Take a few minutes right now to drop into your inner resources and activate your energy.
“In this moment right now this love comes to rest in me.” Rumi
Root – Legs, feet, base of spine
Visualize red roots going downward into the earth connecting you into safety of the moment.
Belly – Visualize an orange whirlpool and let it spread through your whole body bringing energy and aliveness to your body!
Solar Plexus – Above the belly and below the sternum – visualize a yellow fire transforming any lethargy away and charging you!
Heart – Now spread the fire and take some big breaths expanding your fire and igniting your compassion!
Throat – Sing and increase the feeling tone in your body bringing more presence here and now. (5 open mouthed Ah’s)
3rd Eye – Between the eyes – Be a lighthouse beaming outwards from where you are looking out over yourbody of water creating safety and presence.
Crown of the head – Increase your consciousness and understanding of the moment and what is needed for you today.

Mind your tone! Watch your tone with me! You may or may not remember these words from your younger days? We can’t help the tone of our voice telling on us! The truth is inside the tone and not the actual words we are saying. It is our Living Word. Let’s see what’s...
We are like trees…
We are like trees… We are like trees. Twisting around life the best we can. Twisting, growing, bending and changing into the beautiful works of art that we are. She said, ‘but how do I untwist myself?’ She didn’t know she was twisted and closed off until she tried to...

Knowing when Enough is Enough – Simone Biles withdraws from the Olympics
Once every 4 years we all sit down and watch these super athletes do feats that are incredible and unimaginable. But for the rest of the time we don’t watch them, we don’t see them train and work hard and push past their own inner voices that are begging them to stop.
Reclaiming Our Natural Power
‘At first we must distinguish and then we unite’ - Goethe Singing requires us to separate the body parts to identify what the role is for each part. For example the throat, solar plexus, the rib cage and belly. What does each part do? How does it assist the voice to...
Overcoming Stage Fright
The walk to the stage… So you’ve worked really hard on your art whether that’s singing, dancing, acting or speaking. You’ve spent years developing, practicing and honing your talent and you want to share it with your audience. You’ve developed your voice and you...
Your Sacred Voice…the sound of being alive.
Facing the world and stating who you are is the act of singing.
Exercising My Will – The developmental stages of the will centre.
Can you exercise your will and state your side in an argument? Do you even know what your side is? I like to look at situations, and especially heated discussions, from ‘above the battlefield’ in order to try to understand both sides of the equation. This can...
The Ears act like Batteries for the Brain
