A new chapter, a new continent


Hello Beautiful Soul

Today there is determination. There is a strength rising up that hasn’t been there for a couple of days. Maybe all week. A re-minder of my resilience. The resilience that is inherent within me that has been born out of so many things. My lifetime to date. And probably many others too. It is the recognition of the old adage that this too shall pass. That truly nothing remains the same. And as much as we can feel anything from anxious to downright desperate in any given moment, it doesn’t usually last. Unless we are experiencing depression. And I get it. I’ve been there too.

One of the many things that I have recognised through travelling is how there is a constant invitation to grow. For you are constantly walking into the unknown. Constantly walking into what you don’t know. People, places, spaces. All unknown quantities. And even when we return to places that hold at least some sense of familiarity they have changed since we were last there. As have we.

This is the re-minder to be ever present to the need to treat ourselves gently. No matter where we are in the world. No matter how seemingly static or moving our environment may be – nothing remains the same.

If we choose to look at ourselves and our lives through this lens, we realise that we are doing the best we can. We are always doing the best we can. Even if it doesn’t feel like it. Especially then. For even when we are at a low ebb we may well be positively impacting the world, and the energetic field, through our presence.

We often negate who we are. Measuring ourselves against markers that are not ours. That have been handed down to us. Within our families. Within our culture. Or a religion that we have been immersed in. Yet who are you really?

A Divine being. A spark of God. Or whatever name you are comfortable giving the all that is. Your mere presence on this Earth a living breathing example of miracles. Or miraculousness. Of bravery and courage, to have chosen to be here at this time. To step into the Earth school at a time of great change. Of great transition. And to be a part of that transition. To play your part in this change.

For this is what we are here to do. Whether we are conscious of it or not. Whether we were taught this through our traditional schooling or not.

You will know if this resonates with you, for you will feel it in your Soul. You will sense that this means something to you. Even if it makes no sense to your mind.

And this can often be a way our intuition shows up. Subtly. Gently. Not shouting or making a fuss. A simple feeling. A knowing. When something feels right or good for us, even if it makes no logical sense, it invariably is.

I invite you to notice these feelings, these sensations, more and more. For as you do they will naturally grow. And as you become accustomed to noticing them, they will also help you navigate your world in easier and easier ways. Instead of doubting and second guessing yourself you will recognise the feeling that says yes, this way, this is the way to go. Or you will simply know.

Blessèd Be.

Being in greater touch with our inner knowing – our internal guidance system – however it shows up for you is one of the greatest gifts that we can each embrace. For it opens us up to a greater sense of personal sovereignty. A greater sense of who we are rather than an expectation that either we have held about ourselves, or we believe that society has, or both. And when I say society I am including anything and anyone in our external environment that has influenced us.

I am really feeling this right now in my own world. Where all sorts of doubts and questions have arisen this week. Re-minding me once again that I do not need to know. And what has actually been arising is the eternal present invitation to let go. To allow. To re-mind myself, my human self, that I’ve never known which way to go. Literally and metaphysically. Each moment each turn, each choice in life, simply based on what I knew at the time. Something that has naturally morphed into a greater connection with my Higher Self. An aspect of ourselves that knows the way. That if we choose to quiet our mind and be still we are shown. The path is literally revealed.

Yet how do we do this? How do we arrive, let alone deepen this place, this space that is available to us all? For me, it has consisted of many things. Meditation, definitely. Learning to silence the monkey mind has been invaluable. Writing, absolutely. Initially through the self exploratory process of journalling. Both of which I still employ. Both of which I still enJoY.

Even if you have never journalled or have dabbled in it, maybe it’s time to consider it anew. The same with meditation. Meditation can mean many things and something I heard from one of my teachers many years ago is that there are as many different ways to meditate as there are people.

This autumn I would Love to support you in this. Whether individually or in group. I am feeling called to offer a group workshop to embrace all of this, if there is interest, so please let me know if this has sparked something in you. Simply reply YES to this email and I will pull the logistics together and let you know more very soon.

If you can’t wait, or you’d prefer to email me more personally, you can do so here: melody@thisdivinelife.com​

This idea has been bubbling up within me for a while, not yet fully formed, waiting for its time to be expressed. It came as a surprise to me that today is the day that it wanted to make itself known.

This is the power of allowing our words to flow. Of journalling. It helps us to receive what wants to be shown. To communicate in a whole other way with the higher aspects of ourselves. With our heart with our Soul. And with our guide team as well. All things I will delight in sharing with you!

Leaving the States last week, I made a conscious choice not to visit New York, somewhere I LOVE and have historically always enJoYed. I wasn't feeling it this time. Instead, I dived once again into the unknown, following my intuition and discovering a new city. Ever heard of White Plains? No neither had I. I really enJoYed my brief time there. For a city, it has a fabulous energy and I felt effortlessly at home.

And where have I landed?! Why Greece of course. I am looking forward to being re-minded of all the ways that I LOVE this country and all of the ways I have yet to discover...

As we progress a little further into this new month, into a new season, and with this week’s powerFULL New Moon approaching, what is calling to you? Change is most definitely in the air. Of that there is no doubt. And with it can surface all manner of doubt. Confusion. Questioning.

This is our ever present re-minder to turn in and tune in to the wisdom that we each contain. That is always there. Available to us 24/7. The question is are we choosing to listen?

May your week be filled with acceptance like never before. The acceptance of what you cannot change and a greater recognition of that which you can.

Sending SO Much LOVE from my Heart to Yours

Hello Beautiful Soul I have started writing again on Medium1. It’s been something I’ve been meaning to do for a while. To get into a new rhythm and share more of my work with the world. I’d been put off by the tech side. That part of me that said “I don’t know how to do this.” It felt like every time I looked at it, something had moved or was different. Like the goal posts were moving too fast. Until my determination kicked in. And I was energetically in the right space. An aligned...

Hello Beautiful Soul It’s Sunday morning as I write to you. There is a stillness in the air after last night’s storm. A dramatic affair with lightning criss crossing and cracking against the sky. Today marks a special occasion for me. A moment of consideration. Reflection. And recognition. Five years ago today, I sent out the first edition of this newsletter. Originally entitled ‘Manifesting Miracles’ it has evolved as I have. A perfect reflection of my own journey for all the world to see....

Hello Beautiful Soul Is it time to re-member to breathe, to pause, to let out a long slow exhale? The energy has felt intense the last few days. Like an unexplained urgency pushing forwards, requiring action. And as much as we all always have things that we need to do, more often than not there are few that require our urgent attention. It has felt very elemental. The energy of fire that wishes to create, burn, transform. And yet what is it really time for? Maybe what it’s really time for is...
