Hey lovely Reader
There’s no new podcast this week or next, as I’m taking a little breathing space. But I wanted to write and share something that’s been very present for me, and has shown up in many of the conversations I’ve been having.
This time of year often carries the language of abundance.
Bloom, expansion, sunlight, life at its fullest.
But for many of us - myself included - that can feel like such a mismatch. Especially with all that’s happening in the world right now.
It can feel hard to be present with all the beauty, when there is also so much suffering.
So, I'd like to share an old episode, recorded in October last year. It might support you in some way if things ever feel overwhelming - I know the technique has helped me many times.
Finding Calm Amid Chaos: TONIC for emotional first aid (S15E5)
Meanwhile I’ve also been sitting with the deeper truth of what abundance actually means.
I ran an event earlier this week on shifting our mindsets from lack to abundance. (If you were there, thank you for everything you brought to it - what a wonderful group gathered.)
This Work is not about pretending everything’s ok or putting on rose-tinted-glasses. It's about finding ways to come into back into balance - acknowledging what's hard, and still seeing the goodness that's here too.
If it resonates with you, and you'd love to create more calm and balance in your life - together with a small group of supportive humans - this is the topic for our next 4-week group coaching course: Mindfully Moving From Lack to Abundance. I would love to see you there.
This work is subtle. And it can be profound. And it doesn't involve pushing ourselves to feel grateful or abundant or positive. It’s about tending to our inner worlds, with the same love (my heart believes) we all deeply desire to see reflected in our external world.
Sending gentleness and calm for whatever this week is holding for you. And as ever, thank you for being here.
May all beings be happy. May all beings be safe. May all beings be well. May all beings live with ease.
With love
PS: These small, group coaching courses are proving to be wonderful places; connected, deep and filled with light. We begin Thursday 10 July, 12-1.15pm (UK).
