When I want to recharge from the hustle and bustle of life and be, I walk in the Dublin mountains. It relaxes me in a way nothing else can because I feel completely encompassed by God and Mother Earth. Walking amongst the trees makes me walk taller, with a sense of purpose. Nature helps me to breathe deeper into my soul and connect with my heart on an intimate level. This invigorates me and yet calms me. It heals my body and clears my constant thoughts of yesterdays and tomorrows. I feel safe and protected and grounded. The beautiful songs of the birds and whisperings of the wind take me back to me. The perfume of the flowers, trees and soil fill my body with love. The dancing trees, playful birds and busy insects assure me that I am part of it all and I like to be ‘part of’.

To recharge means to me to bring back harmony into my life, to balance giving and receiving, to equally embrace my masculine and feminine aspects, to give myself permission to ask for what I want. Doing things, but also just to be myself – whatever that means at any moment of time! My sanctuary to recharge here in Ireland has become the Harvest Moon Centre, Dublin 2 which is oozing with heart energy as you step down into a world of the feminine – long lost in today’s society. I not only work from there (doing) but also allow myself to surrender into being. Melt into nothingness in a flotation tank and then enjoy to be taken care of by receiving some healing bodywork. Thereafter I feel recharged, grounded and back in my body again, ready for some more serving. They say “You can’t quench other people’s thirst from a dry well” – I agree!
