand opening, 12 movements and a grand closing. Between each of the movements we stop, and close the movement consciously, connecting our hands in prayer position and returning to a central standing position. We take a moment there to experience the fullness of the movement, to support integration in our energy systems, to nourish deeply. And then, from that place of balance, we open into the next movement.

In our fast-paced, goal-oriented world, where most of our thoughts race along linear and time-bound thinking patterns, we can be unfamiliar with the huge power and potential of closing any movement in our daily lives.

Some easy examples of these ‘in-between times’ are those conscious and reflective moments before we close our eyes to sleep, when we can explore how we have moved through our day and how we feel about it. Or the few moments of breath and gratitude upon finishing a meal, enjoying the completion of that nourishing experience before we enter the next movement of our day. Or the deep honouring of the end of a relation or the completion of a project.

Share

This initiates a conscious shift from a linear relationship with your day and life (I get up and start doing, until I go to sleep where I stop doing, in order to repair enough to get up and start doing again tomorrow!) to a spiral relationship where you can perceive that each act of doing is part of a great emergence of your being. When you take time to reflect, to integrate, to consciously pause and sit in the ending of something, you are able to glean and gather the great richnesses of what has occurred, how you have engaged with whatever it is that you have just done, and how your relationship with that experience either has shaped you or is currently shaping you. It is a continual spiraling in and out from the deepest of your awarenesses to the most surface of your awarenesses, the deepest parts of your wild wisdom consciousness to the most surface parts of your daily thinking.

The spiralling path weaves your way forward in the world as you experience, learn, grow and emerge even more fully as yourself.

As someone who is interested in learning more about your energy, you are already skilled at exploring this ‘in-between’ way of being. You work with your energy to directly nurture and affect your physicality. You know that your energy anatomy is the foundation of physical health, emotional health and spiritual health, so you are already skilled at being in the in-between and are naturally connected to the concept of the spiraling path of your daily life. When you do your energy practices you work with your breath consciously, the in-breath and the out-breath, and the pause between; the great spiraling movement back into the other direction; the time of pause, of absorption and integration. Cycles and flows, beginnings and endings, endings and beginnings.

The energy this month, whose vibration is that of a deep, rich red colour, invites you to drop into even more relationship with the in-between space. The human energy system is the foundation of your health, in every way; your physical health, your emotional and mental health, and your spiritual health.

In a day, can you notice the many, many movements that create the flow of your day?

Perhaps your day is governed by a ‘to-do’ list, perhaps you have huge amounts of space. Either way, there will be a multiplicity of moments in your day when you are invited to notice the closing of something and the moment before the opening of the next.

Perhaps align with an intention simply to notice these moments this month, and see how that creates a different flow and balance to your day.

When you are able to actively notice these in-between times, you invite your nervous system to recalibrate in balance.

The intensity of continually doing, or even the perception of this need, can activate your sympathetic nervous system and your reactive fight, flight, freeze response, which of course draws you further and further away from the magnificence of your radiant soul energy and the way that flows through every part of your energy, body and life. Instead you hit the old and limiting patterns of belief that are locked into your habitual field, feeling tired, overwhelmed, anxious or frustrated by the sheer experience of life.

The energy this month supports your deep connection to the in-between, to noticing the pause between your breaths, and to allowing that connection to bring harmony and regulation to your nervous system.

I have created a short routine for nervous system regulation, to support your energetic alignment to this month’s energy. You’ll find it in the video below, try doing it regularly this month and see how you feel.

I’ll look forward to seeing you on Thursday May 28th at 4pm in my online community to answer your questions about the energy this month.

With great gratitude and big love to you, may your June fill you with delight.
