I recently had the pleasure of running some sessions for an online event called Wellness Together. This bonus episode includes one of the meditation exercises that I shared with the participants.  There are no show notes for this episode, so please get yourself comfortable with a pen and paper to hand, as I invite you to step into 'Soul Time' via your breath and body. The prompts at the end of the meditation:  Things I noticed during the meditation were... The emotions/feelings that came up for me around these things were... If I were to know the message these things are telling me, it would be... Other things that occurred to me during the exercise were... Find more at www.intentionalhealing.co.uk, on Facebook or Instagram. 

Just as the flowers are blooming outside, Spring is the time when we often feel stirrings within ourselves. This episode is about listening to the signs that something is ready to bloom within you, and how to ascertain the appropriate steps you can take. A guided visualisation is included. You might like to get a pen and paper ready before listening, so you can make a note of what you uncover!  Mentioned in this episode:  - Intentional Healing UK - Light is the New Black by Rebecca Campbell (Amazon affiliate link) - IHUK Women's Circle - Sarah's Beltane Spread (published on 'The Curious Cardslinger')

With the introduction of new IHUK offerings which include card-reading, this short episode considers the way that our questions can affect the guidance available, and offers sample questions which leave space for answers that you may not know you need!  Combination Reiki & Reading sessions and stand-alone email readings are available via the IHUK website, and you can find collective readings, free spreads, and commentary from Sarah on The Curious Cardslinger blog,  Facebook Page and Instagram account.  (Cover art shows the Moonchild Tarot by Danielle Noel)

“New research shows the human heart is much more than an efficient pump that sustains life. [R]esearch suggests the heart also is an access point to a source of wisdom and intelligence that we can call upon to live our lives with more balance, greater creativity and enhanced intuitive capacities. All of these are important for increasing personal effectiveness, improving health and relationships and achieving greater fulfilment.” - from 'Science of the Heart' published by the HeartMath Institute.  If our hearts are such an incredible source, how can we access the wisdom and intelligence within them on a day-to-day basis? How do we learn to recognise and trust the guidance we receive? I believe 'heart-centred living' (HCL) is the solution to this. This episode is about using HCL to bring your physical, mental, and emotional systems into balanced alignment with your heart’s intuitive guidance. It includes a guided meditation / visualisation and a written exercise you can use to align with and tap into your heart's wisdom. Find the downloadable exercise sheet (PDF) here.

If you've ever spent much time with babies and very young children, you'll be familiar with their flawless authenticity and self-expression. When they are happy, or they love something, it's really obvious - in their face, voice, and body language. Similarly, when they are unhappy you know it. There is rarely any doubt about how a one-year-old is feeling, regardless of where they are or who else is around! Yet the opposite is the case with most adults. Something makes us shift from being self-expressed kids to holding back as we mature. This short episode includes a discussion of ​authenticity and why it is that we feel compelled to hold back our authentic selves. You are invited to consider how this may be affecting your own life and wellbeing.

A somewhat rough and ready episode (recorded on holiday), in which I’m talking about recognising and letting go of self-doubt and the notion that we have to have everything ‘together’ before we can share our voices.

I recently shared a video of Russell Brand talking about how the justification of pain is a way of recommitting to it. Brand said each time you blame whatever happened to you as your justification for pain or suffering, it is the same as signing a new contract with it. But when you choose to let go of the suffering and can say "this happened to me and I want to move forward" you have the opportunity to re-imagine your world and your place in it. In this episode, I'm discussing the issue of choice and offer practical steps you can use to help let go of the things you've been 'recommitting' to and which are cutting you off from peace.
