Mental Health Mantra 11/365 I took my husband in to hospital this morning for his radio iodine ablation treatment, he'll be there for 4 days as he has to be in strict isolation. Dropping off this man who has been through so much this past year makes me upset, he has seen such a lot in his life, especially in serving in the British Army, my heart goes out to him as he becomes the ready brek man for a few weeks. We have to laugh, it's the only thing that is keeping us going. On being back home surrounded, by my the two Jacks, they keep me centred and sane. If there is one thing that this whole process is teaching me is to trust my own intuitive messages that I hear, feel, sense. I began listening to intuitive intelligence over 32 years ago when I was diagnosed with M.E Myalgic Encephalomyelitis and it is in listening to these messages that I healed into good health after 10 years of navigating that disabling path. On this day in January 2021, I sat quietly on the couch, listening. Breathing, hands over heart and chest. Listening. I knew I needed to deeply relax my body mind and spirit. This called for a big body relax. Switching off from all mediums. Deep breaths, deep exhales. oh... and a huge pot of rooted vegetable soup. Always a winner for me to ground and relax. Do you sometimes get a real gut feeling that gives you a sense of 'this doesn't feel right!' If so, go quiet, remove yourself and get some space between you. Breathe, hands on heart. Trust your own message. It's usually pretty spot on. If you then need to do more research to support your gut feeling. Do it. Rely on your self. Keep shining starbeams. Trust that intuitive intelligence. 'Art with Heart - Calm your Mind, Soothe your Soul'

Mental Health Mantra 10/365 If there's one thing that I have had to practice, daily, is trying not to worry about future. There are many things externally outside of my control. We are all here in our human journey to learn from whatever is in front of us. I have had a plethora thrown at me in particular these last 16 months, and somehow I have to bring myself back to not being panicked and worried because in fact that only serves the narrative and not my own sense of self. It's a daily challenge and I really am not getting it right all the time. Yet as I always say, I wake up, and today I said to myself ' Start from where you are today, Jules." Choosing my Mantra for Every Day is helping to focus for that day, in my quiet time and going inwards.I am seeing them as Mental Health Mantras :) I have been studying embodiment with Damien Wynne and he confirms what I have known within me for my entire life "I have an affect on the field," the field of conscious beings and consciousness, therefore my role now in this Age of Aquarius is to work on my own shadow side and heal my own wounds, this is my way of affecting the greater field, having an affect on the greater web of conscious beings >>>> out there. This may resonate with you, some, nothing, or all of it. Wherever you are right now, today. Start from there. Hope you're enjoying these Mantras for Every Day, I am pleased that I have done 10 days :) 355 to go ! Keep shining your light starseeds and know you are intuitive. Sending love x 'Art with Heart - Calm your Mind, Soothe your Soul'

In creating a mantra for my every day, I hope that I somehow inspire you to also create your mantra for the day. In the stillness, early hours, it appears to me, perhaps while I'm journalling or, listening to some music, quiet time meditation.
For me, 'go where you feel most alive' popped up today and it is a reminder of what makes me feel alive, existing, valuable, here on this earth, in this human body. The background photograph used here is of a trip to Cornwall in May 2019, we went walking to Lizard Point and in my imaginings I remember this place, before all the turmoil that ensued just months after. It reminds me of the cliffs, the sea, the beach, a place being in nature that makes me feel like a real part of this planet and here for a reason. I have other places where I feel most alive. Woods, Forests, Mountains, by a log fire, in a log cabin, listening to snow, if I explore this phrase I can get a sense of this all being outdoors. And yet, to go where I feel most alive also means - here. - now. In my headspace of creativity and wonder. That place is inside of me too. I can go there whenever. My deep starseed consciousness will take me there. You too. Go where you feel most alive is with in and with out. Keep shining starseeds and connect to your intutive intelligence Sending love

Mental Health Mantra 8/365 There are always going to be a number of scenarios, shall I go this way, shall I go that way? Will this happen, will this not happen? Do I need to do this, do I need to do that? These past 15 months since Mum died and all that has come after that, I have had to make a real huge effort to let go of the what ifs. Because, well, there are many directions and many things to confuse myself with.... the what if game gets very tiring and worry some, and what or who does it serve? I liken it to the film Sliding Doors, basically we always have choices of this way or that way. I have made choices that with hindsight I wish I had made a different choice. The present moment is all we have... and in the present moment we decide. Some of that is in our control and then there is stuff that's external out of our control. I am not going to give any energy to my what ifs here ... because what would be the point in that. What we focus upon grows. So I'll keep them tucked away. I will continue to let go of my what ifs and feel into this present moment of right now.. i.e here typing this right now. If a what if appears ... I have my mantra to turn to and I will be making sure this Muse is somewhere to be seen. I let go of my what ifs.Give it a whirl, why don't you? Keep shining your bright light and remember your intuitive intelligence. "Art with Heart - Calm your Mind, Soothe your Soul."
Mental Health Mantra 7/365 If there's one thing that has been at the forefront of getting through these past 15 months, raising my frequency has been up there with finding stillness in my every day. When I choose to focus on raising frequency and vibration, I feel way more aligned and flowing. In tune. In 2004, I stepped out of my comfort zone and went to the 6th International Conference on Science and Consciousness in Albuquerque, New Mexico. I went alone - it was the most amazing trip I have ever experienced. It was here I began to fully engage with quantum physics, which I had been introduced to 22 years earlier when I was in the grips of suffering with Myalgic Encephalomyelitis. It was here I began to learn more about vibration, frequency and the human connection. I could go down a rabbit hole here and I will be doing more of this as I'm finishing writing my book Rebalance Me, this plays a large part. For now, I will say the higher our frequency the increase in our physical and mental immunity, pitch this against very low / dense frequencies like fear and worrying, our physical and mental immunity depletes dramatically. I recognised that the key is stepping into the higher frequency and higher emotions of love, compassion, trust, faith and put all effort here. These frequencies help us as individuals within our communities and has a huge impact on the planet. I am really feeling a great changing occur right now since winter solstice. This may be as we traverse the move into The Age of Aquarius - there is a dismantling of old fear based programming which is evident every day we turn on the TV. If we step away from it and focus on increasing our frequency, we allow the flow of higher light energies to flood our earthly bodies. Low frequencies are: fear, nervousness, rage, hate and even fatigue. High frequencies: love, smiles, blessing, gratitude, playing, painting, singing, dancing, meditating, tai chi, yoga, walking, exercises, sunshine, enjoying nature, loving food, planting seeds, eating seeds, grains, legumes, fruits and vegetables. Drinking distilled water. Did you know the vibration of prayer goes from 120-350hz? I have to take action every day to focus on increasing my frequency. I don't watch or listen to News, Fear Based Visuals, Games, Books, etc.... Horror, Apocalyptic Films. Of course I know what's happening around me but I choose to raise my frequency higher and step away. That also means I will uninstall apps that perpetuate a fear based narrative. It is somewhere to start, and something that I can take action with every day, hope this helps you too. Keep shining your light and trust your intuitive intelligence.

Mental Health Mantra 6/365 Today has been a day when I could easily have stayed under neath the duvet. What with Parliament voting on lockdown here in England with only 16 against make my heart hurt for so many people who are struggling, me included. I generally have pretty good flexible mental health, and yet, this is a real challenge. And yet, I stay hope full. I know there is something very deep going on here, that will come out in the fullness of time. There is a methodology happening behind the scenes. I keep saying this to myself. Stay Hope Full. Stay Hope Full. Stay Hope Full. I hope that you're doing okay out there. Keep shining and trusting your intuitive intelligence. 'Art with heart - Calm your Mind, Soothe your Soul'
Mental Health Mantra 5/365 Today I was in flow. Stars aligned and it all felt right. I had a very deep Reiki meditation session yesterday which I think I told you about.
A collaboration that had been in the planning and research phase for months with my friend Melody Salad, just all fell into place. We realised what we needed to do there and then. I could hear myself say. When in flow, just flow. Don't question. Step back from the analysis Just flow Jules, just flow. The situation presenting itself here in England is dire, we need collaboration and connection. This year is the year to finish book number 4. Rebalance Me and I'll share more about that along the way. Till tomorrow. Keep shining sunshine, and feeling your way back to intuition. You'll know what's right for you. Mental Health Mantra 4/365 The day started off on a high as I heard the news that the extradition of Julian Assange had been refused. Such good news! This would have been an attack on press freedom and we really do need this to be upheld, as we witness more and more censorship over the last 9 months. The mainstream media have turned into a PR departmental arm of the government and more and more so, not investigative stations. This is why I turned the news off 32 years ago. Anyway, I have been following closely on Twitter all that has been going on and it appalls and shocks me. The wool is very much being pulled over our eyes. I intuitively knew that I had to go inwards. As the day progressed, I shifted, I had a lovely walk with a friend around Sefton Park perimeter, there were so many people out walking, talking, running, cycling. I then had a wonderful Reiki Relaxation Meditation session with the holistic practitioner from Chai Cancer Care. She has been so supportive of me for the past few months, her meditations and full body relaxation, as well as channelling Reiki are helping a great deal. I am truly grateful for Chai Cancer Care as they have been a life saver for me and my husband during this time when all cancer wellbeing services are still closed. The mantra for this Muse and blog post today is Holding The Light, currently so important for me and maybe for you? The light will always outshine the darkness and dense energies. Therefore it's something I say to myself regularly. I am holding the light I am holding the light. You may find this helpful too. Know that I'm sending you oodles of hugs Keep shining and holding your light and trust your intuitive intelligence. Muse Mantras >Art with Heart< "Calm your Mind Soothe your Soul."
Mental Health Mantra 3/365 I went to visit my 91 year old Dad today through his bedroom window in the residential home where he is living - I haven't hugged him since March. It was quite an upsetting visit as he was sobbing and crying this morning, part of this is his illness of vascular dementia, but he was also upset to see me outside in the cold all wrapped up and he just couldn't understand why I wasn't allowed inside to sit with him. Pretty much the whole 30 minutes he was crying and sobbing. 'Keep going' I told myself, 'don't collapse and cry with him', I was beginning to feel my voice tremble. I had brought a bag full of goodies I know he likes, fruity shower gel, under arm spray, a big carton of Osem Croutons and pictures of us that his key worker will help to stick into his on going scrapbook I made for him. I gathered all my energy for 10am on a Sunday morning and tried to talk him through those tears. The last time I visited him it was only last week, Christmas Day, the visit went well. I think it's all about the set up. Who's with him, which carer, how his day has started. I had made sure they knew I was coming but I didn't call this morning before I left, maybe I should have done. He wasn't in his room, he was in the lounge. Window visits are tough. No touch, or energy connection. Driving home I could let it go, I felt shaken and upset, I was thinking about what I needed to affirm and this popped into my forebrain. I am brave, yes you are! I know you need to know it too. Whatever is facing you in this now moment, take 3 minutes and declare .... I am BRAVE Yes you are! Sending oodles of warmth Keep shining your light and trust your intuitive intelligence.

Mental Health Mantra 2/365
Sometimes I can get caught up in moment of apprehension, I go down that rabbit hole and eat myself down further, until I remember, that I have to somehow shift the focus and move to do something else.
Shift the focus is often connected to doing something for someone else but it can easily also be;- 1. take a shower 2. walk my dogs 3. stick on some White Light by George Michael and dance. 4. call one of my friends to connect. 5. play The Glad Game and write down all my gratitudes in that moment. 6. sit in stillness and breathe (I know that sounds like a tad twee but it really works for me). That's just a wee example but I find if I have a list of things that can shift my focus, it is my go-to and it helps. Often it's just an intuitive nudge that I need to get me out of the rabbit hole moment. I am really grateful that I was attuned to Reiki 18 years ago, it is in fact a tool that never leaves me, and I can sit doing a self healing if all things are not going well. If there was one thing I wished everyone had was level one Reiki attunement as you are taught how to lay hands on yourself and do a self healing #priceless (check out my Self soothing Affirmantra Meditation Video with 9 hand positions that you can do for yourself, I'll write more about that in another post.) Today the Muse Mantra for me and for you is 'Shift Your Focus.'
My nudge to you, is to take a moment and shift your focus. Whatever that means to you.
Your intuitive self will know what that means. Sending oodles of real time hugs to you Keep shining your light and trust your intuitive intelligence.
"calm your mind, soothe your soul"
Mental Health Mantra 1/365
It's the 1st of January 2021, I decided to step back into the Land of Blog.
For a few reasons. With everything going on in 2019/2020 in my own life and also in the country/the world, I have stepped away from social media big time. I had to focus what energy I had into caring and looking after my husband who was undergoing cancer treatment, the first major op being spinal stabilisation surgery then high dose intensive radiation (I may go deeper into this, but not just yet) I just could not cope with socials as well. I tried for a couple of weeks but I realised it was hugely draining. I was also seeing seeing something happen that was making me feel really uncomfortable - censorship. Maybe it's the Jewish woman in me that fights for human rights and deplores shutting down of voices, I was stunned - I couldn't believe the way people were not permitted to have open discussions, or differing opinions. I was astounded that medical interventions to boost immunity were censored - I mean posts about Vitamin C, Zinc, and Quercetin were zapped out. Having a honours degree in health and a debilitating viral illness for 9 years in my 20s I am a health investigator, researcher, and healer. It made me feel very uncomfortable so I stepped away. I still have my accounts I pop in here and there, I hadn't been very present these past 15 months. I stopped blogging and vlogging a few years ago because it all seemed to be about being on the socials. I was seeing less reach and it all became so complicated about widgets and coding .... bla bla bla and then I began to watch as accounts were deleted and taken down for holding a conversation about covid, I realised that I had invested 10 years in social media and bam, like that, all my stuff could be gone. Even if I delete my account, poof, it's gone. I hadn't put any time or energy into my own website for a long while, which is held on my own server. I used to write lots on there under various other blogging sites. In journalling every day, in my daily discussions with myself this morning, I made a pact. I would put effort into my own website and blog. Maybe even stepping up to vlog again or maybe even podcast. I still have so much going on in my life in a caring capacity and also so much more (maybe I'll share that sometime) that takes all the energy I have in reserves, I have to spend what's left in filling up my own tanks. My pact extended a little further, I wanted to raise my vibration by creating every day and I turn back to Muse Mantras - these have been a lifesaver over the last 8 years. In the past 15 months since losing Mum and the grief that followed and Dad with vascular dementia, who's now living in a residential home and I can only visit him through a window (that's for another post), and for the past 9 months looking after my husband with cancer, I have sought so many things to keep me somehow upright and functioning. Sometimes, I get it right, other times I collapse and cry in a heap at night because I feel I'm failing. But I am going to give it a whirl and see if I can merge the two... and get to the end of January by posting a Muse Mantra every day. I am revisiting illustrations that I have in my portfolio and will begin to upcycle them . Who doesn't love an upcycle, plus it gets me back into the flow. My intention is that these will help you to calm your mind and soothe your soul. Today I am OK - this affirmantra has been a huge focus for me over the past year as I have balanced all the plates in my life. It has been a life saver in the moment of grief, or sadness, or anxiety or despair, where I close my eyes, place my hands over my heart and say to myself and out loud. TODAY I AM OK. It soothes me. It keeps me in the now moment. I let go of fear. Here it is for you too. TODAY I AM OK. Sending oodles of love your way. Keep shining your light and trust your intuitive intelligence. |
