And the wheel turns

December has just pointed its nose and soon we will be blessed by the energy of the new moon and the total solar eclipse – on the 3rd/4th of Dec.

Big shifts, endings, new awareness, different priorities…

The cosmic, collective and individual intensity is palpable at the moment and many of us are feeling it – some of us experience extreme tiredness, confusion, need to reevaluate and some huge amounts of inspiration and drive.

As the ‘people world’ out there continues to get madder each day, the wind, cold, snow, trees shedding their last leaves remind us of the magical cycle of life and the sacred seasons that allow for all to come into place at the right time.

More than ever, I feel it is important to spend as much time as possible in nature. This is where the distortions, confusion and outside pressures have no place. This is where one can more easily fully drop into presence and be reminded of what truly is. This is where we are invited and encouraged to connect to source and reconnect to our own inner guidance and wisdom first and foremost. This is where we are reminded of the connection between all that is and the need to drop the illusion of separation.

So go into the woods if you can. Sit by a stream. Hug a tree. Play in the snow. Gaze at the stars. Jump into puddles. Get up for a sunrise. Walk a bit further to catch that sunset. Spend a few minutes sitting or lying on the ground. Speak to the Earth and listen to Her.

Also I wanted to let you know that there is an opportunity to work with me in a group setting online for 28 days starting on the 02/02/2022 from anywhere in the world by taking my ‘You Are the Medicine’ course. The group sessions will be held on Zoom each Wednesday. Plus you get an individual session that you can book for whenever you’d like (during or after the course). If you are seeking to to be supported and guided in remembering your magic, in finding your voice, in reclaiming your inner power and courage, in bringing sacred connection back into your life, in anchoring your wisdom here on earth, then do get in touch. We will be working holistically with voice, journeying, intuition, mindset and more.

Here is what a couple of people who have just done the program with me last month say about it:

“This course is absolutely incredible! Natacha is the most beautiful teacher and in a subtle and fun filled way she takes you on a life changing journey! I cannot recommend this highly enough if you really want to Find Your Voice and Discover Your Magic” N.H

“I am a little speechless to find the words to try & express what I want to say because it’s beyond words really, so much in a spiritual, energetic place that is breathtaking & beautiful, the place you have, through your gentle but powerful medicine helped me to find my connection to. My world seems to have another dimension to it. I can feel the glittering star nations & the beings that are trees, the roots, the earth. You helped me understand how to connect with that for myself. You released a long held trauma with your intuition & guidance. I am so thank ful, beyond words, for your precious being, that I was lucky enough to cross your path. Dear beautiful Natacha. Just now I got my piano out & just improvised and the sunset and the stars and butterflies were all there. I haven’t played for nearly 2 years! You did that. Dear beautiful soul.” – V.R

As I said, if you are interested, please reach out.

I wish you all a beautiful December. May you find comfort and inspiration in the smallest of things.

With so much love, as always

The Mind is Just a Scared Bunny

It is absolutely OK to feel. It is absolutely OK to express. It is absolutely OK to share.

The heart wants nothing more than to open, feel and embrace. The mind on the other hand spends much of its time freaking out and strategically planning our unnecessary rescue.

With all due respect to this amazing creature which is the mind, it can often act like an overly protective parent who inadvertently hinders the confidence of their child by trying to save their baby from the world.

When there is real danger our most sophisticated programmes kick in – which to be honest is a blessing and often a life saver. But do we really need to deploy our attack and defence forces when we are sitting on a sofa? Creating a vision? Walking towards our dreams? Having a conversation? Sharing our heart? Honouring our creativity? It is a bit mad, if we think about it, isn’t it?

OK – making coffee is essential, right? But do we tend to leave the machine running day and night, making coffee whether we are in or out – just in case? Even the most caffeine addicted would not do that. Pushing the ON button is essential when we want that coffee. But then we switch it OFF. As human beings we need to learn to de-programme, to know how to switch that button from ON to OFF and we need to be disciplined about it. There is no other way.

So thank you mind for all you do. But 90% of the time there is no problem to solve and we do not need protecting or rescuing. Rest, sweet mind while we explore!

The mind is just a scared bunny…. It finds the light threatening. Perhaps it thinks we are going to disappear into the sun if we shine too bright.

Perhaps it believes we are going to be in danger if we allow, are and act from a place of centred heart energy. Perhaps it fears we will fall apart if we feel and live a life fuelled by intuition, love and abundance. We do not have to take on these distorted beliefs. Instead let’s go back to source and listen to the light and wisdom within.

Why is it that we human beings either shut down, suppress or judge and punish ourselves for feeling, sensing? How crazy is that – really – if you think about it…? What is, just is; isn’t it? I am not talking about blindly tolerating the atrocities which are going on in the world and on this planet but about really seeing, observing and being true to one’s inner landscape.

Shouldn’t our effort and energy be put into aligning ourselves with what is? Into becoming more aware and awake so that we are no longer the slaves of some delusional reality? So that instead of walking blind and fooling ourselves we really see and grow into the beautiful uniqueness that we have been given and are?

Retuning ourselves so that integrity is at the core of our actions; so that rather than letting a disguised need to fix our lack of self worth take the reigns and inevitably destroy our life and those of others, we step into our own power and dignity with love; so that flattery of the ego is not a road we would ever consider again.

So that inner peace can eventually reign over our demons.

With the blessings of the New Moon, may we surrender with grace, let go of what is no longer serving us and set some heart centred, soul fuelled intentions.
