Body positivity when disabled
Body positivity when disabled is not easy, everything in media and in society in general is negative about disability, most of the time we are kind of forgotten. Otherwise we can be made to feel guilty or judged by how we look and not by the illnesses we have. So the weather has changed, and spring has sprung, though the last few days we have had snow, so I have of course changed all my clothes over from winter to summer. I was excited to get back to my floral dresses and bright colours, but as I started to try things on I noticed that a lot of them were…
Finding true happiness through mindfulness
I often talk about mindfulness because honestly it has changed my life in so many ways I don’t know how I got by before I found it.

However, learning to be in the moment so you can notice when your mind starts…

Novice Witch Thoughts
So, the last week has been a bit of a rollercoaster and I’ve been having a lot of novice witch thoughts so let’s talk it out.

How To Deal With Loss Spiritually
The loss of a loved one is never easy. No matter if they passed away suddenly or have a terminal illness, you are never quite prepared and it is no easier. And loss doesn’t always have to be due to death, it could also be from something such as them moving away, or suffering from an illness such as dementia where they don’t remember you, or perhaps a divorce.

Being a spiritual person doesn’t mean that you will always be protected and you need…

Overwhelm in witchcraft
I am loving my spiritual journey, especially now I know what kind of witch I am and can focus my studies. But recently I have been feeling like I have too much to learn and do and it has been a lot! So I thought we could take some time to talk about overwhelm in witchcraft. When I started on this journey, I was very much based in spirituality, learning yoga, meditation and mindfulness (hence the name of this blog). But that soon moved me into witchcraft when I started learning to be a psychic. Though that didn’t last, I am thankful for the path it got me travelling down.…

Building a routine for mental health has been such an incredible part of my dealing with my illnesses. So lets talk about it and hopefully help one another.
