Sometimes life just goes so easy, everything falls into place\u00a0<\/strong>and feels like it\u2019s just meant to be.<\/h3>\n

\"moving<\/p>\n

What’s Calling You?<\/h3>\n

That\u2019s how it was when I first came up with the idea of MFML and started the process of starting the business. And if it hadn\u2019t fallen into place, I know it would\u2019ve felt too hard and who knows what you or I would be doing right now! But it was my dharma\u00a0<\/strong>to start it, and it had to be easy for me to get the ball rolling.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Not All Plain Sailing<\/h3>\n

Of course, in the months and years that have followed, I\u2019ve been through some tough times personally and with my own little business, as we\u2019ve grown, we\u2019ve been through inevitable growing pains. Nothing more than is right for personal growth<\/strong>, of course, and lessons have been learnt \u2013 as they are in life.<\/p>\n

Finding The Balance<\/h3>\n

But when life is out of sync, when everything feels tricky, as it does, to be honest, for me right now, it\u2019s so hard to get back into the groove. One thing that I know will help me get the balance\u00a0<\/strong>back in life, and get my mojo back, is learning from nature that I need to find the balance in my life.<\/p>\n

Five Elements<\/h3>\n

(1) Earth<\/h3>\n

How to regain that balance? Well I\u2019m taking a leaf from the\u00a0five elements\u00a0<\/strong>found in nature. I know that I need more grounding\u00a0<\/strong>\u2013 I need the\u00a0earth\u00a0<\/strong>element. I need to root down. I need standing poses for that and a focus on the base chakras. I need to move into my new home (I\u2019ve been renovating my home for ages and definitely need a base!!)<\/p>\n

(2) Water<\/h3>\n

And then I need more\u00a0water<\/strong>, I need to find more flexibility<\/strong>, more motion<\/strong>, to be happier with the ebbs and flows of life \u00a0and harness the beautiful ability to flow. I feel stagnant right now, and the flow is calling me. I shall do some vinyasa\u00a0<\/strong>practices and visualise the fluidity in my joints to call in water.<\/p>\n

(3) Ether<\/h3>\n

I also need\u00a0space<\/strong>, physical and mental. I\u2019m currently feeling constricted, and with space, I\u2019ll feel freedom and more creative. Space is the beautiful formless void, that which is timeless, and from which we can feel whole again. Yes, space is certainly what I crave.<\/p>\n

(4) Air<\/h3>\n

Personally, I feel I\u2019ve had a lot of air element <\/strong>\u2013 there\u2019s been a lot of movement\u00a0<\/strong>and motion\u00a0<\/strong>in my life. It\u2019s the air that, for me is out of balance.<\/p>\n

(5) Fire<\/h3>\n

But I need to bring more fire\u00a0<\/strong>in! I need to fan the flames of transformation<\/strong>, of action, to get my inner strength and fire glowing.<\/p>\n

I recount this as a little <\/span>story\u00a0<\/strong>so you can see how I\u2019m using the five elements to work on my own life, <\/span>as it is right now on this day.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Brand New Series<\/h3>\n

Lucy has just filmed a beautiful new series<\/a><\/strong>, which is what so many of you were asking for \u2013 which goes through the five elements, so you know which elements you might need to harness\u00a0<\/strong>in your life and at which time.<\/p>\n

Just because right now I have air but need balance in the other elements does not mean that this will be the way even tomorrow. So it\u2019s a useful frame in which to understand our wants and needs in this life and to increase our understanding of ourselves in the world. Which element are you needing to harness more of?<\/p>\n

I do hope you check out Lucy\u2019s series\u00a0<\/a><\/strong>and do let me know how you get along in the Movers Group!<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

With love<\/span><\/p>\n
