Empowered Through Rest, Breathe, Reflection On Loss, Open Call For Collaboration

Dearest Reader

Sending you some calming and balanced restful enveloped thoughts, visualizations and energies. This is a longer newsletter than usual but I felt the urge to spend time writing and sharing this month. As always if anything resonates, or you would like to share than please i'd love to hear, see them. Some of you have been asking about prints of my abstract painting work, they are available but please connect with with interest. I have not allocated time for putting them up on my website work as yet, but they will be there soon.

This month's insights interweave feelings about loss, reconnecting with the nervous system, and the way that rest is welcomed into your body and how it can truly empower your senses, body and mindset. Offerings and Call Out opportunities for collaborating in the wild and feeling at home within your body. Before I foot swift into this, i'd like to share with you, offerings and news.

Reiki is a gentle, safe and alternative form of natural energy work that activates and supports the body’s own natural ability to heal itself. The name Reiki originates from the Japanese words ‘Rei’ meaning ‘universal/spiritual wisdom’ and ‘ki/life/odic force’ meaning ‘energy .‘

Alongside your session, you will a receive along with a unique, personal and recorded guided audio visual that I intuitively share with you at the beginning of the Reiki session and a hand painted coloured token gift that holds meaning relating to your inner expression and energy centres.

August began with with an unexpectedly sudden decline of health and an eventual a lasting farewell to the most kind hearted, selfless and as I like to call him the 'Ghandi of dogs' , family Labrador, Archie. In his older years his whiskers had an adorable light reflecting greyness to them, almost like angel feathers. He was my yoga pal and a protective 4 legged floof cloak to adorn myself in when things got wobbly. He had this great ability of sensing and knowing everyones character and loved welcoming everyone along his walks, he had so many adventures , memories and I still feel his presence, I think our tortoise (which beautifully unexpectedly came into my mums & I life last year) may have channeled some of his exploring character now. Archie had been in my mums life for longer although, I have felt in the last couple of years of spending time with him, am so glad that we made time together and created special moments and growing bonds. I am at peace to know he is in peaceful sanctuary of his very own now.

We had to make a heart breaking decision of getting Archie put to a final restful slumber to whatever his afterlife and spirit will bring into this world. The emotion was mixture of calm and relief for him as I knew that he was no longer in any pain and he was having bundles of fun in the oceans above us and the energy that we can sense all around us. Arriving closely in with that was a massive undercurrent of sadness, tears and a throb of pain in my throat. I've been lucky enough to be brought up with animals /pets so the experience was not unfamiliar but the feeling of grief and how it affects your body is always a different experience. I'm feeling his loss, and allowing tears, emotion and thoughts and memories to flow and process in my body as I found that it triggered areas and unknown shifts that I did not expect it to move and surface within me. Like with everything in life, i'm learning how I engage and process this.

Moving, painting, sharing and listening to others and immersed in music and my rituals helped me release and process emotions, grief and create some explorations bodies of work. See below documented video movements on my gram:

Painterly Movements

A couple of weeks after this, I had an unwelcome visit from Covid, I was not prepared for the exhaustion breeze weeks before it and frankly the whirlwind it plays with the nervous system and the anxiety that oceans along with it. I work with children, adults and young people who have compromised immune systems so the worry when a virus enters your bod makes you that ever bit more aware of health and wellbeing and the care and compassion towards others. I’ve also recently made the decision (scares me, but I feel like its an aligning approach) to go completely freelance (I’m approaching it whilst I’m studying a TEFL and refocusing on my business, and my core values, missions, re-hauling my website, outlook on how I show up into the world). Along with this, amongst other life decisions and responsibilities, being ill, overwhelm took over my senses and that’s when imbalances resurfaced and a fuzziness opened up.

Since being rather run down with various things, I’ve altered my perspective on rest – having more of it does absolute wonders for your self and those around you and I found it an incredibly rewarding and empowering feeling when I allowed time for regular self reiki, 3 daily meditations , Oil inhalations and tea elixirs moment filled with Zengest, On Gaurd and Melaluca were my best friend forevers from doterra oils during the covid throws. I have tried different intentional breathing techniques and intentional belly and face massages with castor oils and Kansa massages. These have been kindly shared through yoga practise, and others and listening to my notions, nudges. More movement that aligns with my body (i'm still trying to figure the fluidity and work this one out, but being part of yoga classes supports this hugely) ,routines with intentional sleep and mindset. Usually this comes easily but I feel that there have been some blocks in myself and I have not maintained this for some times, so it was time to listen to my body more, share and learn from others. In the past during my London years, I saw rest as something just as sleep and exercise. There are so many different types of rest, these are afundamental need for everyone, it's empowering for every part of you, an outlet for dreams, cellular revitalisation, visualisations and co- creation to manifest. I BLOODY LOVE REST!

Over the end of August I have treated myself into allowing time for sharing moon ceremonies with others over the beautiful and rare blue moon that flooded our skies recently. Making intentions and plans for the future and being clear on the steps to create them into reality. With this work and shared experiences, my energy regained its power, and natural nurture, my metabolism seems to have changed. Re-caliberation is gently happening.

These are some of meditations I have been called to , I have also been focusing on working my Tuning Forks and opening throat, heart, and sacral chakras during self reiki. Profoundly effective in prolonging the energy vibrations and offering movements and cellular repair in the body.

Reading Quadrivium slowly at the moment and It has opened up many new connections, realisations that I have not made before- it covers the 4 classical liberal arts of number, geometry, music and cosmology. It's given me insight and deeper knowledge in how so many things above and beyond us are connected.

Creative Call Outs In The Wild

Opening space for collaboration in the wild, Devon and Dartmoor areas are mainly interest with stone circle energy activated sites and bodies of water. I'd love to invite those who are either interested, currently experimenting with their creativity, practise in painting, moving, music makings and interdisclipinary practises/ intuitive led creators and would like to feel more at home with their body and their creativity to come togethor and create with resonating open landscape, natural spaces.

This call out will be loosely inspired by creative emergence and what embodiment is and what it feels/ means for you and your practise. Offering spaces to share, learn, cocreate and for discovery and expression. I'll be posting more info on my IG account and in the next newsletter on this.

Please email: sarahtrotterart@gmail.com if you are interested.
