‘This dark moon phase, I’m desiring more quiet time to feel into and integrate all of what has transpired this past moon cycle. This last moon cycle felt heavy for me.. a month of interesting inner reflection. Some of it due to political tensions on the planet right now.. I have really been feeling into how I want to refine my message with The Holistic Branch, what my business will look like going forward, & feeling the urgent need to really step up & into a more visible space with what I do. This is a little daunting, I always put my health first & can be so prone to overworking when I get a bee in my bonet about something.. Rehashing my balance with work and self-care again as I follow my heart into this calling.. So Im letting go the thought pattern of being a 'workaholic if unchecked' more this dark moon. Im allowing myself to see that a new story for myself is emerging.. one where I trust myself more in that I feircely have my own back, which means I am so safe in my desire to 'step-up'. We are building a new world together & this truly starts with what we are building & aligning with for ourselves.. I love that we can all share with & inspire each other here on social media.’ This is an excerpt from my New Moon post in my fb group, The Holistic Branch Cauldron. Feel free to join if you want to be a part of the conversation & incredible community. What are you calling into your life right now? Much love, Sami Lou 💖

I’m angry, I’m sure you are too. One way to fight oppression is through self-education. I work with clients on monitoring fertility with the choice to conceive or not to conceive. The more you understand your body & cycle the more effective this is. There are also fabulous apps these days such as @daysyaus I also wholeheartedly recommend following the amazing @samanthazipporah & @sassylisalister for their dedicated & in-depth work when it comes to fertility, menstruation, choices & the Holistic, important magic of our body. Where we put our attention, time & money is a valuable form of protest, support, & activism. I shall always do my part in ensuring people have a better future (& today) with more freedom of choice & safety.

Yesterday I shared a post about how physical & emotional pain are interlinked, & that they are an invite into deeper healing. Part of the process of shifting that pain is to sit with it, feel it, & understand it. I know that this can be an uncomfortable thing for some people to hear, we have a lot of our identity wraped up in our pain, as well as comfortable patterning .. its a very layered conversation, but a necessary one. I want to thank everyone for hearing & understanding that message ❤ Today, I realised how that post flowed into the energy of this weekends full moon in Scorpio so beautifully! The full moon brings what is subconscious into the light, & Scorpio is an energy that loves to transmute pain into healing, wisdom, & powerful self-actualisation/ authenticity. Scorpio also loves the uncomfortable & 'taboo' conversations, not to cause a stir, but to better understand the psyche of humanity. On every full moon in my FB group, The Holistic Branch Cauldron, we share what is going on for us at this time in our life; to celebrate what is, & let go of what we no longer need. You can join us there if you like, by searching & sending a join request.. or I would love to hear in the comments below how this is resonating with you? Is the impending full moon feeling edgy, peaceful, fluttery, aggressive (insert other feel) already? Biggest love 💖🌹💖🦂🌕 📷: Myriam Zilles

::: Pain must be felt & walked through to heal ::: In our bodies infinite wisdom, it will help guide us into deeper emo & physical healing by presenting us with physical pain. Recently, I realised I needed to heal some old patterning, fear & stories around my hip replacements. Even though the surgery was done 18 years ago now, as I have mentioned many times before, our healing is cyclic, a spiral path. We unlock more gold from our experiences as we look back on things with the wisdom of age. I knew I needed to address this healing potential coming up, as my mind was wandering back to that time, analysing things, seeing things differently, realising a reactive pattern that I still had & needed to make peace with to let go. And bless my higher-self & my bodies cotton socks; it decided the best way for me to REALLY get on board with this (after I had already decided to) was to have a ‘little slip’ in the kitchen, where I almost did the splits (weird flex, guys, but ok, I’ll trust you & go with..) My left hip, which contains a lot of deep emotional trauma was most affected. True to form, the pain that resulted in this hip, definitely triggered my emotional responses & memories so clearly. It was uncomfortable; physically, emotionally & mentally.. but I know that we create our own opportunities to heal, to grow, to move forward into expansion. Looking at it all face on, addressing, assessing, repatterining & integration of the pain AND emotional reactions, is the way THROUGH to the other side of pain. Not to fear it, shrink from it & numb it out; although sometimes as we do the work, a break is needed. To move our body, to rest, to write, to talk, to breathe, to seek out bodywork therapy; we lean on many healing tools. There is also no coincidence that as I was walking through this, friends & clients of mine were coming to me with a similar ask from their body- to go deeper into understanding their pain for healing. This is how we heal as a collective. We hold space for our own healing, we ask for others to hold space with us (I have amazing souls in my life that support my healing space), (cont in comments) ❤️

My loves, We are deep in the transformative energy of autumn and spring (depending where you reside). If you’re feeling exhausted, overwhelmed, noticing old hurts/patterns/ outdated ways of thinking coming to the surface, you’re not alone! These seasons are the most potent energy-wise. The major shift that we observe in nature, as it pulls its energy deep into the earth to sleep for winter... or the ecstatic, bursting, awakening of spring.. is also observed and felt in our body and mind. It provides a wonderful opportunity for us to harness and sink into this energy for healing, creating, and reassessing our direction. Since this last full moon, I have felt very unfocused, almost like I’m adrift in a dream-like place whilst awake. Plenty of creative ideas & thoughts come to me just as quickly as they leave. A lot of past ‘stuff’ is floating up to the surface of my mind to be rehashed, seen again from an older and wiser perspective. Instead of being frustrated that I don’t have the energy or focus to write, create, or do much at all really.. I have decided to let go, SURRENDER and TRUST where I’m at; trust my body, my mind, that my higher-self knows what’s up.. so I’m taking lots of notes for my future self 😂 and as well as leaning on my healing practises, I’m resting, journaling, watching fun movies & finishing off Easter chocolate 😉 Highly potent energy from these seasons speak to us, and we owe it to ourselves to listen and give ourselves some space. This allows us to move forward with grace, ease, and all our components in check 😉 Where are you all at right now, my loves? Here is my blog post on how to nourish ourselves for autumn (you can also click my bio-link to go straight to my blog & also find ‘eating for spring’).. I hope you enjoy! https://theholisticbranch.com/2015/03/25/autumnal-eating-2/ All my love ❤️❤️❤️❤️ 📸 by Philluppus 🦋

Talking to a dear friend the other day, (whose also been working with me as a client this year) she made a comment along the lines of how easy it’s been for her to address some health issues & bring them into alignment. ‘Just drink some dirt, eat some mushrooms, & stew some plants.. it’s so simple!’.. I heartily agree.. it can be so simple for most of us! 🍄🌱 Green-washing & mass marketing for the big business of alternative ‘health’ supplements has over complicated what people now think they need... Instead, building a strong understanding of what works for your body, how it communicates with you, & how nature works with us, is a fantastic foundation for healing & maintaining wellbeing. 🌹 You can then build onto & work with this foundation, adapting as needed, or adding extra laser-focused care, with a Naturopath, GP, specialist doctor, therapy; anything that you individually require. Connection holistically, with our body, mind & emotions, is a gift that keeps on giving. 🦋 The message scrawled all over social media these days is that, regardless of your current wellbeing, you need a kitchen full of powders, shakes, ‘detox teas’, all the protein based everything, to slather yourself in highly potent essential oil everyday, & a keto/ raw-vegan/ paleo diet; ABOVE trusting in your bodies own ability to communicate how to BE WELL! 🔥 I say, don’t buy into the hype! Go back to natures basics, & then see what happens ;) 🌎🌱🍄🌕☀️🌊❤️
