SKIPPING SCHOOL
/Hello! How has your week been? ๐๐
Thank you for your patience if you're a regular reader of my fortnightly emails. I'm back! ๐ Wow - my body took me into hibernation for the last three or more weeks - deeper into meditation, more time spent listening to inspiring podcasts, more periods of stillness, deeper self reflection/awareness and more time on my own. ๐๐ฑ๐ป
I didn't consciously realise this is what I needed until our son was unwell and emphatically told us that he needed space and to be on his own for some time. Not only did he create the space for himself but for us as well. ๐
I have to admit that being an ex teacher and my husband a teacher - it didn't feel easy to give Ethan the freedom to have more than 2.5 weeks off school! ๐คโจ๐ซ
Such a growth experience for us to let go and honour his journey and to break out of social norms. Moreso, I was inspired that he felt confident to ask for what he needed. It was such a great reminder that he is our evolution, the future and our children's voices matter. ๐ช๐ฅฐ๐ช
We all experienced our own retreat inside our home and I have no doubt that we have been able to hear our own inner voices even more clearly as a result. โฏโฎ๐๐งโโ๏ธ๐งโโ๏ธ
I thought I'd share something that my husband created for Ethan and I during this quiet, independent time over the last few weeks. ๐๐ฑ๐บ If the below experience is something you'd love to create use the Emotionally Happy Homesยฎ tool, 'Copy and Paste'. So you're essentially asking your body (your 50 trillion cells) to 'Copy and paste' it into your energetic field as well. ๐๐๐
So Lyell arrived home from school one afternoon, a few weeks ago and said to Ethan and I that he would love to give us a lemon foot bath at night. ๐๐ I think it's important to note here that to reflect this generosity and kindness from my partner, I have self generated it firstly in myself. I've had to embody the warmth, kindness and gentleness towards myself to create a vibration where this experience could find me - easily and effortlessly. โฏ๐๐
Lyell lit a candle, put on meditation music, dimmed the lights and filled two basins with warm water. โจโจ๐ซ He cut lemons, placed them in the water and squeezed the juice out of them. From there, we placed our feet into the water and towels were placed over our legs and basin to retain the warmth. The lemons naturally detox the body.
We were then given a shoulder massage and sat quietly for 10 minutes basking in the nourishment. The next step was the sacred practice of Lyell washing our feet with a washer and then drying them. Ethan loved it and said, 'Dad, this was just so lovely of you'. If you haven't created this yet... know that you absolutely can in your own unique way. ๐๐๐ Your growth benefits everyone! ๐๐๐

Please know that you are so welcome to email me back if you have any questions, feedback or if there is anything I can help you with. ๐ Here's to creating Emotionally Happy Homesยฎ from the inside out. ๐
Sending you all so much love,
Kirsten
