Hi gorgeous
So I had my 11 days off.
It’s weird taking holidays because I only work 2-3 hours a day, but I work every day including weekends.
I have worked particularly hard building my new Bliss Weaving business over the past nine months.
It’s not just the guide training, though that was a HUGE part of it, but I’ve also started making printables and meditations all under the Bliss Weaving brand.
Because Bliss Weaving is a whole brand.
I got fed up with spirituality being reserved for those who aren’t traumatised, for those who don’t have reactions when triggered and for those who live alone up mountains.
Bliss Weaving feels like INCLUSIVE SPIRITUALITY.
You don’t seek to drop what you don’t want, you actively allow in more bliss by working with the Guides (you can see them here), by listening to the FREE meditations (you can see those here) and by working with the printables such as cards, bedtime ritual, portals and more (you can see my toolkit here).
And when you do these things, the other stuff may or may not get crowded out, but one thing’s for sure, your life becomes more worth living because there are increasing moments of bliss throughout your day.
And that’s the point of life — to connect to YOUR bliss, however that looks.
My Guides are trained to not impress anything religious or spiritual upon you in their sessions, but if you have a faith, they can also work with that. However, I wanted Bliss Weaving to be about YOU, not about worshipping or having a belief system anything outside of yourself.
OK, there is Expanded Ripley beaming Bliss to you in your sessions, but Siriusly, you don’t have to believe that bit (though he will do it regardless, he’s a good boy like that).
Anyway, I digress
I’ve got a little personal update to share with you.
While I was on holiday, I went to London for the first time since covid. That’s FIVE whole years. I mean, 2 of those years I couldn’t travel, then I got my deadly covid that put me in hospital for a week, then I twisted my pelvis a few days after coming out of hospital.
At that point my life went weird. I was wrongly diagnosed and was getting the wrong treatment.
2.5 years later I went to a new chiropractor (who’s actually my old chiro from when the lorry reversed into me years before).
She rediagnosed me — lots of things going on but basically my bones were out of place and I had massive inflammation.
No wonder I’d been struggling to walk!
Within a few weeks she got me straight, but my soft tissue needs retraining to be in the right place again.
I’ve been doing lots of yoga, though I literally have zero core now.
I keep thinking if I keep doing the yoga my body will remember.
And I’ve started a cleanse to help my body feel good again — juices with a little food thrown in (hello sliced cucumbers and se salt, oooh, Chinese leaf with crudites, mmmm green soup for quick nourishment).
But I’m now that much better that I can face a day out in London, and so I did.
Continuing our theme of weird
Me Julie took me to The Tate Modern to see the Leigh Bowery exhibition.
My god, it was a good one to go to as a way to get back into life.
It was a multimedia dream.
A cascade of colour, creativity and celebration.
It was like stepping into another universe where feeling held back doesn’t exist and self-expression is its own spiritual practice.
It was outrageous, of course, the costumes, the makeup, the sheer audacity of it all.
But underneath that was something really tender.
This man was turning his body into art, not to be liked or understood, but to become something bigger than the limits most people feel.
Maybe he felt like hiding was a riducularse thing to do…. I mean why would any of us do that?
And none of his work felt like rebellion, it all felt like he had genuinely tapped into his authentic self (think “this is me”).
The whole exhibition was a show stopping invitation for us all to show up in our own lives as the fullest, weirdest version of ourselves.
It made me realise just how much we’re encouraged to water ourselves down, to fit in, to stay palatable.
Leigh didn’t.
Not once.
And that’s his legacy: his unapologetic truth made it easier for the rest of us weirdos to live ours.
It’s funny how a bit of time away can remind us what makes us feel alive.
So now, back at it, I’m more inspired than ever bring bliss to the world… ready for your own version of bliss?

PS: Taking a break, reconnecting with myself, and stepping back into life has reminded me how important it is to embrace our own rhythm
