Menopause is famous for the overwhelmed, angry, raging woman — suddenly speaking up, wanting to fight, abandoning and questioning structures that used to feel so bearable before.

No one likes that, right?

Who's Really Behind the "Care" Industry - And What Menopause Is Really Asking of You?

My friend, who symbolically represents success in life, asked if I was ready to go and if my tights were okay after all the struggle of putting them on inside the tent. I told her confidently — yes. But then I noticed a tear near my ankle, and my legs were hairy and unshaved.

That moment again, when the universe pulls a soft carpet from under my feet, then a floor and then the ground, and now I am falling into a black hole. Just a free fall, in the dark, with no idea when or how it will end, and it feels infinite...

The story isn't about foraging. It's about the relationship to Land / Country. It started small. A dog walk, a patch of exposed (maybe clay?) bits by the track, and a simple curiosity: could this become pigment for my art, or something made by hand?

And the single most important shift: Stop MEASURING yourself against a system that was never built for you.

KNOW YOUR FISH. FIND YOUR WATER.

Practising embodiment for 6 days in my MIECAT studies of the Master of Therapeutic Arts has brought me so many "wow" moments. I was getting “high” by returning to my BODY, SENSING and TRUSTING that it is enough to let these senses guide you. No thinking required.

Western concepts of the five senses - sight, sound, smell, touch and taste are therefore elements that contribute to only a portion of the human sensory experience, whilst deeper perceptual insights (oolgna and ngara) enable us to feel, respond, connect and adapt to the environment.

And then all the noise fades. The problems, the plans, the need to prove or fix anything - it is gone. On that scale, nothing really matters. And somehow, that’s the most peaceful feeling there is.

In psychology, Puella doesn’t mean a young girl in real life. It means a certain way of being inside - a symbolic pattern in the human psyche. The term Puella comes from Latin and evokes the “young feminine on the brink of becoming… at a crossroads.”

Familly constellations. What exluded or remains ungrieved finds expression in the body, behaviour, or fate of descendants, until someone sees it.

When was the last time you climbed up on a stone or pressed your palms or body against it for no logical reason at all, just because it called you?

Why we sometimes choose to cling to suffering?

I was in a tsunami disaster, but I remembered I had already dreamed, relived or predicted this. It was a dream remembering another dream. I felt like I was recreating my own movie, Inception, inside the dream.

You are only free when you realise you belong in no place - you belong every place - no place at all. The price is high. The reward is great.

Frames will probably always exist.
But if we become the ones who shape them, not the other way around, we feel free within ourselves and the frames.
