You are holding on your back a big sack of bricks.

You are going to be putting that bag of bricks down. You’re used to it, it’s a familiar burden, you’re wondering what the hell you’ll do with your time and energy when it’s all gone.

So let’s just start brick by brick. Now at first it may feel like you’re dropping the lot at your feet, that’s the healing process essentially. You have to put them down (write them down) and see them as a mess in order to make something more structured and even beautiful from them.

Take that first guilty story brick and feel yourself placing it down in a sacred bit of Earth. You know it’s right as you see sunlight shining right at the perfect spot. As you gently place the brick down, Mother Nature reaches up, takes the brick and holds it firm. You see her clear the dirt off it, she holds it firmly and makes sure it’s now there to be covered with light from the sun. You see the brick sparkle, and breathe a sigh of relief as the energy clears from that memory.

This is the foundation stone for the most glorious summerhouse you can sit under, with tunnels so you can choose the direction to enter and exit. You feel the excitement of a child in a maze for the first time. There are no doors, it’s all open and this is your safe place.

You feel safe and happy here, because you know the light is all because of you. The structure is your story, it’s your past and it’s beautifully yours.

Wander through your new creation and as you do so you let your hands drift out to the side, your fingertips brushing some of those bricks lightly as you go, and you feel a sense of satisfaction. “hmmm” you say to yourself as you realise what you have created from all those experiences. You open your eyes again, noticing how some bricks looks lighter than the others and how some are smoother, whilst others are crumbled a little or darker. And you know that’s absolutely ok, because each thing you’ve been though has been entirely unique.

Each day I invite you to start with a grounding and breathing exercise. You may have one you use now, but if not then please watch the video, or read this as it will soon become second nature.

Get comfortable and as you relax, imagine that you have the most beautiful roots coming from your feet. They push down, through all the layers of the earth, past underground streams, through all rock and earth and down into a crystal chamber.

Your roots start to move towards a large, solid crystal and wrap right around it, anchoring on tightly. You feel the crystal hug your roots right back as it sends healing energy up through your roots, into your legs and all the way up your body and into your heart.

You feel such a sense of calm as a golden light starts to expand from your heart, reaching further and further out into the Universe, connecting you with ALL THAT IS. You pulsate the energy, feeling it like warm lemonade as it sparkles around you making you feel safe and loved.

You are safe. You are loved.

Bring that energy back into your heart centre and know that you are surrounded by the most amazing healing bubble of light. It’s a shield. it keeps all things you want to keep in, it lets all things you want to let go of out, and it keeps you safe at all times whilst doing this work.

Feel it then when you are ready, open your eyes and begin with your activity for today.
