Allowing the Right Thing at the Right Time

Yesterday, I could feel tightness building in my chest as soon as I thought about the emails I needed to write. It was the beginning of stress, that familiar sense that I should get on with them and keep everything moving.

The interesting part was that I felt good overall. When I checked in with m...

This, or Something Even Better

When we learn about manifesting, we are often encouraged to finish an affirmation with the words:

“This, or something even better.”

Those few words hold the difference between receiving and allowing.

The affirmation names what you are ready to receive. You recognise the desire, claim the possibil...

Spiritual Alignment: How to Know When You're Drifting (And How to Return)

Knowing who you are at soul level brings a real sense of relief. You stop trying to squeeze yourself into someone else’s way of living, choosing, creating, or trusting, and you begin to understand why certain things feel right for you and others never quite do.  The video below has a short light lan...

The Link Between Emotional Pain & Mental Noise: Reclaim Your Alignment

You know that loop, the thought that will not let go, the replay of a conversation, the worry that appears at 2am and will not let you sleep.

You may try to think your way out of it. You analyse what happened, what they meant, what you should have said, what you should do next, and whether you are ...

Authentic Action and the Energy of Alignment

There is a lovely feeling at the end of a day when you know you have moved through it as yourself. The things that needed to get done have happened, or enough of them have happened, and you do not feel as though you had to drag yourself through every single step by the scruff of the neck.

You feel ...

There is a wonderful feeling when all the parts of you begin moving in the same direction. Your energy, that is, not just your body! Your spiritual knowing feels clearer, your mind has something true to focus on, your emotions become easier to understand, and your actions begin to match the life you...

Your Soul Knows How to Speak to You

This month I have been exploring receiving, and this final piece feels like the one that brings it all back to who we really are.

We have looked at receiving through the body, through rest, breath and allowing ourselves to stop. We have looked at receiving emotionally and mentally, especially the a...

People Are Allowed to Think You’re Fabulous

Receiving compliments is a brilliant place to look at receiving, especially in Ireland, where many of us seem to have turned deflecting praise into a national sport.

Someone says something lovely, and before the compliment has barely left their mouth, we have made a joke, changed the subject, expla...

When Stopping Feels Like Doing: Your Body’s Permission to Actually Rest

This month I am exploring receiving, and the body feels like the perfect place to begin. We can talk about receiving love, support, abundance, guidance and wisdom, but if our body is still braced for the next job, half holding its breath and waiting for the imaginary starter pistol to go off, receiv...

Can You Let Yourself Receive?

Receiving sounds lovely, doesn’t it? Until someone actually offers us help, love, rest, money, guidance, or support, and suddenly we are awkward, busy, unavailable, or pretending we are fine.

We may say we want to receive more, but often our energy tells a slightly different story. Our mouth says y...

Your Radiance Has Not Gone Anywhere

There is a part of your being that already knows how to feel clear, connected, joyful, and true to yourself.

Even on the days when life feels full, your light is still there. It may be harder to feel when your mind is busy, your energy is stretched, or the world around you feels loud, but it has no...

Are You Running on Radiance or Willpower?

Imagine moving through your day with clear choices, real energy, and the feeling that you are being drawn towards what lights you up, rather than dragging yourself through another list of things you just have to do.

That is the kind of energy many of us want. I call it radiance...confidence, joy, l...
