You know I said that this um podcast is gonna be raw and unedited. Here I am recording this from my bed at 2.30 pm on a Saturday afternoon and the wisdom that I wanted to bring to you today is all about surrendering to your body. How can you surrender to your body and really let it speak to you about what it needs moment by moment? So I have a weekend unusual for me, a weekend free of of everyone and everything, no plans whatsoever, apart from dropping my daughter off and picking her up from somewhere, and I could do all of the things and I've reached out to a few people and thought about I might have a massage or I might meet a friend for a walk and and for whatever reason everyone's busy or they've got things booked up and I was kind of like just putting the feelers out there and but everything in my being everything in me is just so tired. It's been quite a quite a few um months for me and I've been quiet on here because sometimes there's not really any words to really say. I'm very inward, still very inward, even though it's spring in the UK and the daffodils are popping up and there's lots of life happening around me in my little cocoon. I'm feeling quite quiet and I'm still working with clients as they come my way and doing sort of very intimate work with people, and I've been involved in some amazing things like last weekend. I was doing a naked catwalk for um women's empowerment. Really, we painted each other, we walked and celebrated being women, and that was pretty profound and very um very, very empowering, really empowering to do that on a Sunday. It was just so good, and I'm navigating some tricky stuff with my family at the moment, being a mumma, which you know it's it's the hardest job, and I think I spoke about this before. It's the hardest job I've ever done, yet the most rewarding in so many ways, too. So I feel very blessed to be a mum, and yeah, I'm just moving a lot in my body right now. I'm I'm learning a lot, moving a lot, embodying a lot, upgrading in so many ways. I mean, like literally last year we sold our house and put it into storage, and now we're in a rental. Life I thought would be quite simple. You know, we don't have many of our things around us, but of course, when you create space, new things arrive in your world, and I've got lots of new exciting things arriving in my world which I'm paying very close attention to. I'm transmuting energy, I'm working with lots of different energies, and it's tiring and exciting and enlightening and all of the things, and the word surrender just keeps coming through to me as this is what it's all about. Can I create space so I can surrender into what is into what is meant to be? And so the question I'm I'm putting your way today is how much are you surrendering into your being? Are you creating space for magic to come your way? Are you creating space for you to feel? For you to feel the essence of life, for you to connect to mother nature, for you to drop into what is needed or desired or yearned for within your own body, within your spirit, within your mind, within you. And I feel like it's a journey to get to that place. So, like, know that I've not been there all the time, like the old Kerry would have had many, many plans this weekend. I would have tied myself up in the big knot, and there would have been no time to breathe. Yet I'm quite happy in my own little world now, and I'm not on my own. There's many beings that I'm in touch with in the spiritual realm, and many um many things that I'm connected to, the things that I'm studying and reading, and I don't ever feel alone anymore because I feel so connected, and I had all these ideas. I thought, oh, I could go to the beach today, I could go to the gym, I could go to the sauna, I could do XYZ, blah blah blah. Some friends have invited me to different things, and I and I felt into them and and everything in me is saying no because I just I don't really want to be around people. And so I'm sitting here recording this podcast on my phone, hoping that the sound's gonna be okay. Um because I I really wanted to I really wanted to say something because I feel like I've not been in touch, I've not shared anything for some time, and in this moment, this is my transmission, is this peace around being, surrendering, creating space, allowing magic, allowing expansion, allowing contraction, allowing feelings, and the more we can drop into stillness, beingness, silence, spaciousness, the more everything that we are is given more permission to be in whatever way it chooses. So as I lay here now, I can hear the ducks quacking outside, I can see the bright blue sky that's like come out and play. And I've already been out there sitting there watching ducks flying around and sitting in the sun, it was gorgeous, and then I was like, I need to go to sleep, so I went to sleep. So I'm yeah, I'm in a I'm in a funny old place today, but I'm enjoying it, I'm enjoying the fact that I've got all the ideas and all the plans and all the things that I could do, but yeah, I don't want to do anything. So if you are someone that maybe needs that permission to take a moment and to really listen to what you are being called to do or what your body is yearning for, like I never realised I was so tired, and I got to like 11 o'clock and I was so tired I thought, how did it how would it feel to snuggle up under my duvane right now and go to sleep and not set an alarm, just sleep till I wake up, and that's what I did, and then I've woke up, I'm still feeling quite sleepy. I've voice noted a few of my friends in my very sleepy voice, and now I'm I'm don't know what I'm gonna do next, actually. It's a blank canvas. I thought, oh, I could pop here or I could pop there. I've reached out to a few people, some of them are yeah, you could, some of them's like no, I'm busy, and I'm like, I've just got all the options, and that just feels really enriching and full of life, and wow, what a time to be alive. What a time to be alive, my darlings, and there is so much happening in this world right now, there is so much moving, so so much, and this is why this spaciousness, this time to be, this time to be present is even more important, more vital actually, for your sanity, but also for your connection to self. So I've come off Instagram, I've not really been engaged with Facebook and for probably about four weeks now, and oh, it's feeling good. Oh my gosh, that part of me is missing some of my friends. There's a few of my friends who are traveling at the moment, and I'm kind of missing their updates, and I've just reached out to on WhatsApp. I'm like, tell me your updates, send me a couple of messages here, so I feel like I'm connected to your frequency. But I'm choosing, right? I'm choosing to be in touch with the people I want to be in touch with, and I'm not being bombarded with the noise, and most importantly, I'm not being bombard bombarded with the fear, the fear narrative that is so strong out there at the moment. So just jumping in here today with this very clear, very maybe not concise, but very clear message and very big, big, big invitation for you to really take a moment, maybe just after you listen to this, and just ask yourself, what do I what do I need right now? What does being and spaciousness feel like in my body right now? Is it something that I'm open to? Is it something that I my body would love or does it just feel not available to me right now? And it's okay wherever you fall within that because wherever you are is perfect, right? It doesn't really matter. But just having that awareness of where you are right now in this moment is all you need. So, my loves, I bid you farewell. I send you so much love from my heart, from my part of the world to yours. And uh I hope this finds you well, and a little hello from me.
