Are you experiencing this pattern - make big New Year resolutions - break them in the first week - guided by shame and guilt - we revert back to even unhealthier habits than before. Sound familiar? Seems to defeat the purpose doesn’t it!
So why is it too easy to break our resolutions and should we apply a more positive approach?..
It came in cute like a little cheerleading group all springy with split leg leaps and pom poms - it morphed into a tsunami of deep emotions and rode through like a stallion on steroids..
Our Plant Potions #selflovechallenge! Did you do it? How did it go?
“Why do we celebrate LOVE only one day a year?”
Now, more than ever, love needs to be at the forefront of our planet. Too many people are struggling and we need to reconnect with our heartspace as a foundation for making decisions, progress and happiness.
I believe that on a functional level our minds have shaped our reality and how our self-worth is expressed. Many of us feel trapped. Of course, there are many deep layers to oppression but the tone of this sentiment is to highlight the human condition in its most simple form: we are light beings, literally composed of, from and into LOVE....
Rebirth: A period of new life, growth, or activity; a revival. (Oxford dictionary)
And then, it was quiet – inside and out.
Like millions of families around the globe, a hush fell over us in the shadow of Covid in March. The outer world faded and it was just me, my girls and my yoga mat. During the quietness of lockdown I gave myself permission to process and heal the emotions stemming from two abusive relationships. Being a dedicated solo mama to four beautiful girls, a committed yogi and yoga teacher and holding down a day job, I’d always just ‘got on’ with things but finally, I was listening to the real me and I liked it. In fact, I loved it. This was the biggest rebirthing sensation in my life so far.
A spontaneous rebirth
Deeply attracted and dedicated to ritual and shamanistic practice since childhood, it seemed like everything I had offered to others over the years for their growth – the yoga, chanting, beautiful product rituals, laughter, music and dance – came straight back to me in an almighty blast of unconditional love. I remembered that I was a source of unconditional love and I needed to give some of that love that I give back my way! Suddenly, the timing of everything made sense on a heart level. I knew it was time to step into a new path of life.
The Rebirth Range is born
What my personal rebirth meant for our beloved Plant Potions was taking a deep, loving look into the core of our offerings. With my heart and values empowered and working closely with a cosmetic scientist, we have developed new, full-bodied expressions of your favourite Plant Potions signature scents. We’ve also introduced fresh colours and new look to our simple and elegant style. Back to work!
‘Before enlightenment – wash dishes – after enlightenment – wash dishes’ Buddhist proverb
Of course, now I am mega-busy again but the motivation and energy inspired from my rebirth has made my existence lighter and brighter than ever. I have lovingly instilled strong boundaries and stellar standards in every area of my life.
I hope that our Rebirth Range can continue to create and maintain abundance for you, and to spread light and love around our beautiful planet.
Enjoy,
Love Lou xx
