I've always found the summer solstice fascinating. For months we've been moving towards it - having more daylight, lighter mornings and longer evenings - and then, when we reach the longest day of the year, the days begin getting shorter again. There's something wonderfully ironic about that to me. That's because nature never stands still Never reaches a destination and stays there. She's constantly moving, constantly changing, constantly transitioning. Which makes me wonder - How much easier would life feel if we stopped expecting ourselves to remain the same all the time? Expecting ourselves to have the same energy, the same motivation, the same needs, the same capacity. Even the same habits and routines, the things we do day in day out. Our bodies are constantly changing too! 🌱 Some days asking for movement. 🏔️ Some days asking for rest. 🌻 Some days asking us to get out there and express ourselves. 🍂 Other days asking us to slow down and listen. And perhaps that's where we sometimes get ourselves into trouble 🙄 When summer arrives, it can be easy to assume we're supposed to feel summery too. Somehow we should have more energy. More motivation. Be doing more. Going out more. But maybe that's not the invitation at all. Maybe the invitation is simply to notice. To notice what's happening around us. To notice what's happening within us. And to recognise that no matter what season is unfolding outside, we can learn to move with the seasons unfolding within us too. Not forcing ourselves to fit the season, but allowing the season to help us better understand ourselves 🌞 Happy Solstice P. S. and 1st Quarter blessings too! 🌓

I've had a really interesting realisation recently. As I've moved through winter I've been looking forward to summer. The light mornings. The longer days. The sunshine. The feeling of being able to get outside more. Then the other day I caught myself doing the opposite. Summer is finally arriving but I found myself longing for winter. Literally craving it! But why exactly? Surely not the dark or the cold - it's cold enough here in "Blighty" at the moment. So it got me thinking. Is it actually winter I'm craving, or is it some quality of winter that I desire instead? It reminded me of comfort food. When we crave comfort food, we know it's not really the food we're craving. We're craving the "comfort". The food just becomes the vehicle through which we try to give ourselves that feeling. Yet if we dig a little deeper, we can often uncover the truth behind the craving and support ourselves in the way we're truly asking to be supported, rather than simply suppressing the need. And that got me thinking. What does this winter craving actually tell me? Because if I'm craving summer in winter and winter in summer, maybe the craving isn't actually about the season at all. One of the things I often explore through Intuology is that a craving is information. It doesn't automatically mean that the thing we're craving is the answer. Sometimes it's pointing towards something deeper. When we become curious about what cravings are telling us, we often discover that the craving itself isn't the message at all. So when I say I'm craving winter, what am I really craving? It's not Christmas. It's not dark evenings. It's not freezing temperatures. (That's a dead cert!) It's the qualities that winter represents for me. The slowing down. The going within. The incubation. The reflection. The permission to stop striving and simply be for a while. And what's interesting is that as I've been reflecting on this, we're also moving towards the dark moon. Our inner winter 🌚

I hear it all the time: "my hormones this" "my hormones that". Seriously, if your hormones are that "off the rails" maybe pause for a second and ask yourself why they would do that? What if it's not because of "menopause" or some other false design fault? What if it's to do with what you're surrounding them with every single day? Because the people handing out body-fixing drugs and dietary fixes for supposedly broken bodies, rarely stop to factor this in. We are living in a world absolutely saturated in synthetic chemicals and somehow we act shocked when our bodies start struggling to regulate. And maybe menopause does factor in here. Not because it's the problem, but because it reveals what the body has already been dealing with for years. Not creating the issue, but exposing what the body can no longer compensate for. One of the biggest examples? - Laundry detergents and fabric softeners! And before people dismiss this as dramatic, explain this to me: Why can someone else's laundry products transfer onto my own clothes so strongly that even after washing them three times the smell is still there? Why can I get into a car and smell the previous passenger chemically? Why can someone walk past me outdoors and leave behind a cloud of synthetic fragrance hanging in the air? That is not "freshness." That is chemical persistence. These products are literally designed to coat fibres, cling to fabrics, survive washing, and continuously release fragrance compounds into the air. That "clean laundry smell" people are addicted to is synthetic chemical exposure being normalised as cleanliness. And the part that is the most insane to me of all this, is most people do not even notice it anymore because they are so deeply saturated in it themselves. The day you remove this stuff from your own environment is the day you realise how hideous and insidious it actually is. Once your body is no longer constantly bathing in synthetic fragrance you suddenly notice how aggressive it all feels. The smell becomes overwhelming. Artificial. Suffocating.
