The Power To Negotiate – Meditation

We are all unique, with varying agendas and points of view. The power to negotiate enables us to speak clearly and behave fairly to those who want different things from us, so as to achieve a mutually satisfactory outcome. Instead of having the same disagreements, conflicts and stalemates, we make progress. We care about the process as well as the outcome. We are trustworthy in thought, speech and action, and we achieve together. Shakti Durga Strength of the Soul Cards (purple pack)

This week I’ve been reminded of the quiet power of oracle cards. With the right intention and presence, they so often deliver exactly the message we need. Recently, during a small in-person meditation, I felt guided to pull a card for each participant — one for the specific, individual situation they were healing.

Come and be Nourished, a Special Retreat 13th – 15th September 24

For many people, especially those who aren’t used to taking time out at a retreat, you may be wondering why I am sending you this email and inviting you to come and be nourished.

I imagine that you often put yourself last, and have a long list of stuff you are always doing for others. And that you have got used to living with a certain level of stress, that it has become fairly normal and you may not even remember what it’s like to feel stress-free.

However, stress causes a lot of harm to our physical and mental well-being, and affects our sleep and our relationships. You may be so stressed you feel like you are constantly firefighting your way through life, only to realise you’re a decade older than you thought and you no longer know who you are, what your hopes and dreams are or where you are going in life.

This may be normal but it’s not the way it has to be, it was the way I believed I’d spend my life, but then, let’s call it fate, came along and redirected me, and now I am passionate about helping others choose another way.
