Soft. Simple. Still.

A conscious way of entering the year

Softness comes
when we pause long enough to feel the tenderness of another creature beside us -

another creature
whose energy is softer than ours.

My dearest one,

It is Sunday, and while I don’t usually enter your inbox on a Sunday, I thought today I might.

Sunday seems to be the SOFT day of the week.
The day of the week where sleeping-in is greeted with pleasurable sighs,
where longer breakfasts are enjoyed over numerous cups of tea, delightful heart felt chats and copious amounts of reading out loud,
and where potting around the house or in the garden or at the Grandparents place is so comforting and nurturing and, well, so

SOFT
SIMPLE
and STILL.

As you know that is the name I have given my Substack publications - Soft.Simple.Still. They are the words you see each week in your inbox when a letter from me comes through.

SOFT.
SIMPLE.
STILL.

I really believe it is possible to live a life like that

SOFT - in our voice, in our energy, in our footprints, in our touch, in our mind

SIMPLE - in our lifestyle, in our choices, in our words, in our manner

STILL - in our interaction with nature, in our mind, in our actions

I wonder, if you paused for a moment and reflected, what experience/s have you had in the past week that has either been SOFT, SIMPLE and/or STILL? Please do share your experiences with me in the comment section below. I would be honoured to share your experience with you.

I am a conscious slow living person.

I am a conscious mindful parent.

I am conscious in what I say and think and how I choose to be in the world.

Yes, sometimes this is much easier to do and be than other times.

However it is this conscious way of being in the world that is really important to me.

It makes me who I am
I invites me to feel the way I feel
and interact in the world in a way that ripples something very precious and magical back.

This year, I am choosing to step up in this way of living.

I wish to make my life simpler, softer and more still,
while at the same time feeling empowered, alive and filled with more magic.

You see, when I listen deeply to what my heart is telling me,
what my guides are sharing with me,
what nature is speaking to me about,
my life becomes so rich and alive
in a SOFT. SIMPLE. STILL way.

There is no complication
There is no second guessing
There is no need to feel lesser or smaller, stressed or anxious or anything like that

When my heart is talking to me,
it is from that deep still space within
where what I hear and see is from me and yet beyond me

When I listen deeply to my heart, everything around me becomes very still,

The walls begin to expand
or become invisible,
The colours become brighter
or lighter,
The sounds become clearer
or more distant,
And yet in the opposites there is such an exquisite balance that occurs
As my soul and heart opens up further
and further
and further
and I feel as though I am neither here nor there…

Rather I am in that liminal space where I have expanded and begun to vibrate,
where I am tingling and still all at once

And I am both grounded and floating
drifting and present
Here and not

For what I am doing is listening to the pure essence of who I am,
And in that I feel as though I am a part of EVERYTHING

EVERY LIVING THING
THAT IS ALIVE AND BEAUTIFUL
AND FREE

ALL AT ONCE.

Have you ever had an experience like that when you connect to the depth of the wisdom and essence of your heart and soul?
What was it like for you?

What was it like to connect to the stillness of the words, the feeling, the resonance and or the vibrations that came from the depth of your heart/soul?

What does it feel like for you to sit quietly in that space in your heart where soft Sunday mornings seem to go on forever, and magic seems to be made with every breath you take?

My dear friend,

I sent an invitation to you this week? Did you receive it?
I would be honoured if you would like to join me in my first workshop for 2024.

It is about LISTENING TO YOUR HEART?
It is about creating a soft simple still way of being in the world

It is about empowering the wisdom that lives deep within your heart and learning how to use that wisdom to become more empowered, healthy and consciously aware.

I invite you to join me for

MAGIC MOMENTS 2024

As we ask ourselves each day for 21 Days

Beginning Tuesday
16 January 2024

Each day for 21 consecutive days I will ask you What does your heart need most in 2024? and I will guide you through a healing meditation as you listen, feel and embody your hearts needs.

It will be a very sacred circle

and I would love you to join me

When was the last time you deeply listened to your heart?

When was the last time you truly heard its whispers
its song
its melody?

When was the last time you saw the colours of dawn rise up in your heart and felt a new day come alive,
and in that new day,
a new way of living rise up and up and up in you?

Our heart wishes our lives to be SIMPLE and SOFT and STILL

Our heart wishes our lives to be uncomplicated and conscious and magical

Our heart wishes our lives to be sacred and wholesome and safe.

Come along and join me my friend,

and share MAGIC MOMENTS with me

and let us gently and softly,

with greater awareness

greater consciousness

and a greater sense stillness

step into 2024

Happy Sunday my dear friend!

Until we share again
Blessed be,
