When the Energy Was So Good… Even the Seagull Wanted In

Sometimes Tai Chi brings deep stillness, and sometimes it brings unexpected visitors.
Yesterday at Waunfawr Community Hall, we had both — and a whole lot of laughter.

During my Tai Chi Movement for Wellbeing session, we were right in the heart of coming home — settling into presence, deep relaxation, and that soft sense of realignment. The room was quiet, everyone breathing into centre… when suddenly:

tap tap tap.

It echoed around the hall. I couldn’t see where it was coming from, so I gently continued guiding everyone deeper into the meditation.
Then again:

tap… tap… tap.

Still nothing visible. We stayed with our breath, with our grounding, with our stillness — and yet the tapping kept returning, as if someone (or something) wanted our attention.

After about five minutes, one of my lovely ladies — who had a clear view of the door — suddenly stood up and said:

“I’ve got to go and look… there’s a seagull tapping on the glass door!”

And we all burst into laughter.

Pure, joyful, unexpected hilarity right in the middle of our Zen moment.

I’ve never known a seagull to knock so politely before.

We must have created such a beautiful, enticing energy that he was desperate to come in and join us.

Pure Zen…
with a side of seagull mischief. 🧘‍♀️😆☮️

🌞 Celebrating a Beautiful Day at Llanrhystud’s Picnic in the Park!

What a wonderful day — huge thanks to the organisers for inviting me to be part of this lovely community event. 🌿

I met so many kind and inspiring people, shared laughter and conversation, and loved being out and about with my Sacred Journeys table — offering affirmations, wellbeing tips, and information on upcoming events at Llanrhystud Memorial Hall.

It was such a joy to connect with old friends and new ones alike, and to share a little of what I do through Tai Chi Movement for Wellbeing, Body Tapping, and EFT.
If you’d like to join in the journey, my next event is:
✨ Roots & Wings – Introduction Evening
📍 Llanrhystud Memorial Hall
🕠 Tuesday 21 July • 5:30 – 7:30 pm • £15

We’ll explore gentle embodiment practices, guided meditation, and simple techniques to restore calm and connection — with light refreshments and a friendly, easy‑going circle.

Come along and be part of this soulful evening — a chance to pause, breathe, and reconnect. 🌸

🌞 Heading to the Carnival – Picnic in the Park today!

I’ll be at Cae Ceredig, Llanrhystud this afternoon for the Picnic in the Park — a wonderful free community event full of colour, music, and laughter.

I’m bringing along information about my upcoming T’ai Chi Movement for Wellbeing classes, plus details of new events coming soon. There’ll also be tarot and intuitive insight for anyone who feels drawn to stop by — along with wise words, gentle energy, and good conversation.

Old friends and new ones are all warmly welcome to come by, say hello, and share in the day’s spirit of connection and community. 🌿✨

✨ You are not a machine.

This message resonates deeply with the heart of my work — the reminder that we are not built for endless output, but for presence, breath, and connection.

In Tai Chi Movement for Wellbeing and my embodiment practices, we explore exactly this: how to slow down, reconnect, and rediscover the rhythm of being human.

Life isn’t a to‑do list — it’s a gift. When we pause, we begin to feel the music of our own soul again.

If you’re ready to rediscover yourself, align with your natural flow, and find your pause, I’d love to welcome you.

🌸 Weekly classes in Aberystwyth (Monday mornings)

🌿 Pop‑up taster sessions across Ceredigion throughout the year

🌿 My Journey at Arthur Findlay College
I’ve recently returned from the shamanic course at Arthur Findlay College, and I’m still buzzing with the energy, learning, and deep inner shifts that took place. It’s hard to put into words, but something profound has awakened in me.

This week touched every layer of who I am — my healing, my confidence, my skills, my connection to spirit, and the possibilities ahead. I shed old patterns, met my shadows with courage, and opened to new ways of seeing and sensing. I learned so much, healed so much, and grew in ways I’m still integrating.

I experienced things that will stay with me forever… moments of clarity, moments of magic, moments of pure connection. I shared my own abilities, discovered new strengths, and felt myself expanding from the inside out. As a guardian of energy and possibility, I feel renewed, aligned, and ready for what comes next.

The magic of Arthur Findlay College is truly unmatched — a place where transformation feels natural and spirit feels close. I cannot wait to continue this journey and explore the next steps that are unfolding.

✨ Watch this space for further updates, insights, and offerings.

My path is opening, and I’m excited to share parts of it with you.
