For most of my life, I thought I was just “too sensitive.” Too emotional. Too aware. Too deeply affected by things other people seemed to brush off. A change in someone’s tone. A short reply. Feeling left out. Someone seeming distant. Being corrected. And suddenly my whole nervous system would spiral trying to work out what I’d done wrong. I’ve also always had 50,000 ideas and projects happening at once. My mind rarely slows down. I get inspired easily. Excited easily. Bored easily too. Lately, I’ve been learning more about ADHD, nervous systems, emotional regulation, and sensitivity… and honestly, so much of my life suddenly makes sense. I haven’t been diagnosed.And truthfully, I’m not overly attached to labels anyway. Labels are for cans. 😉 But understanding that some nervous systems experience rejection, criticism, overwhelm, and emotions more intensely has helped me meet myself with far more compassion. For years I thought something was wrong with me. Now I see it differently. I don’t see my sensitivity as weakness anymore. I see it as awareness. As intuition. As creativity. As empathy. As the part of me that notices what others often miss. I also know I need quiet. Stillness Space to regulate my nervous system and return to myself. That’s why meditation, stitching, neurographical art, zentangles, yoga, sound, mindfulness, and creative projects have become such important parts of my life. Not because they “fix” me.But because they help me slow down enough to breathe inside my own mind again. So many of us grew up hearing: “You’re too sensitive." “You’re overthinking.” “Stop taking things so personally.” So we learned to mask it. Hide it. Push through it. Pretend we were okay. Meanwhile internally, we were replaying conversations for hours. But maybe sensitivity was never the problem. Maybe some of us were simply wired to feel deeply, create deeply, love deeply, and experience the world in a different way. And honestly? I think that might just be my superpower. 💛

The instrument I’m playing here is called a Flow Chime. Flow Chimes are designed to create soft, cascading tones that are deeply calming to the body and mind. Unlike louder percussion instruments, their sound is gentle and fluid, which is why they are often used in sound healing, meditation, mindfulness practices, yoga, and nervous system regulation work. The tones and vibrations can help encourage the nervous system to shift out of stress mode (fight or flight) and into a more relaxed state known as rest and restore. This can support: • relaxation and stress relief • slowing busy thoughts • grounding and presence • emotional release • deeper meditation • improved sense of calm and safety in the body Many people notice that the sound feels almost like a “wave” moving through them. The flowing tones can help quiet the mind and create space for stillness, which is one of the reasons I love using them in my sound baths and circles. Sound works not only through what we hear, but also through vibration. Our bodies respond to rhythm, tone, and frequency in ways that can feel soothing, regulating, and restorative. The Flow Chime is one of those instruments that seems to invite the whole body to soften. 💛

Hey beautiful souls 💛 It’s been a little quieter in here the last few days as I’ve been busy finalising and launching my book, Finding My Way Back To Me – The Path to Authenticity Lots of behind-the-scenes learning, edits, and getting everything ready for Amazon. Thank you for your patience while I’ve been focused on getting it over the line. 💛 I am feeling very excited eeeek.

A gentle space to slow down, soften, and let your mind quieten through simple lines and colour. You don’t need to be artistic. You don’t need to get it right. Just a willingness to show up for yourself. You’ll find it in the 𝐂𝐥𝐚𝐬𝐬𝐫𝐨𝐨𝐦 𝐭𝐚𝐛 whenever you feel ready to begin 💛
