Well what a circle today in @resolutewellnessirl , I am still absolutely buzzing from it. The energy from each of the ladies was incredible, I feel I'll be on a high for a while after today. Thank you thank you thank you to the beautiful women for showing up for themselves today and trusting me to hold space. They all gave so much of themselves, with such open hearts, there really was the most gorgeous energy in the room and I hope they can all bring it with them into their week. The difference in the ladies from the start of the circle to the end was amazing, they felt lighter, energised and with a new sense of purpose. I'm forever grateful this is the work I get to do. I have the biggest smile on my face after today. 🙏🏼💫💞 #selflovehealingcircle #soulpurpose #findyourikigai #reasonforbeing #minireikihealing #journalling #affirmations #cardpulling #incrediblestories #commonthreads #compassionforeachother #holdingspace #settingintentions #coachingtools #reikimaster #lifecoach #womensupportingwomen #magichappenswhenwomengather #grateful #inawe #strengthinyourvulnerability

When we think of substance abuse we tend to put that in a box surrounded by emotions that can be hard to cope with, especially if hits close to home. There are resources for addicts and help to those willing to go through the motions but what do we do when it just doesn’t work for our loved ones? •We hold on to that pain that turns into grief. “How can we grieve someone who is still alive?” We grieve the person , the false hope and the what could have been. Substance abuse can have many consequences that take away the parenting aspect and leaves us to raise ourselves. Through that, We hold on to that cycle of raw and heavy emotion that unintentionally gets passed down. The anger, the shame, the sadness. “How can we stop the cycle?How can we put an end to carrying the weight of our loved one’s generational curse of substance abuse?” It starts with YOU. It starts with accepting , it starts with shadow work and it starts with acknowledging the emotions for what they are… GRIEF. It starts with learning and being open to cope, letting go of the what could have been and meeting them where they are at. We can choose to hold space for them or to be estranged. We can take back the power and choose to accept how we heal. I recommend reaching out to local grief centers in your area, attend an NA or AA meeting, have patience with yourself and to journal your experience. #grief #substanceabuse #lossofaparent #narcotics #alcohol #meth #pills #heroin #poverty #abandoned #adoption #grieving #grievingprocess #shadoweork #traumarecovery #traumahealing #suicide #narcotics_anonymous #alcoholicsanonymous #holdingspace #deathpreparedness #healingjourney #recovery

What can you say when your child is crying? “Are you ok?” “Would you like a hug?” “I know” (while offering physical comfort) “I know you are feeling so sad/mad/frustrated/embarrassed right now.” “I hear you.” “I am here.” “Crying feels yucky sometimes, doesn’t it.” “Sometimes, after a good cry, we feel better.” Things we should try not to say when our child is crying “Stop crying.” “Oh no, please don’t cry.” “It makes mommy sad when you cry.” “Pretty girls/tough boys don’t cry.” “Smile!” “You’re ok.” “Turn that frown upside down.” “Ok, that’s enough, dry your tears.” J. Milburn @responsive_parenting Edited to add: Wow!! This post was needed ❤️ a lot of question about what to do when your child’s emotions are a big trigger for your own emotions. A dysregulated parent is going to struggle to support a dysregulated child. We often use the phrases on the 2nd page because we feel uncomfortable and dysregulated ourselves by our children’s big emotions. We fear not being able to stay calm and hold space so we try to make them go away. This is why a dysregulated parent cannot hold space for their child. So if you are struggling with this, you’ll need to focus on yourself first. How can you hold space for yourself? Start there.

Reality vs Reality. One of the most powerful lessons I learned from @carrie.wren and some other wonderful people is the power of the word AND. I can want to be deeply known AND want to hide. I can grieve the loss of something AND be at peace. I can be content AND want more for my life. I can be in an autoimmune flair AND genuinely smile. I can be scared about what my new living situation will be like AND be excited. I can be frustrated about my physical pain AND enjoy life, nature and the people around me. I cry, I laugh, I take deep breaths, I get mad, I get sad, I get frustrated just like every one else. I’ve just learned to hold space for multiple things and let them flow through me vs take over me. That’s the difference. That’s the secret ingredient. #thepowerofand #and #holdingspace #emotions #reality #socialmedia #hottubs #grief #tobeknown #secrettolife #secretingredient #gototherapy #youarenotalone

I spent an hour with a lovely stranger taking turns to hold space for each other this morning. Hooray, it wasn’t actually scary in the end… it was lovely. It was part of peer practice for a marvellous course on holding space that I’m doing at the moment. I’m learning to lean into the powerful practices of… ❤️ Slowing it all down ❤️ Letting there be silence ❤️Sharing from the heart ❤️ Letting go of the outcome (All very helpful practices for living!) #holdingspace #getuncomfortable

Are you looking for a more passive stretch after a long week?!? Let me hold space for you in our restorative yoga class, tonight at 6pm. Restorative offers a stillness within the pose as you’re supported with bolsters and blocks to activate a stretch. Poses are held for 10-20 minutes while you’re comfortably resting. Restorative has the same benefits as a more active posture yoga, but it allows the body and mind to connect in a more meditative state. Restorative has helped with sleep, circulation, aiding in anxiety and depression, alieving stress, and pain management. Hope to see you tonight! #restorativeyoga #selflove #selfcare #smallbusinessowner #yogainspiration #yoga #yogapractice #yogafam #relaxing #holdingspace #coriwise #holistichealing #holistichippie #clinicalyogatherapist #somatictherapist

“What about when they get out into the real world and not everyone empathizes with them.” Treating your child with respect and kindness creates a sense of security and self-worth that protects them in the outside world. When they are not treated with respect and kindness, they know it is not because they aren’t worthy of it. They have an inherent belief in their own worth and being disrespected by someone doesn’t make them question their worth. Learn more about the practice of Responsive Parenting in my latest book...

It's OK to not be OK. If you don't know how to comfort someone grieving, someone hurting, someone going through something... just tell them you love them and you're there for them. Hold space for them. Allow them to not be ok. Calling someone strong can he a compliment when you're talking about weight lifting, but emotional strength can almost feel invalidating when the person is currently hurting. You've probably seem those reels where they talk about a mom asking for help and the response is "you've got this mama" ... although it can seem encouraging ... try just being there for that moment "that's a lot. I'm here for you and love you" and just be there. Silence is OK. Holding space can be the most validating experience. What do you think? Do you like being called strong when you're in survival mode? Let's discuss! . . . . . . . #grief #grieving #therapy #mentalhealth #holdingspace #therapistsofinstagram #emotionalstrength #griefjourney #miscarriage #infantloss #survivingnotthriving #postpartum #traumarecovery #trauma #traumainformedcare #validation #support

Do you hold space for your children when they are having big feelings? Do you let them be seen and heard despite their big emotions? It’s been a day here!! A day of kids with big emotions and it just seems to have kept in that heighten state where I’ve had to hold each child multiple times and wipe away their tears and let them know how they feel is valid and that they matter and that I am there for them completely. #parenting #parents #bigfeelings #kids #children #holdingspace #safeplace #bigemotions #love #kindness #compassion #empathy #tiredparent #patience #parentingtips #parentinglife

Part of me is very cute and sweet. I have felt in the past, that that often is the box I am put in, when people haven't got to know me better yet. I have learnt to step up for myself, because I have been underestimated often. I probably still am. People, who have met me beyond a first glance, know my Scorpio and my Sagittarius. I can be emotional. Explosive. Very serious. Adamant. I have strong opinions. My heart is so soft and I want to protect it, sometimes in ways that are not beneficial. I can have a sharp tongue and a strong voice. Once I love, I really love deeply. I am loyal and supportive and cheer my loved ones on. Sometimes the balance of water and fire is a rollercoaster. I don't pretend. I love the energy I carry. I know that I turn people off and away. And I know I attract many others. There was a time in my life in which I tried to be more like the people I loved and looked up to. Most of the time I don't anymore. What has felt safe before does not feel safe anymore. It really doesn't feel safe to try to be someone else. And yet I know how safe it can feel when the connection to ourselves has become blurry. Authenticity carries a certain radiance, a very specific scent and taste. I still feel so insecure and self-conscious about many parts of me. And yet I catch myself more and more often feeling love for myself. Tasting that very specific taste, smelling that very specific scent. It is a still tiny and shy feeling. And I know I carry it. We all do. . . . . . . . . #authenticity #beingauthentic #spaceholder #holdingspace #selflove #selflovejourney #innerhealing #healing #love #femininepractice #thefeminine #thefeminineurge #womenswisdom #wombritual #wombwisdom #motherhood #maidentomother #pregnancy #menstrualcycle #menstrualcycleawareness #menstrualhealth #menstruation #doulaberlin #doulaservices #beingadoula #sacredbirth #sacredbirthworker #birthasariteofpassage #doulainberlin #mamatoto

Poorly girl these last few days so needing to withdraw and cocoon this weekend ~ to be “rested and ready” 🧡 What if we’re not just tired? What if it’s our souls that are exhausted? The kind of tired that sleep won’t remedy. You see, when the world is in crisis (and it is), your soul becomes weary with the weight of collective grief. With the magnitude of problems, which need to be addressed. There is so much wrong with the world right now, that we feel we cannot do very much about. And that is truly exhausting. Where do we even begin? We begin by realising that everything has to implode, before change can occur. We begin by breathing precious air into our lungs. We begin by wrapping our love around anyone we can. Yourself too. Mostly, we begin by remembering that the darkest point of night, occurs right before dawn. You’re experiencing a grief for everything you cannot change. A hopelessness that sucks the energy out of your every cell. If you are feeling exhausted my friend, Let your soul rest too. Your call to action will come soon enough. Be rested and ready. ©️Donna Ashworth

I pray for inner strength

not as a means to oppose my vulnerability.

I pray for a strength wise and mature so it can hold and honor my softest, most tender parts

Das Märchen von der traurigen Traurigkeit • • • Es war eine kleine Frau, die den staubigen Feldweg entlang kam. Sie war wohl schon recht alt, doch ihr Gang war leicht, und ihr Lächeln hatte den frischen Glanz eines unbekümmerten Mädchens. Bei einer zusammengekauerten Gestalt blieb sie stehen und sah hinunter. Sie konnte nicht viel erkennen. Das Wesen, das da im Staub auf dem Wege saß, schien fast körperlos. Sie erinnerte an eine graue Flanelldecke mit menschlichen Konturen. Die kleine Frau bückte sich ein wenig und fragte: „Wer bist du?“ Zwei fast leblose Augen blickten müde auf. „Ich? Ich bin die Traurigkeit“, flüsterte die Stimme stockend und leise, dass sie kaum zu hören war. „Ach, die Traurigkeit!“ rief die kleine Frau erfreut aus, als würde sie eine alte Bekannte grüßen. „Du kennst mich?“ fragte die Traurigkeit misstrauisch. „Natürlich kenne ich dich! Immer wieder hast du mich ein Stück des Weges begleitet.“ „Ja, aber…“, argwöhnte die Traurigkeit, „warum flüchtest du dann nicht vor mir? Hast du denn keine Angst?“ „Warum sollte ich vor dir davonlaufen, meine Liebe? Du weißt doch selbst nur zu gut, daß du jeden Flüchtling einholst. Aber, was ich dich fragen will: Warum siehst du so mutlos aus?“ „Ich… bin traurig“, antwortete die graue Gestalt mit brüchiger Stimme. Die kleine alte Frau setzte sich zu ihr. „Traurig bist du also“, sagte sie und nickte verständnisvoll mit dem Kopf. „Erzähl mir doch, was dich so bedrückt.“ Die Traurigkeit seufzte tief. Sollte ihr diesmal wirklich jemand zuhören wollen? Wie oft hatte sie sich das schon gewünscht. • {weiter in Kommentaren} • • • #thoughtoftheday #life #allconnected #spirit #spirituality #thetahealing #grief #mentoring #holdingspace #deeplistening #eternal #forever #soul #higherself #divine #inspiration #motivation #beauty #gratitude #health #universe

I often talk about how women's circles give us a safe space to tell our stories. And I think it's really important that we know how powerful our own experience can be when it is shared. Every single circle I have sat in, whether holding space or being held, has shown me that stories are how we grow, they're how we find compassion and humanity, they enrich our world with layers of meaning and understanding, they really are an exchange - an offering from one woman to another, without apology or fear of judgement, simply the gift of sharing your life with others, and allowing the rich tapestry of human experience to weave and knit itself together in a multitude of colours and shapes. Sharing stories has expanded my world, and my understanding of myself, in so many ways. When we listen to the stories of other women, really listen, without needing to reply or offer comment or advice or have an answer, we give that story space to find its way to wherever it needs to be. And it always finds its way. It is so often the stories from the women whose experiences are so different from my own that seem to strike a chord or offer up a question I didn't even know I needed to ask. Stories are how we learn, how we pass down our history, how we share our wisdom and experience, and also our pain and fear and sadness. They are how we celebrate the good things and make space for the hard things. They are how we show our love, they are how we offer a bit of the unique magic of ourselves to the women we sit with. Stories are something no-one can take away from us, they are fluid and beautifully mercurial, they are rooted in our sense of self, and yet also in all our questions and confusion. They change with the telling, but often that is exactly the point. We have to keep telling our stories. They are the bridge between us, the thread that binds us, the legacy we leave. #sisterstories #tellingstories #womensstories #herstory #womenscirclesuk #womenscircle #womenscircles #womenscircleuk #womenscirclefacilitator #holdingspace #holdingspaceforyoutoheal #womensstoriesmatter

Latest blog - "Hugs & Cups of Tea" This topic has been on my mind the last year or 2 and I've seen a bit around lately where people are feeling cranky about receiving unsolicited advice when all they want is a safe space and someone to listen. I've had to learn not to always try to fix and give advice. I've had to learn to ask what people need and want from me. I've had to learn to be honest when I don't have the capacity myself to listen, support, or hold space for others.

“Sometimes a parent’s misguided attempts to gain their child’s “respect” results in a loss of trust. When our child is scared of disrespecting us, they become fearful of us, overall. A child who fears their parent’s response to their big emotions, will share those emotions, less and less, as time goes on.” J.

Blooming with Grief Performer Spotlight: JM Wong ! JM Wong (they/them) is a queer child of the Chinese diaspora living on Duwamish lands (Seattle) via Malaysia/Singapore and many cities in between. They write about movements, desire, and longings across distances and bordered spaces. Of diaspora, of the logistical supply chain stretching over ocean waters, of connections transcending prison walls, of crossings over to the ancestral realms. What we each journey through matters, and the futures we imagine begin from now. @jomo206 Venmo @jomo206 It’s gonna be so nice to see you again this year!

🌈🐌 Rainbow snails 🐌🌈 How adorable are these little guys! Just blown away by the kids workshop this week 🫶🏼 It was such a mix in this one >> painting, cutting, glueing and mixed media galore - so much fun! Although I would say an hour was tight to really get all the bits down so I would allow for a bit of extra time on this one to really enjoy it 🙌🏼 The meditation was so beautiful, they were all so relaxed and peaceful 🧘🏼‍♀️ Oh I love what I do so much, so so grateful 🫶🏼 . . . . . #kidsartwork #kidsartclass #meditation #kidsmeditation #childrensartclasses #mindfulness #wellbeing #healthandhappiness #lovewhatyoudo #lovewhatido #myhappyspace #holdingspace #calmness #getcreative #mixedmedia #colourful #rainbow🌈 #snails

Mourning Reflection… Spring is always a wobbly season in our home. There are multiple tender dates on the calendar that tumble into one another week after week. We face too many death dates, birthdays, and holidays knowing close friends’ families, and our own, are deeply missing people integral to our lives. Every year this delicate little magnolia tree we planted joins me in celebrating one of these important dates, always a tough one for me - the day my son Colin was born, and my birthing day. Depending on the weather conditions, the blooms usually begin to appear a few days on either side of this particular tender day. Early one morning last week, the buds were just beginning to unfurl and I witnessed two little rascal squirrels climbing into the branches, picking off and nibbling on the tender buds. I’d never seen them do this before! I was in tears expecting that they’d all be gone by end of day before they even had a chance to bloom. I popped out into the backyard that same evening as the sun was preparing to set, heart prepared for the worst, and was greeted by an entire bush of fully unfurled magnolia blossoms gently swaying in the breeze. One entire branch had been cleaned off by those little devils but thankfully the rest were in tact, and simply glorious in the last golden rays of the sun stretching into the backyard. The softest pink of these paper-thin, fragile blossoms opening after a frigid cold winter always reminds me that I am not breaking (even when at times I’m convinced I am). That I am not broken (even when my heart would argue otherwise). That I am unfolding. Continuously finding my way. Softly. Gently. With tender vulnerability. That I’m doing my best to live this life without my child, and to always honour the day he was born, a day I’ll always consider our own special day. A day that lives firmly entrenched within my heart. I want to remind you that you, too, are not broken. You are surviving, living days that I know seem impossible at times, but you’re doing it. (continued in comments…)

Getting ready for a 1-1 drum day tomorrow ✨ I love these opportunities to deep dive with someone through the drum birthing experience ❤️ #rachaelcrowdrums #drumbirthing #oneonone #anhonour #holdingspace #whenthedrummerswerewomen

This is my happy place. On the mat. Grounded. Present. Of service. I am in my element when I am sharing words and practices that get under the skin. I live for the moments when a single sentence unlocks the gates of the heart. I marvel at the hidden realms of memory accessed through simple, circular breathing. I honour the well of wisdom within each and every one of our sacred bodies. Being alive is a remarkable gift. I am not here to scratch the surface. I am here to go deep. I am here to evolve. I am here to love. I am here to breathe. ❤️✨🧿 #happyplace #grounded #service #healing #connection #divinegifts #breathing #evolve #love #compassion #higherrealms #sharingsession #authenticrelating #sharingcircle #empathy #holdingspace #wisdom

The truth is there will always be times when you just don't know what you should do under the given circumstances, despite how much you research and weigh your options. Here are my top three questions that you can ask yourself to tap into your intuition the next time you're faced with a decision: 1 - How do I feel in my body when I think about making this decision - do I feel expansive or contracted? ​Our body typically knows how we feel about something before our brains do - pay attention to how your body responds when you think about making a decision. ​2 - What is the risk of not doing it or not taking this opportunity? ​This is a great follow up to question one, because sometimes the contraction is just fear trying to keep us safe, vs. an actual “no”. For example, I was beyond scared when I left my agency job in order to start my private practice - there were a lot of tears and anxiety - but it was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. If something is stirring strongly within you, what will you be giving up if you don’t do it? Because inaction IS a decision. And a decision can bring up some initial fear, but still be the right decision. So consider what you might be missing out on in your life if you do nothing or don’t take the opportunity. 3 - Is this decision bringing me closer or farther away from what I actually value? This third question often brings me so much clarity. I purposely said what I ACTUALLY value, because so often we can make decisions based on what other people or society values. An opportunity might look amazing to someone else, but if it’s not in alignment with my core values, it’s a no go for me. Continued in the comments...

And here it is.. My first circle of 2024. It's been about 9 months since I held my last circle. Since then I've had major surgery which made me take a real hard look at my busy life, learn what parts of my life needed to be let go of and what parts of my life I needed to hold on to even tighter. I have contemplated my values and shifted my priorities. I have slowed down and now it's time to rise up. So, here is my latest offering. Sacred Sharing online circle. I am going to be getting back into my happy place and facilitating circles again. 💃🏻💃🏻💃🏻 My monthly online circles will be held on the third Tuesday of the month, the first one 21st May, 8-9.30pm. Who's joining me? Go to the link in my insta bio, or follow the link below 👇🏼👇🏾👇🏿 https://www.eventbrite.com/e/sacred-sharing-circle-online-tickets-677183533177 See you in the circle ⭕

You can resent your role, as a parent, without resenting your children. You may not realize that it’s fairly common for parents to feel a sense of loss, with their new parenting role. This feeling is often unexpected and can leave parents feeling like there is something wrong with them. They wonder why they feel so resentful when they thought this was something they wanted. They feel ashamed for even having these thoughts and feelings and hide them because they are afraid it makes them a “bad” parent… ungrateful. This seems to often be intensified if there was a struggle to get pregnant. Resenting this new life, the new role that is so different… The routine you had prior to having a baby, will need to be adjusted and even that change in routine can send our nervous system out of whack, for a while. So as we search to find alignment between who we were and who we are now, we often feel a sense of loss. For some of us that feeling is so immense that it manifests as grief. We grieve the loss of our former self. This is a natural part of becoming a parent. And like all parts, it’s harder for some, than others. But this sense of loss does not reflect the love you have for your child. It easy to get wrapped up in that self-sabotaging narrative but it’s not true. You are experiencing loss, change, growth and all of those things come with immense challenges that can take time. Want to know how to balance your emotional needs with your child’s?

If you want to increase your capacity to hold space for others, it is important that you understand your window of tolerance, and know how to resource and to nourish the innate resilience in your nervous system. When working with clients presenting complex conditions, it’s not possible to meet them where they’re at, or create a safe and inclusive environment, if you don’t have a resilient nervous system yourself, plus the necessary skills and experience. It’s not surprising that people working in a supporting profession can end up feeling exhausted, overworked, and even burnt-out. You’re doing your best to hold space, and you also realise that your skillset and toolbox of practices continuously need to evolve to meet the changing needs of people today. Learn somatic practices to develop greater capacity for nervous system regulation, co-regulation and resilience, and the skills to create a more trauma-informed environment for your work, whether that’s 1:1 or group settings. This toolkit will benefit you personally and professionally, so you can support yourself as well as your clients and feel nourished by your work.

💜 What is IEMT Integral Eye Movement Therapy (IEMT) is an effective therapy for Adults and children for 🌻anxiety/worry 🌻Panic attacks 🌻anger/frustration 🌻Grief/loss 🌻depression 🌻emotional blocks 🌻Trust issues 🌻Changing stuck/ limiting beliefs 🌻phobias 🌻unwanted habits 🌻Overcoming trauma- Emotional or physical 🌻Dyslexia 🌻Letting go of a past event 🌻Creating confidence and self-esteem 🌻Finding calm/peace 🌻Supporting choice/decisions/freedom and hope IEMT can create rapid change, allowing you to free yourself and move forward from the past and into a healthier, happier future. IEMT was developed by Andrew T. Austin and is used in many countries around the world. Eye movements and careful questioning are employed to rapidly process and discharge uncomfortable reactions to memories and change unhelpful beliefs and emotional imprints (ie how we have learned to feel or be a certain way). Moving the eyes along different axes whilst focussing on the memory or emotion accesses the different parts of the brain where those memories and emotions are stored. This, when carried out in a calm, relaxed state in a safe space, prevents the previous overwhelm in the brain, freeing it to process the memories and change the emotional attachment to them. You are not required to go into lots of detail about your issue/problem. The session will explore some key questions that help us to identify the core elements to change. This allows you to step out of the loop and into a new way of being, free of the distress and unhelpful reactions. 💜 Can IEMT help me? Because of its ability to resolve long-term problems, if you’ve already tried other therapies but still feel stuck or ‘not quite there’, IEMT can help.

Waar struggle je momenteel mee? Emotioneel, fysiek, intellectueel of in t jezelf-ZIJN? En wat zeg je tegen jezelf, welke gedachten en gevoelens mogen er (niet) zijn of zijn in het hier-en-nu minder effectief als voorheen? In hoeverre laat je hulpbronnen toe om jou bij te staan in jouw struggle om er anders mee om te leren gaan? Net als een rups die een tijdlang de cocon moet verdragen voor nieuwe besluiten (herbesluit) te kunnen nemen over hoe jij jouw leven kan gaan leven zoals bij jou past.

My mother passed away last Friday. I began this one next to her bedside while caring for her in her final days.

So wtf is a women's circle? In essence, a gathering of women, coming together to connect with one another and  with something greater than themselves (if that is for you!) We sit in a circle around flame, and speak from the heart. Allowing the wild spectrum of emotion to flow. My circles involve elements of ritual, including meditation, and a space for soulful sharing. No advice is given, we simply listen with our full presence and attention. Why no advice? With the busyness of life, we inevitably have less and less capacity to listen. Especially as women, we are so many things to so many people, with high expectations to keep it all together - an unrealistic and unreachable standard that goes unnoticed and/or unacknowledged, even by those closest to us (and possibly even by ourselves!). How can we listen Inward with so much going on? Holding circle as an intentional space for deep listening provides spaciousness to really see another person, really take them in -  offering them that gift. It also allows us to listen inward to our own heart, our own soul, to sense how we are truly feeling. My next circle will be in-person in my home on 1st May (link in bio). Limited to 8 spaces it is small and intimate. Nerves are welcome ❤️ If you feel like experiencing the magic of circle, you are most welcome to join me ✨️ #womenssharingcircle #womenscircle #womenscircleuk #womenscircles #findawomenscircle #womensupportingwomen #holdingspace  #sisterhood #cardiff #cardiffuk
