Friends,
I’ve been reflecting recently on the power of words and how a simple change of phrase can completely alter your understanding of a concept.
For the longest time, I’ve heard the advice that you should do the things that energise you. That you should curate a life where you cut out the activities and relationships that deplete you and focus on the ones that leave you feeling energised.
By doing so, you’ll find within yourself with even more energy, so that you can expand and grow.
Wonderful.
Except I’ve never really felt ‘energised’.
I don’t really know what that means 🙊
It’s rare for me to experience a rush of energy (uncaffeinated of course).
But then I made the switch to a different word: nourished.
Now that resonates with me!
I know when I speak with special friends, I feel nourished.
I know that when I walk in nature, I feel nourished.
I know that when I wake up early, I feel nourished (I NEVER feel energised doing this though 😂)
That’s why it’s so important to find a vocabulary that works for you.
Maybe you don’t feel energised or nourished but you feel focused or sparky.
You can tune into your own body and sense which words resonate (quite literally with a felt sense of 'YES! That’s it.').
I’ve found this to be true with other concepts too.
Letting go.
How do I do that!?
Hmmmm but I CAN ‘let be’.
Acceptance.
Um, no thanks.
But I can find agreement with what is.
We all have such a different inner experience and words are such a rudimentary tool for pointing towards what is.
Explore this idea and you may find that certain concepts remained elusive because they were spoken to you in the wrong way.

New News
Dan and I have been so thrilled at how much you're loving the events at The Heart Space.
I think you can agree that something magical is in the making.
We’ve heard several times that you can’t believe the transformation you’ve experienced and how much value you’ve received ❤️🔥
As you may know, we’ve been running our events at $10 across the board. But as we grow and envision a long-term future for The Heart Space, we need to move to a more sustainable model.
We really want to keep running The Heart Space after the 3-month trial period and to do so we need to adjust our value structure.
Going forward, we will offer tiered admission so that those of us with more can share, and those of us who need some support can receive it.
For most events that will look like the following:
$20 for standard admission
$10 for those with limited resources
$30 to support others and pay it forward
There’s also the option to add a cup of ceremonial cacao for an extra $10 (with bonus heart-centered goodness).
As a thank you for your continued support, we’re introducing a loyalty scheme: “Your Fifth Event is Free!”.
We’ll keep a note of your attendance and after four events you can drop into your next one on us 😊
And don’t forget our referral scheme: Bring Someone New, Half Price for Them and You ✨
