You Are Safe, You Are Safe, You Are Safe 💖

Those of you with me and reading this in realtime will know I’ve recently figured out a thing. I had NO IDEA until this week that a lot of the debilitating symptoms that have crept up on me in the last several years are due to my fluctuating and declining hormone levels. While I knew I was in peri-menopause, I had no clue that some of my issues were hormone related!

I’m sharing this because one some of my key issues have been: exhaustion (and I know that’s what I call a dramatic term and don’t use it lightly), rising stress levels and a feeling of not being able to cope. It’s felt to me as though I don’t have the strength (mental or physical) to deal with the challenges of life.

I erroneously imagined I was feeling this way because of the amount of stressful issues I face. I was wrong. I didn’t correlate these (and many other issues) with peri-menopause because I simply didn’t have the understanding!

Anyhow, all that to say it’s been a real challenge for me to stay in a great place mentally. And on the back of this the SO SOOTHING meditation from two months back was born- Best Of The Best. The theme and process this month are no different! One of the positives to come out of this shitty time is I really dug deep in an attempt to tether myself to an inner peace, a calm, my joy and strength.

It was ultimately insurmountable in all honesty because now I realise I was fighting a losing battle on account of the lack of hormones! I was doing all the right things- in spades- but it wasn’t enough!

Like I say, there is some good news on account of all this though and this months tapping video and meditation are one piece of it. As I navigated some feelings of anxiety and feeling unsafe I wanted to help myself and of course others! The tapping will do just that. Because I understand energy, and also mindset and how to shift beliefs and feelings, when I add in tapping it’s next level potent.

One of the things I’ve been doing to support myself in the last few weeks is energy healing and I’ve been focused on getting grounded because this helps with feelings of safety. If you didn’t feel fully loved, tended to and safe when you were very little this can lead to not being grounded now and issues with your root chakra. I address all of this in the process!

I don’t know about you but I can totally relate to this. I just didn’t feel tended to or safe when I was very young and I’ve been told a gazillion times I’m not very grounded. It makes perfect sense, I feel LOVED and AT HOME when I tap into the divine but these feelings weren’t matched in my physical life. So of course I would prefer to tune into the love.

I’m working on feeling safe in my body now, on this planet, in my life- as I say in the tapping process. Because your root chakra is your first, foundational chakra, getting things set here is KEY.

When I was teaching Alchemise a lot of people talked about wanting to feel safe and it’s been on my mind ever since. Best of The Best and You Are Safe are my medicine for this ailment.

A cool thing I’ve been doing along with this is grounding my energy often. All you need to do if you want to do this is imagine the energy of the earth coming up into your feet and flowing up your legs, into your root chakra and then back down into mother earth through a root/trunk/beam of light/stream of water. Feel yourself held, loved, earthed. You can also imagine any unwanted or foreign energy leaving you through your root (or whatever you imagine.) You can do this for yourself, loved ones, even a building. I do it for myself a lot and my children too. I love to imagine my roots spreading out far and wide beneath the earth and feeling really tethered to and held by the earth!

As you know, I’m all about doing what’s helpful and what works! If this feels good to you then GREAT! This is what it’s all about. Here’s to you feeling safe, and held, loved, protected and provided for!

By the way, while it’s really been a challenge to keep myself on an even keel this last while, I’m determined to focus on the wins. As you likely know I suffered from severe anxiety and depression when I was much younger. Thankfully though I really haven’t had this since my twenties. Dipping my toe back into the water of worry has sharpened my compassion and desire to help. I’ve faced some real challenges on the back of what I now believe is my hormones and it’s not at all lost on me that if I didn’t know what I know about mindset I could have ended up in a real mess.

Again, the beauty of me feeling so shit is what I’ve created from it and the sharpening of my desire to help others. As I often say, I hope you can feel the love -it’s certainly here for you!

Sending you so much love,
