I'm just adding a few more images and videos to the mini course, but its ready for you to dive in and learn more about this incredible little plant. Just click on the classroom tab at the top and have a look 👀

I've been spending time with one of my favourite little plants: Self-Heal. You may have walked past it countless times without noticing it. Growing quietly amongst grasslands, meadows, lawns and hedgerows, it hugs the earth and asks us to slow down enough to see it. In the video, I explore some of the traditional medicinal uses of Self-Heal, including its use for wounds, sore throats, viral infections, liver support and thyroid health. But what fascinates me most about this humble plant is its deeper symbolism. As a flower essence, Self-Heal is associated with transformation, self-trust and becoming who we truly are. Not fixing. Not striving. Not becoming someone else. But gently shedding what no longer serves us and growing into who we were always meant to be. That feels beautifully aligned with what we're creating here in Rooted in Nature. A journey back to ourselves. A remembering. A becoming. 🌿✨ One of the things I love about Self-Heal is that many of us can find it growing nearby, wherever we are in the world. It grows throughout Britain and Ireland, across much of Europe, North America, Asia and parts of Australia and New Zealand, quietly supporting people through the centuries. It's not rare. It's not flashy. It's simply there, growing beneath our feet, offering its gifts to those who take the time to notice. And perhaps there is wisdom in that too. This video is also the beginning of something new. Over the coming weeks I'll be creating a Self-Heal Mini-Course for our community, where we'll explore its herbal uses, folklore, flower essence qualities, practical remedies and ways to work with this beautiful plant ally. I'd love to know: 🌍 Where in the world are you joining us from? 🌿 Does Self-Heal grow where you live? ✨ And what does the word becoming mean to you at this stage of your life? I'd love to hear your thoughts below. 💜

Just a quick one today. I wanted to share a favourite song with you, very fitting for todays energy. This song makes the hairs stand up on the back of my neck. Bit of eye candy too, if thats your preference ;-) Enjoy. x https://youtu.be/0E1bNmyPWww?si=mkut8YJwYBzw5eVu

Today we move into the Last Quarter Moon, and the energy is unmistakable — quieter, more inward, asking us to slow down and release. In astrology, the Last Quarter Moon phase represents letting go of what's better off left in the past, before we arrive at the New Moon at the end of the week. Think of it as the universe creating a sacred pause — a clearing out before something new can be born. And today, this moon sits in Pisces, which makes this energy feel especially tender, deep, and spiritually charged. 🌊 Why Pisces Makes This Moment So Powerful As Pisces governs intuition, dreams, and divine guidance, this lunar energy reminds us that even when life feels uncertain, the universe is still working behind the scenes. The Last Quarter Moon in Pisces dissolves what logic is trying to hold together. Think of this as your personal release checkpoint. What you've been holding onto through daily mental loops, the stories you keep retelling — it's time to let it go. Pisces doesn't negotiate with facts; it moves through feelings, and right now that energy is asking us to talk less and feel more. This is not a moon for pushing forward or taking big action. It's an invitation to go inward — to soften, to feel, and to trust what your intuition already knows. 🤍 The Invitation: Forgiveness, Closure & Release Our ability to be compassionate and trust our intuition will help us know the best way to connect and communicate — with others and with ourselves. Letting go of fear-based patterns from the past will assist us in this process. This Moon is a powerful portal for forgiveness — not because everything is resolved, but because carrying it is costing you more than releasing it ever will. And that forgiveness extends to yourself too. The best place to start is to look at what or who you've been hesitating to forgive completely — and this includes yourself. Maybe it's a version of yourself you've been judging. A decision you keep replaying. A person you've been holding at arm's length inside your heart. Forgiveness doesn't mean what happened was okay — it means you refuse to carry it any longer. You can do this through a conversation, or even a letter you never actually send.

The garden is growing fast. The hedgerows are full. The days are long. And yet today, at least here, the sky is grey and the rain is falling. I've been a little quieter in the community over the last few days because I've been trying to get my head around Meta (Facebook) ads. It's felt like I've been going round in circles at times—frustrating, time-consuming, and definitely not what I'd choose to be doing with my days! But it's a necessary part of running a business and reaching more people. It reminded me that growth doesn't always happen in sunshine. Sometimes growth happens quietly. Sometimes it happens underground. Sometimes it happens when we're forced to slow down and focus on the things we'd rather avoid. In my case, that meant going back to basics and following step-by-step processes. Not an easy ask for an ADHD brain that likes to jump ahead! But persevere I have, and success has finally come. While the rain has been falling outside, the flowers have been blooming and the garden has been having a good drink. And while I've been glued to my laptop, determined to find the answers, I've realised I've actually grown in knowledge and understanding too. I've been trying to master this stuff for years, and something has finally clicked. When I've felt overwhelm creeping in, I've reached for my rose petal spray, taken a mindful moment, and brought myself back to the present. I'm pleased to report that I've managed to stay calm and centred... ...and I have successfully refrained from throwing my laptop out of the window. 😆 So today's journal prompt is: ✨ What in my life is growing right now, even if I can't fully see it yet? Perhaps it's confidence.Perhaps it's a new idea.Perhaps it's a relationship, a skill, or a deeper connection to yourself. Nature doesn't rush the process, and neither do we. I'd love to hear your reflections below if you'd like to share. 🌿
