Myo My Massage Therapy

In case of an existential crisis 👉🏻

✨ You don’t have to be “spiritual” to use the Lion’s Gate Portal as a reason to reset. ✨
Whether you believe in portals, energy and the universe… or you think it all sounds a bit woo-woo, why not use this time of year as an opportunity to pause and take a good look at what you’re carrying?
The Lion’s Gate Portal is often associated with 8/8, and traditionally viewed as a powerful time for reflection, release and intention setting.
But you don’t have to believe in any of that to benefit from the ritual.
Because sometimes we just need a bloody good clear-out. 😂
Ask yourself:
✨ What s**t am I holding onto that I’ve outgrown?
✨ What thoughts, beliefs or behaviours are no longer serving me?
✨ What am I ready to stop giving my energy to?
✨ What do I actually want more of in my life?
✨ And who would I be if I stopped letting my past dictate my future?
Write it down. Get it out of your head and onto paper.
Then tear it up, burn it safely, bin it or whatever feels meaningful to you.
And once you’ve created some space… fill it intentionally.
More peace.
More confidence.
More self-belief.
More joy.
More adventure.
More YOU. ❤️
You don’t need to believe in magic to create change.
Sometimes a ritual simply gives your brain a moment to stop, reflect, let go and choose again.
So if the Lion’s Gate Portal gives you a reason to do that today…
Use it. 🦁✨
What are you ready to leave behind and what are you making space for?

#88

For years, I was convinced something serious had to be wrong with me.
I experienced symptoms that felt so real and so frightening. I had blood tests, CT scans, MRI scans, appointments, medications with unpleasant side effects, endless trial and error... and so few answers.
First and foremost, please always get persistent or concerning symptoms checked by a medical professional. Never ignore symptoms or assume they are "just stress." Your health deserves to be taken seriously.
But if you've been thoroughly investigated and keep hearing, "Everything looks normal," yet your body is still screaming for help... I want you to know there may be another piece of the puzzle.
For me, it was my nervous system.
I had spent so long living in survival mode that my body no longer recognised what safety felt like. My nervous system was constantly scanning for danger, and my body expressed that through physical symptoms.
When I finally understood what was happening and learnt how to teach my nervous system that it was safe again, everything began to change.
My symptoms didn't disappear overnight, but they gradually melted away as my body stopped living in fight or flight.
That experience changed my life, and it's one of the reasons I became a clinical hypnotherapist.
Now I have the privilege of helping others understand that they aren't "making it up," they aren't weak, and they certainly aren't broken. Sometimes the body is simply doing exactly what it was designed to do: protect us.
Healing isn't about forcing yourself to relax. It's about gently teaching your mind and body that the danger has passed.
If this resonates with you, I hope these slides help you feel seen, understood and hopeful. Recovery is possible. I know because I've lived it. 💛
Have you ever been told, "There's nothing medically wrong," but you still didn't feel like yourself?
Comment “SAFE” and I’ll send you my free nervous system assessment. It’s a simple form which will help you understand what might be going on and help you take the first steps to feeling safe and well within yourself again.

For one person, balance might be chasing big dreams.
For another, it might be finally saying no without guilt.
It might be taking the holiday.
Or staying home.
Running a marathon.
Or allowing yourself to rest.
Building a business.
Or switching your phone off to be present with your family.
Today, balance looked like this... wobbling on one leg, smiling, breathing, and definitely not holding the pose perfectly.
And maybe that's the point.
Balance isn't a destination where everything is neat, equal and effortless. It's a continual dance of adjusting, responding and beginning again.
There is no universal definition of a balanced life.
There is only the life that feels aligned with you.
So don't compare your balance to someone else's highlight reel.
Instead, ask yourself...
What do I need more of?
And equally importantly...
What do I need less of?
Because true balance isn't about getting everything right.
It's about creating a life that feels peaceful, meaningful and authentic to you.
And sometimes... that includes wobbling. 🤍

Some days you’re a majestic eagle soaring effortlessly through life.
Other days you’re a slightly confused pigeon yelling at a crisp packet.
Both are valid.
If today feels messy, remember:
* You’re allowed to have an off day without deciding it’s an off life.
* Your brain is a dramatic little storyteller. It deserves an Oscar, not your unquestioning belief.
* You have survived 100% of the days you were absolutely convinced you wouldn’t cope with.
So drink some water. Stretch your legs. Do one tiny thing your future self will quietly appreciate.
You don’t need to have your entire life figured out before lunch. Frankly, anyone who says they do is either lying or has a suspicious amount of colour-coded spreadsheets.
Keep going. The plot twist you’re waiting for can’t happen if you leave halfway through the chapter.
Now crack on and confuse your past self by refusing to give up today. 💪🏻
Love from me. 💛
