There is an ancient understanding that each snowflake contains a piece of the dream of humanity.....
We had a few beautiful snow flurries here this morning, which got me thinking about the story that snowflakes are formed perfectly and often uniquely, and fall to the earth with a message about the 'life dreams' of the people. These flakes come together forming a blanket over the ground, a white robe over Grandmother Earth. This robe brings starkness and clarity and much beauty to the landscape.  When the snow melts the dreams flow into the rivers, streams and groundwater, to be accessed any human who 'plugs in' to the possibilities. There is a wonderful acupuncture point in the V of the ball of the foot called bubbling spring. This is the start of the kidney meridian (a water element meridian that holds our vitality and spark, and also links to our soul's purpose).  It's a great point to 'plug in' with- imagine the bubbling spring water coming up from the depths, through the base of your feet and up into your whole being, carrying the dream pieces that are yours to be had, that came down in the form of snowflakes.  Enjoy the whiteness for now, as the green of spring is really beginning to stir.

We are in water element season. As I sit with some difficult emotions today I remember the quote from Isak Dinesen ""THE CURE FOR ANYTHING IS SALTWATER, SWEAT, TEARS OR THE SEA"". The water element holds indeed our emotions. One of my medicine names is 'her with the wet eyes'. Tears of joy, of laughter, wracking sobs of despair, grief and injustice. Tears that show I have been deeply moved, tears of relief and fear when holding my Grandaughter for the first time out of her incubator. Tears of transition with and for my son's when life changes for them. Tears of regret, of longing. And ultimately tears of healing, of release and of will to continue to love this wonderful life, tears of gratitude for all of the miriad of emotions creating tears. Wishing you a day of good emotions. Sarah-Jayne

Working yesterday with a client whose stomach meridian energy was in alarm... 2 arm muscle testing the statement 'I am content' switched off. We worked with accupressure holding points that calm the stomach energy down, brought it into balance and out if it's alarmed state. Retested 'I am content' and the muscle test held... #lovemyjob

Transitions....the realm of the earth element in the five elements. Where we step away from one thing but are not quite fully in the other (think moving from one season to the other, one phase of life to the other). I took this photo walking back from the youngest's transition day at secondary school. Two key workers there to support him, a hug from one of them to support me. Felt like i was feeding him into the mouth of a humungous machine. And although we are in town we walk up a steep muddy (earth) path past cows and horses and hedgerows. Transition for him (and me) is taking a high level of holding, support and nurture (all earth element associations) due to his non neurotypical make-up. Worry and anxiety come from earth being out of balance in the law of the five elements. Both my son and myself clocked how relaxed we both felt being surrounded by trees and birds on the way to "'the new beast'. It will be good medicine in the coming months. Love to all in these days of transition, Sarah-Jayne 🌎 🌎 🌎
