Soul Reflections, Quiet Truths & Threads from the Deep
Writings on spiritual awakening, soul healing, and midlife transformation
This space holds pieces of my journey — fragments of truth, moments of insight, and whispers from the soul
I write for those who are tired of surface-level everything.
For those who feel things deeply.
For those who want to sit beside something real and quietly let it work on them.
These writings are not here to fix or teach.
They’re invitations to rest, reflect, and return to what matters.
You’ll find reflections on:
— Soul healing and spiritual integration
— Energy sensitivity and embodiment
— Grief, thresholds, and transformation
— Midlife awakenings and archetypal stirrings
— Living from the deep self in a fast world
Some posts are recent, written in the voice of the deep I now live from.
Others are from earlier seasons, when I was still trying to shape my work in ways the world might understand.
You may feel the shift in tone — and that’s okay.
We are always becoming.
Take what resonates. Let the rest float past.
And if something stirs in you — a question, a knowing, a desire to connect — I’d love to hear from you.
How to use radical compassion to help yourself through a freeze state (or any difficult emotion or experience)
Some members of my community have been telling me that they’re in various states of freeze that they've been in for quite some time, or that they’re really challenged by going into a freeze response in certain situations such as being criticised by a loved one or having anger directed towards them.
So in this helpful article, I explain:
what a freeze state is
why you can get stuck in a freeze response
the typical approaches people react to a freeze and why they don’t work
how radical self-compassion can help yourself get out of a freeze state; and
I take you through Tara Brach’s RAIN process combined with somatic touch to help you through a freeze/shutdown response or any challenge you may be experiencing
