Welcome to 2021!
I don’t know about you but my inbox and social media field have been filled with people saying good riddance to 2020. Initially I was in agreement, but it got me thinking. I often try to discourage myself and others from wishing time away or wishing things hadn’t happened and it’s not just because it’s a pointless exercise but actually it’s because we learn from everything that happens in our life – especially the difficult times.
So, I ask you to look back and find the positives from last year rather than focusing on the hardships. For me it was a year of spending time outdoors – in the garden and long walks. A year of strengthening relationships and friendships. I studied, I baked, I picked up an old craft project, I spoke to my family a lot more and I found new ways to work. I’m immensely grateful to all of you who supported me and my business and who, in turn, I was able to support through the last year too.
We obviously can’t ignore the challenges, that would just be naïve, but we can look at them in terms of what we have or can possibly learn from them. Whether this is in terms of work, health, grief, relationships, finances or any other challenge that presented itself to you in the last year.
Reflect
January, mid-winter, the new year it’s always a time of reflection – so think about what you have learned from last year or even the last national lockdown and see what you can do better or just differently this time round. Finish the course you started last time, or the craft project. Plan your garden for this year. Increase or start your meditation or other spiritual practice as well as some exercise. Schedule time to talk or video-call with friends into your diary.
And most importantly keep hold of the light. Whether that’s the light at the end of the tunnel, the light of the new Age of Aquarius or the light of your own faith, bring it inside you each day and let it grow and brighten your whole being. Because the brighter you let it shine the easier you, as an individual, will get through the next few months.

Unfortunately, the national lockdown means that I am not able to do hands on treatments for the foreseeable future but I can do Distance Reiki and our meditation circle is going from strength to strength. Look out for my new plans and ideas over the next few weeks, starting with bespoke aromatherapy which will be wonderful for helping to boost mental health as well as skin, muscle and digestive issues.
I’d love to hear what you’re all up to too, so please drop me an email, message me through Facebook or Instagram (@medullaspace) or comment on my posts. I’m missing our conversations so contact from you is more important than ever to me at the moment.
As ever – keep safe and keep strong.
In love and light
