Get on and Shine with Holly Honeychurch

No catto can resist the purple ribbon of power.

Meet Bagheera.

So weird. Shopping in a church.

After a month in the countryside, it’s great to be back in the hustle and bustle of life. This morning I had coffee and croissants in the Little Pickle Deli, Bournemouth. Smiley people, fresh feel, vintage style. Cappuccino was strong! Happy to be back in the whizzy funky vibe.

Last morning with this little bubble. You can see how concerned she is about this.

We’re moving out tomorrow. I packed our whole life into a van today and made the house sparkly clean. It’s a busy day for a housesitter.

I got the urge to dance in the fresh new space left behind. So I did.

Hard and fast.

It was epic.

During the dance I discovered new things about my legs. I felt my heels connect with the ground more. My feet were flatter as they sank down into the floor. Sensations, like happy relaxed muscle spasms buzzed up my legs into my groin and hip area where they settled. I stretched my groin and pelvis outwards which opened up my whole torso. I immediately became taller and more elegant. I did this small movement of pushing my pelvis forwards over and over in time with the music. It felt right. My body felt peaceful and settled in itself as I did it. It was powerful. My lumber region sang with relief and lightness. There was more space down there all of a sudden. Everything opened up and my body felt blissful.

All the while this was going on, I was listening to a beautiful hard trance set on my new wireless headphones. 😃

The way to self-discovery is so different for each person isn’t it?

This is my way. My solace.

Dance and CBD are my solace. These two elements combined give my body such passion and power. It’s like an alchemy for my muscles. It makes them calm and more responsive. I can find it hard to feel much in my legs so the CBD gives me a reference point for my body to start working from. It brings a kind of heaviness to my muscles and from there I can sense them and challenge them through the dance music I love. I’m so grateful to have discovered this plant medicine. It helps my longevity and happy sense of well-being.

Tonight Gareth Emery took me on a high energy musical journey. Some melodic memories with a fresh new sound. I even clapped without being asked 😉 now how about that?

Find what you love to do and keep doing it.

DJ’s can be so bossy. Put your hands up, everybody get down, jeees give us a break, we’ll put our hands up when we want to ok! 😁 The music sells itself right? I love it all anyway but two of my favourite, most humble of DJs and their sets are Alex M.O.R.P.H. and Ferry Corsten. Such power through their gradual builds and mind expanding melodies. Super vibrant music and dignified performances at the same time. 🎶.

Today I’m listening to an awesome soundtrack. Tomorrowland is a dance music festival like no other. And four stages are live-streamed. A chance to shake your booty round the kitchen. Let’s get pumped. Check out the line-up. Beats for everyone.🎶

I love this Corncatto

Two powerful films of reflection and sensation. Colette and Green Book.

Little cloud of sleepy fluffy puff.

I saw so much beauty this evening at Durdle Door, Dorset. Epic swim too in a sea which felt more wild and unhinged with a strong exciting power that made my adrenaline buzz.

Shoulders are beautiful. When I use them, dance with them, they make me light and strong. They physically lift me up. I appreciate them. I like to engage and challenge them. Swimming has been amazing for this. They’re happy and awesome right now.

I’ve noticed that my emotions affect how they feel. When I’m anxious or having a stressful thought, the exact moment the worry comes, my shoulders tense and give me pain. The sinews move and the muscles shift in the wrong way. Clenching with fear. My shoulders are my emotional compass. My warning sign. And I think, if they’re painful, what other parts of my body are being affected by my worries? What other tricks are my emotions playing on me? And what can I do to stop them freaking me out?

I shake. I stomp. I say NO! I dance hard and fast. It truly is a battle of wills. I flow and move and make sure that my mind understands who’s in control. It’s my spirit. My soul. My light. I guide myself back to balance through the movement of my body. Through music and dance. Where thoughts are forgotten and emotions pacified. They’re beacons of light and my body is the conduit.

Love is all I know
Love is all I am
Love is all we are
Love is everything

Secret Smile Song by Technimatic, Lucy Kitchen

I’m feeling, flowing, dancing, moving. Seeing the best bits in my thoughts and actions and continuing flying along this path with love. Let’s get uplifted. 🎶

Love this girl’s sass so much.

Rainbow food.

That moment when you’re back from a late night swim and hanging out the towels with an electrical storm raging politely overhead.

Bournemouth seafront and the elusive cuddly toy (which happens to be a sparkly dog unicorn).

A wistful morn.

Shiny sea swim smiles.

Just about my most favourite thing to do in the whole wide world. Got my fins, paddles and a new pair of first class goggles. I was zooming like a mermaid. Thank you universe!

Here’s a new recording I’ve just finished from the Maleficent Soundtrack. A Lana Del Ray cover of Once Upon A Dream. I was going for dreaminess. 😇🎶😇

Finally I recorded this Radiohead cover song. It’s been swirling around my head for ages. Just me and my harp. Improvising. Exit Music - Radiohead 🎶
