Morning Musings.

Morning Musings

Mornings are my best time. I use this time to reflect on the day before & then I journal my day ahead. I also love the peace & quiet the morning brings. It wasn’t always like this however. I grew up in a very chaotic home where dad wouldn’t hesitate to take his belt off & hit any one of his 3 children.

The fear created an unstable, unsafe & unpredictable space to flourish. We did however, have a beautiful mum, nan, grandad & uncle Chris.

It was Uncle Chris who bought us a caravan in North wales, this would become our sanctuary & off we went every school holiday to be carefree, happy & free from any fear.

Even as far back as then I would learn to enjoy the peace & tranquility that the mornings brought.

This beautiful sunrise was taken from my balcony where I worked in Gozo, Malta. A stunning health retreat called Amchara .

I made a decision along time ago that I would get to choose my life & so I choose to live the best life I can.

My morning today is to swim in the Med, drink a cup of hot water with a slice of lemon in & breakfast will look a bit like this.. yoghurt & fruit..

What’s your morning looking like?

What ever you are doing, know that you can change the direction of your life just by making small changes.

Turn the impossible into I’m possible & go with that one.

Creating a Sacred Space Using Essential Oils

Creating a Sacred Space Using Essential Oils

Creating a sacred space in our home is essential. The Danish call this Hygge, (Pronounced Hu Gah)They believe it is essential to have a sacred space in your home where you can go to feel safe, grounded & peaceful.

Life can bowl us over with all sorts of stresses, our mind takes all of this on board & we can quickly feel overwhelm. We owe it to our selves to recognise when we need some down time & then to take action in order to replenish our mind, body & soul.

So how can we do this? Well first of all find a space in your home where you would like to disappear to, this can be difficult if you live in a small flat/house, but there is always a tiny corner which you can claim as your own.

When my children still lived at home, it was more difficult as kids/ teenagers seem to have a knack of taking over just about everywhere. And so I got my self a meditation cushion, some tingsha bells & some essential oils.

With love & gratitude,

I would often take a book & a cushion too, this was my chill out place, I would just lay back, put my feet up on the wall & read. Very often I would use this space to meditate.

But you may have a spare room where you can make really beautiful & just walk into when ever you feel you need time out. In a world full of complete overwhelm at the minute with all what is going on it's essential to recalibrate on a regular basis.

So what oils would I recommend for your sacred space?

I would definitely use a base note;

So perhaps;

• Ylang Ylang

• Sandalwood

• Frankincense

• Patchouli

And I would mix these with a floral middle note of say;

• Geranium

• Lavender

• Melissa

I would add up to 10 drops max of your choice of oils on top of a ceramic burner, add water to the oils, light a tealight candle & pop it underneath & just wait for the essentials to waft around the room.

All essential oils are;

• Antiviral

• Anti bacterial & so they are excellent for keeping your space free of toxins & building your immune system up.

Tell me, what do you do when you feel overwhelmed? Do you have a quiet space where you go to so you can catch your breath & clear the clutter out of your mind?

If we don't do this, then we are more at risk of getting burn out,if this happens then we become more at risk of seriously compromising our health.

This is one of the main reasons why people become ill, because they play down the levels of stress they're under until the body tells them otherwise.

Meditation, helps clear your mind so you can find tranquility,peace, calm & balance in your life again.

What are you doing to come out of your comfort zone?

What are you doing to come out of your comfort zone?

I'm pleased my friend talked me into going to this beach party, I was really hesitant to go. I had spent far too much time on my own during the lock down, I also fell down the stairs, right from the top to the bottom & broke 3 of my fingers...

And so I couldn't even get back & do the work I loved so much because in effect I had broken the 'Tools of the trade'

And so I reluctantly took my self off to the party & I am so pleased I did. There was fabulous music,  delicious food, lots of drink, birthday cake, gifts, amazing company & over all a beautiful  atmosphere.

I even got some new client's too!

It is too easy to sit at home & get stuck in a rut, but we have to remember that life begins outside of our comfort zone..

My overall purpose of this year is to get out of my own way & step out of my comfort zone. I'm walking my talk & stepping up.

I have over 35 years experience in the field of Holistic Health & I have never been more eager to share my knowledge with you.

If Covid has taught me one thing, then it has been that time is far too precious to waste, so let's not play small any more, let's own our achievements & shout it from the roof tops, let's all share our knowledge & really begin to empower each other.

Catch ya Later, beauties,

Rose xx
