Saturdays top tip for boosting your immunity naturally is simply HUMMING! My darling Nan used to hum to herself all the time whilst cooking or ironing as I remember growing up.Such great therapy… Bees buzz, cats purr, humans hum, and even the gentle rumble of a person’s voice can be soothing. There are some intriguing connections between these experiences, although we need to distinguish what science has demonstrated from what remains a promising theory. When you hum gently, several things happen simultaneously. You produce sound vibrations in your throat, mouth and nasal passages. You also regulate your breathing, engage the muscles involved in vocalisation and create vibrations that you can feel travelling through your face, skull and chest. These effects may help you move towards a calmer physiological state. A. Humming and the vagus nerve The vagus nerve is one of the principal nerves of the parasympathetic nervous system. It connects the brain with several organs, including the heart, lungs and digestive tract. It plays an important role in regulating functions such as heart rate, digestion and aspects of the body’s response to stress. Your autonomic nervous system has two major interacting branches: These systems are not simply an on-off switch. They work together to adjust your physiology according to what is happening around you. What happens when you hum? Gentle humming naturally encourages you to breathe out while producing a sustained sound. That matters because slow, controlled breathing can influence heart-rate variability and the interaction between breathing and heart rate. Heart-rate variability (HRV) describes the variation in time between successive heartbeats. Certain forms of slow breathing can increase HRV during practice, reflecting changes in the regulation of the cardiovascular system. Humming may therefore help through a combination of:
I am inviting a few lovely souls to the “Pines” here in person to celebrate the winter solstice. Saturday 12/12/26 12-5pm £12 The Sacred Rhythm of 12-12-12: A Shamanic Drum Circle for the Soul Honouring the cycles of life, the wisdom of the Earth and the approaching Winter Solstice. December invites us to turn inward. As the days grow shorter and the natural world becomes quieter, we are reminded that life moves in cycles. There is a time for growth and expansion, a time for gathering our wisdom, and a time for rest, reflection and renewal. This December, I am delighted to invite you to a special 12-12-12 Sacred Shamanic Drum Circle, taking place at 12 noon on Saturday 12 December 2026. Twelve people will gather in a circle, united through the rhythm of the drum and the intention to create a space for connection, reflection and renewal. The symbolism of twelve Throughout our lives, we encounter the number twelve in many familiar cycles: the twelve months of the year, the twelve hours on a clock face and the twelve signs of the Western zodiac. Within numerology and contemporary spiritual practice, twelve is often associated with wholeness, completion, harmony and the integration of different aspects of life. The date 12 December offers a beautiful symbolic opportunity to pause before the year draws to a close. By gathering at twelve noon with twelve participants, we create our own meaningful expression of this symbolism: a circle within which each individual contributes to the collective experience. This is not about needing to believe in a particular system of numbers. It is about using meaningful symbols to bring awareness, intention and purpose to the time we share. The healing rhythm of the drum The drum has a place in many Indigenous and traditional cultures, with practices and meanings that vary between communities. In our shamanic-inspired circle, we will use rhythm as a focus for presence, reflection and connection. The steady beat can help us settle our attention, become more aware of our breathing and feel connected to the people around us. We can allow the rhythm to become a reminder of the natural cycles that move through our lives and the world. Together, we will create a space in which we can listen deeply, honour our individual journeys and set intentions for the season ahead. Preparing for the Winter Solstice The Winter Solstice falls on Monday 21 December 2026. In the Northern Hemisphere, it marks the shortest day and longest night of the year, with the astronomical turning point occurring at approximately 8:50 pm GMT. For many people, the solstice carries a profound spiritual symbolism: the stillness of winter, the importance of rest and the gradual return of the light. It invites us to acknowledge the darkness without fearing it, to recognise the wisdom that can emerge from quieter periods and to remember that new beginnings often start long before we can see their results. Our drum circle takes place in the days leading up to this seasonal turning point. It offers an opportunity to reflect on the year that has passed, release what we are ready to leave behind and consciously welcome the light, hope and possibilities of a new cycle. An invitation to reconnect During our gathering, we will hold space for reflection, shared intention and the grounding rhythm of the drum. You may wish to consider: There is no need to arrive with all the answers. Sometimes the most meaningful part of a circle is simply allowing ourselves the time and space to listen. Join our 12-12-12 Sacred Drum Circle Saturday 12 December 2026 at 12 noon Twelve participants. One sacred circle. A shared intention to honour the Earth, reconnect with ourselves and prepare for the return of the light. If you feel drawn to join us, I would love to welcome you. Please contact Sarah Williams at Organic Aromatherapy to reserve your place. May we enter this winter season with open hearts, grateful spirits and renewed trust in the cycles of life. With love, light and blessings, Sarah WilliamsOrganic Aromatherapy | Soul Harmony Guidance & Quantum Wellness
What is the psoas? The psoas major is a deep muscle running from the lower spine (around T12–L5) through the pelvis and attaching to the top of the thigh bone (femur). It joins with the iliacus to form the iliopsoas, one of the body’s major hip flexors. It is particularly important for: It is essentially a deep central bridge between the upper and lower body. ✨ So why “muscle of the soul”? There are several layers to that idea. 1. It is deeply connected to our survival response. The psoas lies close to the sympathetic nervous system and structures involved in the body’s fight-or-flight response. When we perceive danger, the body prepares to run, fight or curl/protect itself. The psoas is involved in those physical responses. This has led somatic practitioners to describe it as a place where the body can hold patterns associated with stress, fear and protection. That’s where the spiritual language comes in: if the psoas is chronically contracted, the body can remain physically organised as though it needs to protect itself. 2. It is associated with the “fight, flight or freeze” posture. Think about an animal sensing danger. It contracts its body ready to spring away. Humans can develop something similar through prolonged stress — not because emotions literally become stored inside the psoas, but because the nervous system can establish persistent patterns of muscle tension and posture. A relaxed psoas allows the hips and pelvis to move freely rather than constantly preparing for action. 3. It is at the body’s centre. The psoas connects the spine, pelvis and legs, so it has an extraordinary influence on how the body organises itself around its centre of gravity. That makes it a beautiful metaphor for: Grounding, safety, movement and being able to move forward in life. I can share a quick and easy way to balance this important muscle which can shorten with too much sitting down. Message me for your 60second fix!
“The Art of the Heart” The secret chamber within … Releasing Grief and guilt and moving into joy and bliss. The Heart, the Lungs and the Art of Letting Go We often think of emotions as something we experience only in the mind. We say that we are thinking too much, overthinking, or that we simply need to “get over” something. Yet anyone who has experienced deep grief, heartbreak or guilt knows that emotions can also be felt in the body. We may notice a tight chest, a sigh that seems to come from somewhere deep within, tears that will not come—or tears that will not stop. Guilt may be accompanied by heaviness, tension, unease or difficulty relaxing. These are bodily experiences that can accompany emotional distress, although they are not unique to any one emotion and can have many possible causes. The relationship between body and emotion is complex. Stress and strong feelings can influence breathing, muscle tension, sleep and other bodily processes; in turn, bodily sensations can shape how we experience emotion. Alongside this physiological understanding, the heart and lungs have long carried symbolic meanings. In some traditional healing systems, the lungs are associated with grief and letting go, while the heart is associated with love, connection, joy and emotional pain. These are different ways of understanding the same human experience. Physiology describes processes in the body. Symbolism gives those processes emotional and poetic meaning. Traditional healing beliefs offer cultural frameworks that may help people reflect on suffering and healing, but they should not be confused with established medical explanations. So, whether we speak through the language of physiology, symbolism or tradition, there is something deeply recognisable in the experience: when the heart is hurting, the body may feel it too. Where Does Grief Go? Grief is often described as something we must “get through”. But grief does not always move in a straight line. It is stored in the lungs if suppressed “unshed tears” may appear as pneumonia, pleurisy, asthma, or a breast/chest /rib issue. Grief can return unexpectedly. A song. A familiar scent. A photograph. A particular place. And suddenly, the loss feels present again. We grieve not only for people who have died. We may grieve for a relationship, a lost dream, our health, a home, a career, a childhood, or a future we imagined but never received. Grief says: > **Something precious has changed. I have love but nowhere to put it.** And because grief can be so deeply connected to love, we may unconsciously hold onto it. Sometimes we believe that if we stop grieving, we are somehow letting go of the person. But releasing grief does not mean releasing love. We can keep the love. We can keep the memories. We can honour what was. And still allow ourselves to breathe again. The Lungs and the Breath In many traditional healing systems, the lungs are symbolically connected with grief and the process of letting go. This is a traditional or metaphorical association, not a claim that grief resides physically in the lungs or that the lungs alone determine our emotional state. And there is something profoundly meaningful about the image. The lungs continually show us the rhythm of life. We breathe in. And we breathe out. We receive. And we release. We cannot continue inhaling forever. Breathing requires both taking in and letting go. When we are distressed, frightened or grieving, our breathing may change. We might hold our breath, sigh more often or breathe more shallowly. These changes can occur as part of the body’s response to stress, though breathing patterns vary from person to person and can also be affected by many physical conditions. A slow, comfortable breath may help some people feel more grounded or create a moment of pause during emotional pain. It does not erase grief, and it is not a cure for distress. But it can create space around what we are feeling. And sometimes, space is where healing begins. Heart & throat chakra balance along with the Lung Meridian balancing creams are so powerful : The Heart and Emotional Connection The heart is one of the extraordinary organs of the body. Physically, it works continuously throughout our lives, circulating blood through an intricate rhythm of contraction and relaxation. But throughout human history, the heart has also been a symbol of love. We speak of: A broken heart. A heavy heart. A warm heart. An open heart. A heart full of joy. These expressions belong to the symbolic language of human experience. They do not mean that every emotional state is located in the heart itself. Strong emotions can be accompanied by sensations in the chest, but chest discomfort can also have many physical causes and should not automatically be interpreted as emotional. The heart reminds us of rhythm. It contracts. It releases. It fills. It empties. It moves in a remarkable three-dimensional pattern. And perhaps this offers us a beautiful metaphor for emotional life. We cannot remain permanently open. There are times when life causes us to contract. We protect ourselves. We withdraw. We close down. But contraction is not necessarily the end of expansion. The heart contracts—and then releases again. The Weight of Guilt If grief is connected with loss, guilt is often connected with the past. Guilt asks: What if I had done something differently? What if I had been there? What if I had known? What if it was my fault? Sometimes guilt serves a purpose. If we have genuinely harmed another person, guilt can help us recognise what needs to change. But guilt was never designed to become a life sentence. Healthy guilt can lead us towards: Recognition. Responsibility. Repair. Learning. Release. The difficulty comes when we continue punishing ourselves for something that cannot be changed. Or when we take responsibility for things that were never ours to control. Many people carry guilt for years because they believe that suffering is somehow a form of repayment. But suffering does not
“The powerhouse” 753hz can be a “healthy cell production “ frequency for the creation of Liver tissue according to “Rife”’findings. Livers can regenerate within 2-5 weeks (given good nutrition and support) https://organic-aromatherapy.co.uk/blog/look-after-your-liver/ The Liver — The Body’s Powerhouse The liver is one of the body’s most remarkable organs and can truly be thought of as a powerhouse and master processing centre. It performs more than 500 vital functions, including filtering and detoxifying the blood, processing nutrients, regulating blood sugar, producing bile for digestion, storing vitamins and minerals, and helping to regulate hormones and metabolism. One of the liver’s most extraordinary qualities is its ability to regenerate. Even when a significant portion has been damaged or surgically removed, the liver can grow back towards its original size and restore much of its function. Remarkably, regeneration can begin within days, with substantial regrowth occurring over weeks to months, although the exact rate depends on the individual and the extent of injury. The liver is therefore not simply a detoxification organ—it is a central hub for energy, nourishment, metabolism, protection and renewal, working continuously to maintain balance throughout the body.

In our emotional bodies ; There are just 2 fundamental emotions; unconditional love and fear. Suppressed fears are held in our kidneys. Do you experience any issues with frequent urination, kidney or renal discomfort? Are you filled with fear? Perhaps from the past! Fears, fight,flight,freeze or fawn Your body is not betraying you. It is showing you what has come on too quickly, what overwhelmed your ability to process, and what surged through your system without warning or space to release. Acute Kidney Injury is not just a sudden medical event. It is not simply about shock, dehydration, trauma, or toxic exposure. It is the soul’s way of signaling a crisis point a buildup that could no longer be carried quietly. It arrives abruptly. In the sacred organs that regulate flow and fear… until they can no longer regulate. It arrives when the soul has been bracing for too long and the body finally breaks the silence with a collapse. 🟢The Kidneys as Spiritual Emergency Responders🟢 Your kidneys are not just filters. They are responders. They monitor the tides of your inner world, noticing when something becomes too much to bear. They are connected to fear not the kind that shouts, but the kind that clenches quietly under the surface… the fear that if you stop holding it all, everything will fall apart. When a major shock occurs physically or emotionally the kidneys are the first to listen. They try to compensate. To hold back the flood. To manage the pressure. But when too much arrives all at once the loss, the betrayal, the rupture, the trauma they reach their threshold. And they shut down. Not to punish you. But to say: “This is no longer sustainable.” 🟣Common Spiritual Themes Behind AKI🟣 These are the soul patterns I often witness in distant energy healing sessions with those experiencing acute kidney injury: 🔸Sudden Loss of Safety AKI often follows a shock emotional, physical, or spiritual. It reflects the body’s inability to filter the impact in real time. It says, “This was too much, too fast.” 🔸Energetic Collapse After Holding Too Much Those who experience AKI are often strong, capable, and emotionally contained. When a sudden crisis comes, the very structure they relied on gives way. 🔸Unprocessed Rage or Shock Locked in the System In many, AKI coincides with an event they didn’t have time to feel. A betrayal, a death, an emotional ambush. The kidneys hold what the heart cannot yet speak. 🔸A Spiritual “Stop” From the Soul Sometimes, the body shuts down to interrupt a path that has become misaligned. AKI can be a forced pause… a spiritual intervention that says, “You cannot keep going this way.” 🔸Ancestral Echoes of Abandonment or Powerlessness In some, AKI activates inherited trauma unresolved survival panic passed down through the blood. The kidneys hold this legacy until the present body collapses under its weight. 🟤Kerry’s Story: When the Body Shut Down to Speak the Truth🟤 Kerry reached out to me after a sudden hospitalization. A combination of physical exhaustion, dehydration, and stress had caused her kidneys to fail almost overnight. The doctors were baffled. She was young, healthy, and had no risk factors. But Kerry knew. “I knew something was building. I just didn’t know how to stop,” she said. In her session, we traced the roots to a moment three weeks before a devastating conflict with her sister, the resurfacing of old abuse, and the collapse of a relationship she had emotionally anchored her life to. Her body had braced. Her emotions had frozen. But her kidneys had heard the truth. They took the hit her heart could not absorb. Energetically, I saw a rupture in her lower back field a tearing between what she knew and what she pretended not to know. We worked to stabilize the field, restore her connection to self-trust, and clear ancestral grief still stored in her pelvic bowl. A few days later, she wrote: “The doctors said my kidneys ‘turned back on.’ But I know… it was the part of me I shut down years ago that came back to life.” 🔴What You Can Do Now🔴 🔹Place Your Hands Over Your Kidneys and Speak Safety Into Them Warm your hands and rest them on your lower back. Say aloud: “You don’t have to shield me from the pain anymore. I am safe to feel. I am safe to release.” 🔹Anchor Into the Present Moment With Water Drink a small glass of water slowly, with presence. As you sip, say: “I receive this moment fully. I allow my system to reset gently, without fear.” 🔹Release the Shock From Your Field In your journal, write: “This is what hit me too hard and too fast.” Let the truth come out what you couldn’t feel then, you can name now. 🔹Let Rest Be Your Medicine Acute events often follow chronic depletion. Let yourself rest without guilt. Let every breath be an act of re-entrance. ⭕Vibrational Allies for AKI⭕ Mimulus (Bach) for fear 📍Homeopathic Remedy: Aconitum Napellus 30C For shock states physical, emotional, or spiritual. Especially where fear, panic, or trauma come on suddenly and the body shuts down in response. 📍Flower Essence: Rescue Remedy (Bach) A classic blend to address acute overwhelm, crisis, and energetic fragmentation. Calms the body’s subtle fields after sudden trauma. 📍Cell Salt: Kali Phosphoricum 6X Restores nerve vitality and energetic coherence after collapse. Helps those recovering from stress, burnout, and emotional trauma that affects the kidneys and adrenals. Your Body Is Asking for Immediate Listening Acute Kidney Injury is not failure. It is a rupture that reveals what can no longer be held. It is a sacred STOP. A full-body plea to feel, to slow, to tend to the soul behind the symptoms. It asks you to turn inward. To let the systems reset. To listen to what your body knew before your mind could admit it. If this resonates, I invite you to journey deeper with me. Together we’ll explore what your body has
The Love That Has Nowhere to Go Most of us are experiencing grief currently as we continue to raise our vibrations and move into 5d and beyond. We can choose to release all fear to step forwards now or we can hang on to it and suffer the consequences. When we want to heal, we can. This means us choosing to face all our deepest and darkest aspects, feelings and memories that we still hold as we will continue to attract circumstances triggering events that cause us to feel these emotional layers. We are evolving perfectly and must love ourselves in our imperfection. Looking at Solfeggio frequencies of release is a way of assisting this process too especially at harmonic healing frequencies of 174hz, 285hz, 396hz and 417hz.Using heart and throat chakra creams daily is another way to stay well and “vent” heavy emotions. 1. Grief is love with nowhere to go.When someone we love is no longer physically present, the love does not disappear. We still have all that love inside us, but we no longer have the person, animal or relationship with whom to share it. This can create an enormous sense of emptiness and longing, also anger and frustration. 2. Grief comes in layers, like an onion.Grief is rarely something we experience once and then completely finish. Instead, it can unfold layer by layer. We may believe we have processed a particular loss, only to discover that another layer is waiting underneath. 3. Triggers can release another layer of grief.A song, a smell, a photograph, a place, an anniversary, a familiar voice or even a seemingly insignificant moment can suddenly bring the feelings back. This does not necessarily mean we are going backwards. It can mean that another layer is ready to be felt and released. 4. Losing animals and loved ones can create profound grief.The loss of any type of relationship, or an animal companion can be every bit as significant as the loss of a human loved one. They are part of our lives, our routines and our hearts. When they leave us, there can be a huge amount of love with nowhere physical to place it. 5. Guilt often travels alongside grief.We may replay conversations, decisions and moments in our minds: I should have done more. I should have said that. I wish I had known. Guilt can make us believe that we could somehow have changed what happened. Compassionately recognising these thoughts can help us separate genuine responsibility from the mind’s attempt to make sense of an irreversible loss. 6. Grief can be complicated by the things left unsaid.Sometimes we grieve not only the person or animal we have lost, but also the words we never spoke, the hugs we never gave, the apologies we never made or the future we imagined would happen together. 7. The body can carry grief in the lungs.Grief is not purely an emotional experience. It can be felt physically as heaviness, tightness, exhaustion, a lump in the throat, changes in breathing or a feeling of emptiness in the chest. Different traditions also associate grief symbolically with the lungs and the breath. These associations can be meaningful, but they should not be taken to mean that grief itself causes medical conditions such as pneumonia or pleurisy. 8. We can be triggered into grieving an earlier loss when a new loss occurs.Sometimes a present-day loss opens the door to grief that was never fully felt before. One bereavement can therefore bring several previous losses to the surface. It can feel as though everything is arriving at once, when in reality several layers of grief are asking to be acknowledged. 9. Grief needs somewhere to go.Because grief is deeply connected with love, one of the most healing things we can do is find ways to give that love expression. We can speak to the person or animal we have lost, write letters, create rituals, spend time in nature, look at photographs, allow ourselves to cry, or simply sit quietly and feel what is there. The shower is often a good place. 10. Healing does not mean forgetting or letting go of love.Healing is not about erasing the person, animal or experience from our lives. It is about learning to carry the love differently. Over time, the sharpness of grief may soften, while the love remains. We can honour what was, allow each layer to be felt when it arises, and gradually discover that the love itself can become part of our strength, wisdom and compassion. Use the heart and throat chakra creams and the lung meridian support cream.
“The muscle of the Soul” Psoas muscle resetting in 2 easy moves … The psoas (pronounced SO-as) is a deep, powerful muscle that connects your lower spine to your thigh. It sits deep inside the abdomen, behind many of the abdominal organs. What happens when balanced? I can show you how to attain this at home now in just 2 movements. Message me Sarah@organic-aromatherapy.co.uk What does the psoas do? The psoas major is one of the main muscles involved in: There are actually three related muscles: the psoas major, psoas minor (which is absent in some people), and iliacus. Together, the psoas major and iliacus are commonly called the iliopsoas. And there’s an interesting deeper aspect… Because the psoas lies so deep in the body, surrounding the lumbar spine and close to the diaphragm, it can become involved in breathing, posture and the body’s response to stress. When we’re frightened or under sudden stress, muscles including the psoas can contract as part of the body’s protective movement response. You’ll sometimes hear the psoas called the “muscle of the soul” or “muscle of fight-or-flight.” Those are holistic/therapeutic descriptions rather than anatomical terms, but they reflect the fascinating relationship between this deep muscle, posture, movement and the nervous system. Step into joy 🥰👍🤍
Are you called to evolve ? The Seer’s Rite (Kawak) I am sharing this Sacred Rite today with a munay ki student. It connects to the eyes /vision clairvoyance aligning of soma, plus 3 more chakras of Alta major, heart and third eye. This connection can promote a feeling of bliss and joy. “warm fuzzies” of vagus nerve realignment and activation. Shamanically to the winds of the East, mountains and dreaming our world into being. Creation “Well of dreams“ Jade Gate. Eagle / condor “The Seer’s Rite is intended to awaken your ability to perceive the world beyond ordinary physical sight. It is said to install energetic “pathways of light” linking the visual cortex, the third eye (ajna chakra), and the heart centre. Symbolically, this represents learning to see with both intuition and compassion, rather than with the analytical mind alone. Traditionally, the rite is believed to help you: Many practitioners describe this as learning to see with the eyes of the heart. The deeper symbolism The Seer is not simply someone who predicts the future. In the Andean-inspired understanding of Munay-Ki, a seer is someone who perceives: Rather than trying to “look ahead,” the Seer learns to see what is already present but normally overlooked. Experiences after receiving the rite People often report experiences such as: These experiences vary widely from person to person and aren’t considered guaranteed outcomes. Practices to nurture the Seer’s Rite Traditionally, recipients are encouraged to cultivate the rite through regular spiritual practice, such as: The idea is that the rite plants a “seed”; your ongoing practice helps that seed grow” If you are called to evolve with Munay Ki ( Omni-versal love )or would like to have a rite resown( if you’ve missed a few bi monthly fire ceremonies) then contact me to arrange your personal session I’d be honoured to assist.
