Introduction to MetaConsciousness®
Nature hasn’t made a mistake! Your body isn’t ‘going wrong’, ‘failing’, or ‘attacking itself’! So, what is happening when we experience dis-ease? Are you someone who intuitively knows there’s a link between emotions and wellbeing, and you’d like to develop your knowledge about our bio-logical system, for your own understanding and/or to share with clients,… Read More »Introduction to MetaConsciousness®

Hot! Hot! HOT!
What’s the weather like where you are at the moment? Here in my new home it’s VERY hot! And having a fairly thick, mostly black coat just makes it seem even hotter!

Why I believe forgiveness often needs to start with forgiving ourselves
Forgiveness is such an important step for our wellbeing, but often we forget about truly and deeply forgiving ourselves.
A friend came back for a visit
Something lovely happened the other day! Someone who’d visited a while ago came back again, and stayed for a few hours. I’d really liked her when she came before so it was lovely to see her again and to spend more time in her energy. Initially I didn’t realise it was her so I barked… Read More »A friend came back for a visit
Settling and learning together
Over the last few days, things have generally felt a good bit calmer. There are still moments when I feel jumpy and anxious but there are fewer of these now, and the times in between are longer and more settled. Initially it felt like being in a foreign country where I didn’t understand the language,… Read More »Settling and learning together
Things were hanging in the balance!
Oh no! It happened again. That’s why I’ve been quiet for a few days again… I’d got a bit overexcited, playing with Tim, and we were standing in the hallway. I was also feeling a little on edge as the space is quite tight there. Suddenly Tim’s hand appeared at my head – and it… Read More »Things were hanging in the balance!

Simplicity
Did you know that next Friday, 12 July is National Simplicity Day? I’ve been a fan of simplicity for a long time, believing that we as humans – and certainly myself as an individual – can have a great tendency to overcomplicate things. I think this is at least in part due to our brain’s negative… Read More »Simplicity
Diversity
Last week I wrote about the importance of Keeping It Simple & Straightforward so, on the surface, the title for this week’s post might seem a bit of a contradiction. And maybe this is one of those fabulous paradoxes that I love! But as well as valuing simplicity, I also feel that diversity is essential and should… Read More »Diversity
What Is This Thing Called ‘Rewilding’
…AND WHAT, IF ANYTHING, DOES IT HAVE TO DO WITH ME? According to Rewilding Britain: Rewilding is the large-scale restoration of ecosystems where nature can take care of itself. It seeks to reinstate natural processes and, where appropriate, missing species – allowing them to shape the landscape and the habitats within. https://www.rewildingbritain.org.uk/rewilding To me, though, rewilding… Read More »What Is This Thing Called ‘Rewilding’

LEARNING TO ‘BEND’ SO THAT I DON’T BREAK!
I’ve started to write this blog in my head so many times but not yet had the opportunity to ‘put pen to paper’ – or as I do more often these days, put fingertips to keys! Each inner draft has seen the content shift and change, reflecting my sense that everything around me is shifting… Read More »LEARNING TO ‘BEND’ SO THAT I DON’T BREAK!
LEARNING TO DANCE IN THE RAIN
I initially wrote this blog early last week, but then something happened on Thursday which prompted me to write this short edit. A friend that I deeply respect, told me that she felt I wasn’t being honest with myself about my responsibility in the situation I find myself with Dax, and that I was placing… Read More »LEARNING TO DANCE IN THE RAIN
How can nature benefit my mental health?
Nature offers so many benefits for our health and wellbeing. Here I explore some ways to take advantage of this.
Is mental health nature or nurture?
I believe that both of these factors play a large role in our wellbeing. In terms of nature, there is our own inner nature and also the Nature all around us. When we spend time in Nature it has been proven that this supports our wellbeing. The sights and sounds of the natural world can… Read More »Is mental health nature or nurture?
A little of my story
Personal, true and close to home. Allow me to open up with you, and share some of my story.
A little of my story (3)
As I was saying yesterday, I began searching for a magic wand that would make everything better, but eventually I came to the realisation that really I am the only one who can turn things around for myself and create the life I want to live. That changing my perceptions profoundly changes how I experience… Read More »A little of my story (3)
A little of my story (2)
Fast forward several years… I got through the ME and got a wonderful job with a fabulous boss and mentor, which really helped me get back on my feet. However, the job was a fixed term contract and I had no qualifications, so I started applying to some University courses. I was accepted at Bristol,… Read More »A little of my story (2)
A little of my story (1)
This was originally going to be a ‘live’ on my Facebook group, and then a video, but it quickly became a much longer piece and so I thought I’d write it instead because I know I have a tendency to go off on a tangent and at least this way I can more easily edit… Read More »A little of my story (1)
Why the pandemic of fear is at least as worrying as Coronavirus itself.
As you know, we live in challenging times. The recent coronavirus pandemic was on a scale unseen in living memory. With this in mind, I exploring how the fear this generated has impacted our wellbeing.
Why the pandemic of fear is at least as worrying as Coronavirus itself (4)
Having looked at the impact that fear can have on our wellbeing, I’d like to encourage you to do all you can to address any feelings of anxiety, overwhelm, or panic around Coronavirus and its potential impact on your health, finances, businesses, travel, etc or on that of those close to you. There are many… Read More »Why the pandemic of fear is at least as worrying as Coronavirus itself (4)
Why the pandemic of fear is at least as worrying as Coronavirus itself (3)
The META Conscious™ perspective on the symptoms of Covid-19 would be to consider the following: Our bodies seek to be in harmony with the environment around them. They actually function in synergy with bacteria, viruses and fungi, using them to support this wellbeing process. (If you’d like to know more about this, check out the… Read More »Why the pandemic of fear is at least as worrying as Coronavirus itself (3)
Why the pandemic of fear is at least as worrying as Coronavirus itself (2)
The impact of coronavirus is therefore much more than just the possibility of catching it, and we need to remember that in most cases the symptoms are not life threatening. In fact, fear is much more contagious, as has been shown by the widespread media coverage and the empty supermarket shelves. I believe that the… Read More »Why the pandemic of fear is at least as worrying as Coronavirus itself (2)
Why the pandemic of fear is at least as worrying as Coronavirus itself

Whatever You’re Feeling Right Now, it’s OK
Don’t worry if you seem to be swinging from one emotion to the next at the moment. There are so many unanswered questions and so much uncertainty right now that feeling like this is perfectly normal.
Whatever You’re Feeling Right Now, it’s OK (part 5)
So, my message is that whatever you’re feeling, it’s ok. The situation we find ourselves in at the moment is far from normal and so if you feel that you’ve lost your sense of balance, that’s perfectly natural. But there are things you can do to support yourself, you don’t have to do it alone,… Read More »Whatever You’re Feeling Right Now, it’s OK (part 5)

Whatever You’re Feeling Right Now, it’s OK (part 3)
These feelings can become overwhelming and between this and the current ‘lockdown’ restrictions, we can feel, metaphorically, like we’re ‘drowning’ or ‘struggling to breathe’. If this resonates for you, I invite you to try some breathing exercises, or to use this tapping technique to help yourself feel more comfortable. If you find yourself feeling lost,… Read More »Whatever You’re Feeling Right Now, it’s OK (part 3)

Having taken some time out (see part 1) I now feel more grounded and centred again.

I wanted to share some further thoughts, and my learnings, from this current situation, in the hope that it might offer encouragement and some useful ideas and tips.

Making the most of this time of Pause
Written during the coronavirus pandemic and lockdown, I explored the impact of suddenly having so much time on our hands, with no period of adjustment. It was almost like that sensation of jumping off a spinning roundabout!
Making the most of this time of pause (part 5)
A wonderful friend of mine, Jules Chabeaux, recently shared a newsletter in which she talked about the Lock Down being an opportunity for us to Key Up. This got me thinking about ‘Ki’ – as in Rei-Ki, or Life Force Energy. I believe that this time is challenging us to step into our authentic ‘Ki’… Read More »Making the most of this time of pause (part 5)

Infinite Potential If we bring together all that we can learn from Nature and the animals, I believe that we have infinite potential to create a new way of being that better serves us, both as individuals, and as a collective.

Animals For those of us who are now home based, and sharing our homes with animals, this Pause (or should that be ‘Paws’ in this case! 😊) is the perfect opportunity to have more quality time with them. Many will appreciate some extra cuddles, grooming or play. Engaging with them in this way releases oxytocin… Read More »Making the most of this time of Pause (part 3)
Making the most of this time of Pause (part 2)
Nature For me, one way we can do this is by getting back to Nature. We can approach this in a variety of ways: By sitting in Nature and noticing all the different sights, scents, sounds and sensations By observing the feelings we experience when we do this By contemplating the Life Force shared by… Read More »Making the most of this time of Pause (part 2)
Making the most of this time of Pause (part 1)
One of the things that I love best about my work is when I can bring all the various aspects together: people, nature and animals.

How best to support our own wellbeing, both now, and going forward
One of the things that I’m finding most concerning at this time is that we seem to be so focused on fear and the things not to do, rather than things we can do to take care of ourselves and our wellbeing.
How best to support our own wellbeing, both now, and going forward (5)
So, my vision: I would love this to be a time that we can look back on and recognise as a major turning point in our lives. A time when we: went within and rediscovered ourselves and our values learnt how to ‘lean into’ these and to follow the deepest guidance of our hearts learnt… Read More »How best to support our own wellbeing, both now, and going forward (5)

Connecting with others One of the biggest challenges of our current ‘lockdown’ situation is that it is lessening our ability to engage in face-to-face interaction with others. Humans are social beings and we need to feel a sense of connection in order to experience full wellbeing. In the initial shock and fear of coronavirus the… Read More »How best to support our own wellbeing, both now, and going forward (4)

If you’ve been following my blog, you might have seen an earlier post of mine where I explained that our inner state of balance is not a static thing.

Saying goodbye – Kali Kat
Kali loved to spend time outdoors, either exploring or sitting in the sunshine and enjoying its warmth. During the winter she didn’t go out as much, as she hated the cold, and instead enjoyed the odd game of chase to keep up her hunting skills. She loved to be up at a height where she… Read More »Saying goodbye – Kali Kat
Saying goodbye – the last weeks
I chatted with Kali about how I was feeling, asking her forgiveness for the times when I was sad and worried about losing her. Doing this helped me to realise that feeling upset was only serving to rob me of the gift of this time together and so, for the most part, I was able… Read More »Saying goodbye – the last weeks
Saying goodbye – precious times
Over the last couple of months, I had noticed that Kali seemed to suddenly appear much older. Last summer she’d had a burst of new energy and had regularly gone out hunting on the land around our house. She was much too successful for my liking, but it was heartening to see that she was… Read More »Saying goodbye – precious times
Saying goodbye – returning home

Saying goodbye – adjusting to being without her
Everywhere I turn there are memories of her, and I keep finding more bits of ‘kitty paraphernalia’ – who knew one small cat could have so many things?! They include: her taurine supplement, blankets, assorted toys that keep turning up in random places around the house, food and treats, cat flap and step, and the… Read More »Saying goodbye – adjusting to being without her
Saying goodbye – what I’ve learnt
So, the messages I’d like to share from this experience are: This time of lockdown has given us a whole new appreciation of connection.
