Get on and Shine with Holly Honeychurch

Wood

Day 4. It’s pretty hard to dance when you feel like you’ve got wooden shoulders. Ouch! So there was definitely more simple movements happening today rather than the usual me flying around like a bee high on nectar. I used the floor more and worked with gravity (that sounds cool heyπŸ˜„). I also explored the idea of completely forgetting about my pain by only focusing on good things and positive vibes. It kinda worked. I could definitely see how my mind can control the pain depending on how much energy I give it. Interesting stuff. Happy Saturday everyone. I’m enjoying a rhubarb cider now yum!

Constructive Rest

Today I’ve been helped by Constructive Rest. I’m feeling kinda tight and ouchy in my shoulderblades (Curaheat patches in place). So I needed to stop, everything, completely. For at least 15 minutes. Because I never actually do that…without a phone nearby. I never actually lie down and consciously relax every part of me. I’m glad I made the effort. Because it feels great! I feel so much softer, fuller, lighter, happier, calmer. Alleluia!! Even gonna do it again later too πŸ˜„ Was listening to Max Richter’s music ‘Sleep’ as I rested. It’s incredible. Thank you beautiful music, beautiful life, beautiful Simon for suggesting I lie down and look after myself today 😘

Shaking Out to Epic Beats

Day 3 of my own personal dance off challenge - a solid 2 ½ hours of dancing through a set from MarLo (incredibly epic beats and sounds, wow I need more of you!) and Estiva (thank you for dropping Rainbow in the middle of your set. Love it soooo much🀩) This dance showed me how much I can worry about things in life. Big, small, they all keep coming. Then I realised, I’m worrying a lot of the time without even registering it. And it doesn’t help. Anyone or anything. So I worked on shaking it all out because worrying makes my muscles tense. It felt amazing. To dance it out. All that existed was the melody, the beat and my body. No matter what I thought, my body was more powerful and brought me back to myself. I was traveling through space. Dancing with the stars. Sliding down rainbows, smiling my head off. And I had a cat for company too 😻 Now I’m stronger, more assertive and moving forward on steady legs. I wanted all my stuck stuff, aches, pains, emotional baggage to leave. When something that didn’t serve me came up I would dance harder and faster until I was shaking everything out! I was looking back to childhood situations where I could see different traumas entering my body and worries forming. So here was my chance to release it all. I shook it all out. Electronica makes me feel so uplifted and pumped. I’m going to take in a bit more of this magic each day. And that can only be a good thing. I already feel AMAZING πŸ˜„ if a little weary this evening. Happy Friday!!

Spider Magic

Omg I found ANOTHER big spider (this time green 😩) under my clothes this morn. I finally looked up what the Amerindian medicine cards had to say about having a spider totem. Create create create is the big thing, writing about my progress and changes in life so I can reflect on them and grow some more, be wary of entanglement in situations that aren’t serving me. I learnt my lessons. No more spiders pleeease πŸ€ͺ (except Lucas - he’s cool and cute and talks πŸ˜„)

30 Day Dance Challenge

Day 2 of the 30 day challenge. To dance every day for at least one hour. Today - Will Atkinson ASOT 900 (those bagpipes ❀️) and Cosmic Gate (yum of a set) πŸ₯° Danced my face off for hours tonight. Feeling core muscles I’ve never felt before going all the way up to my neck! And feeling grateful for my legs πŸ˜„ I’m trying to get the cats to dance with me to moderate success πŸ˜„ One of them sits on the speaker though 😻

He may be surley but when he asleep he’s awesome 😻

Leo sounds like an incoming helicopter when he purrs. He also weighs a ton and I’m finding it difficult to breathe πŸ˜„

A Dramatic Pause

One of those twice in a lifetime things happened to me tonight. I felt a tickling on my head and my hair floped over my face a bit so I shook it a little to move it out of my eyes. Ten minutes later I find a huge spider on my little finger. I had made it fall off my head and onto my body where it had slowly crawled onto my hand. Aaarrgghhh. I’d been walking around with it on me. To say I freaked out would be an understatement. There was some running, some shouting and some shivering. Spider was fine though πŸ˜„

I Am So High

Happy dance face. I am so high in this photo πŸ₯³ Last night I had an incredible dance in my new house-sit. With epic speakers and awesome uplifting banging beats (thanks Armin) I learned some more about myself. I delved deep, barely remembering where I travelled to but feeling like I integrated everything that was wise and clear. It’s therapy for me. I go to places long forgotten. My mind slows down and I can see things illuminated. I find the clearest path out of my problems and challenges. Then I fly. One big lesson from last night was this - try to always see things through the eyes of a child ie without judgement and with lots of enthusiasm.

Sometimes actually getting started is the hardest thing #procrastinationcentral
