You do not write your life with words…You write it with actions. What you think is not important. It is only important what you do.
Patrick Ness
Dear Little Nicole,
I thought of you yesterday as I was taking part in the Climate Strike march, and how different this world is now from the one into which you were born. I thought of you, and my heart filled with tenderness, and I wanted you to know three things about your young self, and how important they have been, as you have grown to be the person I am today.
1. You were always an activist. I suspect you were born that way. Your first major protest was at the christening of the baby of a family friend. Children were invited to the front of the church to watch as the minister got ready to baptize the babies from the font. The minister spoke about how the babies had been born sinners, and were now going to be saved from original sin. He said that evil would be purged from them. ‘They are not bad. They are just babies!’, you yelled, ‘YOU are a bad man for saying that!’ and then you stormed out of the church in angry tears. You felt so embarrassed and anxious afterwards, and you were worried you’d be in trouble but you had to speak up anyway. I’m proud of you for that.
Since then you’ve protested and taken action about many things, including environmental issues and social justice issues. I wish you’d known back then that it was okay to speak your truth, and that you had worried less about getting into trouble and about what other people thought of you.
2. You knew you were psychic, from the earliest days of your life. You heard things. You saw things. You knew things. And you thought everyone did. How upsetting it was to find out that this wasn’t normal. How difficult it was when no-one believed you, or they did (your maternal grandmother, because she was psychic too) but told you not to ever speak about it. Little Nic, I know it was hard keeping that a secret, but you don’t need to hide it or to be ashamed of it anymore. I wish you had known that you’d go on to help many people because of your abilities, and that you’d help many more to claim their own intuitive and psychic selves as a natural part of their lives. I wish you’d known how important it is to always be yourself, and that the right people will love and accept you for that.
3. You loved books, and you wanted to be a writer and a teacher when you grew up. The library was your favourite outing, and books were some of your best friends. Your dad taught you to read and write long before you began school, and you have been writing stories ever since. I wish you had known that your stories were good, even as a child, and that it was okay to share them with the world. You’ve waited much too long, and worried far too much about not being good enough. I wish you’d known earlier that stories that come to you have come so that you can write them into form and share them. They were never meant just for you. And guess what? You ARE a writer and a teacher now. We often know, right from our earliest years, the kind of life path that will make us happy.
I wonder, all of my wonderful community, what do you wish you had known as a child?
What wisdom and encouragement would you share with a younger version of yourself?
I want you to know that you can tell yourself that wisdom now. There will be days where you still need to hear that.
All my love, Nicole xx
PS – Would you like me to show you a way to heal your relationship with yourself so you can accept and love yourself, just as you are, right now?
Rituals for Healing Your Relationship With Yourself is a foundation course for creating gentle and restorative magic in your life. It will help you to embrace self-acceptance, and to feel more comfortable in your own skin. The course has eight unique rituals that you can perform at home, that will enhance your intuition and self-awareness. The course is supported by over an hour of instructions videos and guided meditation, as well as online modules and printable PDFs to guide you through each ritual.
(In a hurry to get started? Go here.)
You can come back to these rituals again and again, and they will always work for you. In fact, allowing room in your life for ritual enables you to reclaim more of your own mystical and intuitive self – which is your birthright, and an intrinsic part of who you are.
Coursework includes:
- Bathtime Ritual – to help you to anchor gratitude, safety and self acceptance in your body
- 20-minute Guided Healing Meditation – a meditation to practice any time that you experience pain, fear, illness, anxiety, discomfort or injury. It is a simple way to help promote healing and to reduce pain and inflammation. This meditation is also useful for you if you are exhausted or very stressed.
- Emptying The Mind Ritual – a ritual to help you empty your mind, so that you can get your worries under control, and separate out the useful problem-solving thoughts from all of that negative and destructive chatter
- Acceptance of Feelings Ritual – to help you to accept the feelings within your body so that they can be fully felt and released
- Sowing Seeds Ritual – identify and magnetize yourself to the yearnings of your soul, so that you can make your dreams manifest in your life
- Third Eye Activation Candle Ritual – a ritual to open your Third Eye and help you tap into your intuition and Soul Awareness
- New Moon Manifesting Ritual – to draw abundance to you, get you back into flow with money, and create a path for your intentions so that they move from thought to reality
- New Moon Grounding Ritual – this Ritual will ground you, as it opens you up to more of your own natural energetic and psychic ability; it is very comforting for people who spend most of their day indoors, or in front of a computer
- Mother Moon Nurture Ritual – a ritual to help you to heal and replenish yourself on a soul level
My intention for you is that, in using these rituals, you will learn to come home to yourself, to know yourself better, and to evolve into a wiser, more secure, more intuitive, and happier version of yourself.
