Courage is not the towering oak that sees storms come and go. It is the fragile flower that opens in the snow.

- Alice Mackenzie Swain

Deep, huh? But what does it meeeeaaaaaaaaan you might ask?

Here's my take.

A large oak tree, strong, rooted and established witnesses the storms come and go but is not really affected by them. It is already established, and can withstand the weather.

But, a small flower, not as strong as the oak, blooming anyway even in the least optimal environment.... that is true courage.

To be brave or courageous isn't always obvious, or seen by others, or necessarily a big large action.

Sometimes, showing your vulnerability is the most bold thing you can do.

Sometimes, crying whilst you keep moving through the hard thing that you are doing in that moment. Showing or expressing truth. Being authentic even when you don't know if others will understand it.

These are the courageous acts of a deeply feeling, compassion led human.

I'd love to hear from you - what does courage mean to you?

Every day, the ones are are highly capable on the outside, but falling apart on the inside come through my practice. Here's what I've noticed and how I help them come home to themselves.

1. Patterns are there for a reason. The answer to moving through and beyond the ones that are 'taking us out' is more simple that you'd think. It has something to do with slowing down and rekindling a healthy relationship with your own body.

2. This can look like finding simple and life-friendly ways to rest with intention and restoratively.

3. It can look like learning how to send signals of safety to your body so it can begin to slow or turn off the alarm signals ringing through the nervous system.

4. Sometimes it means taking time and getting help so that you can revise the connections inside your brain and nervous system. Release part hurts, complete old emotional loops, and find healing insights in old wounds so they can be deactivated.

Healing can be simple. Follow along for more ways to connect and thrive, or grab my 3 WAYS TO STABILISE guide by dropping a comment below.

Had a brilliant conversation with marketing magician, Sacha Awwa some time ago now and finally got to editing it and sharing the full episode.

You can find it on the UNboxable Podcast in your favourite listening app.

I loved this highlight about how to decide when posting on socials isn't beneficial.

Does it resonate with you?

The word somatic simply means body-based, or body-first. Now that it is being used more and more, the meaning can be affected by it's popularity.

I hope that 'regulating', and 'embodying' remain more than words to talk about but are experienced - because that is the true power of somatic work. It can only be experienced to be fully known. Even then, it's entirely individual.

So my hope is that the conversation can stay real, and stay relevant for more and more people.

Would love to hear your thoughts on this in the comments.

If you 'd like a brief and experience-based guide, comment YES and I'll share it with you.

The Chariot.

We see the balance of black and white, guarding in submission before an ornate and lush throne. A sovereign figure standing in his power, vision set in the distance, holding a staff with a large golden crown on his head. Behind him a castle with turrets and a wall, sturdy and strong.

People sometimes fear the Tarot but at it's heart, it is simply a language of symbols to spur along your own intuitive signals.

The Chariot hints at our sovereignty, and our loyalty. Our riches, and our movement.

What do you see?
