Paying Attention To Anger + Rage

Today’s episode has us circling back around to stillness. How now - more so than ever - we’re needing to find ways to reconnect to this felt sense within us. To carve out pockets for doing less instead of doing more, and what can come up in resistance to this.

Today’s episode has us exploring together the realms of anger and rage. We look at what prevents us from feeling these raw emotions, how they are actually here in service of us, and how to slowly begin connecting with them.

In today’s episode, we explore the importance of community and connection - weaving through themes of trust, of paying attention to our internal and external seasons, and of acknowledging what we’re needing moment to moment.

In today's episode, we explore the realm of the heart and how to practice returning to this deeply feminine space.  Together, we look at tangible ways to come back to the heart, with whatever it is you may be moving through.  Nurturing and tending to the heart can be a significant and powerful practice - and one in which if you've experienced a lot of heartbreak, can be a sensitive space.  Please keep this in mind as you traverse this terrain, and call on extra support if you're needing it.

In today's episode, what came to mind immediately as I began drinking Tea was the phrase 'being with what is'.  Tune in as we explore this together, reflect on what it means and how we can anchor more deeply into the present moment. The tea I'm drinking is the same as last week's - a light roast wild purple tea from Dehong, that can be purchased from Yunnan Sourcing.

In today's episode, I decide to open up about a part of what I've been moving through the past six weeks - and it's about returning home.  Join me as we drink Tea together, and as I share about how I landed on coming back to London and to England. The tea that I'm drinking is my guide tea - a light roast wild purple tea from Dehong (Western Yunnan) that you can buy at Yunnan Sourcing.

At the beginning of today's episode, the word 'softness' dropped into my mind.  This is what we'll be exploring together: what softness means, how it's already present in our lives, and how we can create room for more of it.  Let's drink Tea and consider what this word and theme means together. In this episode, I'm drinking a shou puerh from the 1980s - it's called Temple Beam and you can buy it from Global Tea Hut.

Today's episode has us focusing on the chaxi (tea stage) in Chinese tea ceremony.  An exploration of what it is, how I've been noticing it adapt and change in my own tea practice, and some of my thoughts and feelings around it. As always, I'm drinking Tea as I record this, and the one I'm working with in this episode is Buddha's Palm from Global Tea Hut.

Today's episode comes from the heart of my own process - imbibing the medicine of slowness, of stillness, of the Winter season that I find myself in both externally and internally. How comfortable do we feel with a slower pace of life? Why can it be so difficult to sit with the unknown? Tune in to hear my thoughts on the importance and wisdom in slowing down.

Today's episode has us exploring and being with our humanity, through the lens of nature and the seasons.  Just like the beings in the natural world have their own seasons, so do we as individuals as well.  If you feel the call, consider looking at and reflecting on which season you might be finding yourself in right now.
