In the middle of the night last night, with an immediate force, I sat up in my bed. I was breathing heavily and covered in sweat. I just experienced one of the scariest dreams I’ve ever experienced. I can’t remember much about it, but I can remember that it felt like it went on for
Very recently I hit the 6 month anti-depressant medication free mark. I am really proud of myself. I know I am finally free. I also know that with the help of a therapist that works with ‘Holotropic Breathing’ and many other supports, I have become A LOT more in tune with my body. I’ve always
Wouldn’t it be cool to start tracking all of the Sweet Moments that happen during your day or week? …And by ‘Sweet’, I mean the Kiwi term ‘Sweeeeeet’. I grew up in New Zealand and I use sweet often in my every day vocab. You can also hear me saying ‘sweet as’ and ‘sweet as

It’s currently winter here in Ireland. Today I’m in Kinsale, a picturesque little town on the southern coast of Ireland, in County Cork and it’s a fresh, sunny, bright afternoon. This may change in the next hour, as the weather here can be very unpredictable and forever changeable… However for now as I sip my
I’m about to embark on another trip down to West Cork in Ireland for the next 2 weeks. Tonight I’ll meet with a good friend in Cork, have dinner, catch up, go to a special yoga class (Tsa Lung – mostly sitting down using the holding of breath technique), and have a mediation sit with
Last year in February 2018 when I came back from my 4 month trip, I felt incredibly lonely. Previous to this trip I had come out of a 3 and a half year relationship and finished a college course. I had spent a lot of time focusing on my relationship and studies. Although I knew
