So, my daughters love going to the annual local music festival. This year I bought a weekend ticket and popped in and out. The weather was pretty bonkers, heavy heavy rain and wind. This made for a muddy, damp festival. Thank goodness I live up the road to be able to pop home and grab dry clothes etc. Anyway, last year with the pressure of needing to be present for the girls, my body went into shut down and I was in pain. This year I managed to make it through the festival for the pain to start the day it ended. Alas, a few days later and I’m feeling much better. This pattern has shaped my life. It’s not conscious, because consciously I’m relaxing my body and mind. It’s all happening below the surface in the deepest chasms of my subconscious. I heard somewhere this last week that on a brain scan, physical and emotional pain registered in exactly the same places. (I do wish, I’d remember to document these facts). It’s interesting though…. It’s 4.04am and I should really get back to sleep. Sending 🧡

In a couple of hours I’m doing an open studio session. I’ve decided I need colour, so I’m using alcohol pens on white card. I’d love it if you want to use this session to create too. Nothing fancy, just the act of making marks can have a profound effect on the nervous system and release. 🧡
