“a lotus blossoms within deep rich muddy water into which she plunges her roots and draws great nourishment from this mud, growth happens, and great beauty is revealed. Your soul lotus thrives through the depth of emotion and awareness of your body into which she can plant herself and unfold as a lotus of light”. We are always learning if we are open to the flow of life experiences. The steps are presented to us, always reminding that we are here in the moment, the now. I believe that out flexibility in thinking and in behavior can become part of what makes us a powerful instrument to transform, take action and to grow in knowledge. First we must accept our role our responsibility in that the mud, if not we cannot open out and bloom. In my work with you I support you to untangle the various roots of life that restrict your growth. As you become and untangles you will enjoy life more as you grow and trust (yourself) increasing your wisdom self-love and acceptance. So no matter how much mud and water you are emersed in, like the lotus you can rise up and be open to the essence of life. I get it, your dealing with different levels of mud and water, foreign objects that are new to you and you may feel apprehensive, fearful of the unknown and a range of other emotions that may lead to unhelpful behaviour. My thirty plus years I have gained a deep understanding of human behaviour and emotions, I too have had experiences that put me in the mud, yet with support I found the sun that allowed me to rise and bloom in my full colour. So if your wanting to have your lotus flower bloom consider a discovery call with me and together lets test the depths of the mud around you, you will be safe and supported.

What is it to have done every aspect perfectly, to be perfect?1 Certainly in engineering perfection of the mechanics is essential but it doesn't always go fully to plan. One small item may break fall off and cause a catastrophic event. The human aspect to achieve perfection is not as straightforward. Many of those I work with strive for the perfect P Often the desire for perfection has derived from the early narrative they have heard repetitively. Don't hold your knife like that, do it like this. Sit up straight, no you can't help you will only make a mess. Surely you can get better grades than that put some effort into it. Oh look you haven't done that properly do it again look you missed this bit. Even worse one of my clients shared how their parent insisted on them entering craft competitions and when my client was asleep aged 8 years the parent would recreate the craft item so it was perfect while they slept. To wake to the item now recreated entered into the competition which would now win. The message being received can be interpreted as not good enough can't get it right feeling left out not up to standard and much much more. Our logical mind says no one is perfect yet our emotions say I am not doing it well enough I can't do anything right or I am not enough etc. Striving for the perfect P can result in inertia no action why have a go or try if I am not going to succeed. The ups and downs or the 5 stages of Learning make it too uncertain for some to embrace the journey hence they may miss out on going for the job made for them. Having a go at something new.

Picture this, one long thick strong rope. At one end, a group of humans that are focused, strong, and determined.
