Just Stop! and Surrender
Sometimes its time to Just Stop! and Surrender.… I was driving through the beautiful Ibizan countryside yesterday and I reached a red-light – most unusual in these small roads and natural surrounds – and my inner-mind spoke up: “hmmmm – it must be time to Just Stop! “ I laughed to myself: it had been a beautiful, memorable, yet intense few weeks, many wonderful clients and amazing, transformational retreats, gorgeous boat trips and sacred family time. Yet not much down time… So what was missing? Why was I feeling this? Because I needed some slow-down time for me. I saw a negative thought flash through my consciousness: “I am so sick of driving everywhere” And, just as the universe works with such precision to bring us exactly what we are asking for, my beautiful white jeep shortly stopped… just like that! At the bottom of a small hill. And so that… was that. I had to Just Stop! and Surrender.
* I noticed myself feeling relieved, as I rearranged appointments. I accepted and even embraced the situation with the insight that this was going to be a beautiful learning curve and was what my soul was actually asking for, the jeep was faithfully towed to the mechanics leaving me… car-free for 24 hours at least !
* I was able to slow down as I surrendered and began to let go of control.
* I breathed deeply into my belly and trusted that we would find ways to easily manage the many intricacies of work and family life gently and easily.
* I allowed my husband to drive me and my son to his school. We then did something we have not done together often since our son was born, my husband and I returned to feeling as light and free as teenagers, as we took an early morning swim together in the glittering emerald waters of Benirras beach. I felt cheeky little tickles as fish nibbled my legs and announced their presence and, with no control over when we were leaving… I felt my mind quieten into a deep, blue, calm as I immersed myself in the waters and enjoyed the incredible majestic cliffs and rock formations, the morning light, the peace…
The rest of the day just flowed…. with a natural rhythm, from meetings and clients to lunch and emails.
And me? I softened, I felt myself enter this sacred feminine place that is gentler, more open, receptive, as I allowed others to take the actions necessary, which I did not try to control and which they, therefore, did with pleasure and with ease.
And as I descended further into this beautiful “softer” realm, my intuition became clearer, and I experienced many wonderful insights about other areas of my life that I need to “prune” this autumn, to purify and release, in order to conserve my energy and to secure more sacred, car-free, natural-letting-go time for me.
It was time to create some Autumn exhale time :0)
Join us for our Just Stop! Retreat in October and come share more of this surrendering-into-softness and enjoy the gentle new energy that can flow.
Thank you for reading! And have an amazing, go-with-the-flow day.

The vital reasons to Just Stop! this summer-time
Summer is truly here and the afternoons beckon for time to Just Stop! and retreat in Ibiza… step back from the heat (of life) with siestas, cool and calm.
It is vital here in Ibiza and it sets a positive, holistic well-being trend for when you return to wherever your day-to-day reality may be.
So why is it so important for our health, happiness and wellbeing? Well……
When you do stop properly your mind can unwind properly.
Our conscious mind can deal with 5, 7 or even 9 bits of information at any one time.
Our amazing unconscious, which is running our whole mind-body system, is always at work. So when switching off the phone, stepping away from the emails, the whassups and bleeps, the unconscious mind can also rest. Whether you choose to sleep, you are giving your always-active-senses time off to recuperate and recharge.
Our eyes, our ears, our taste-buds, our smell and even our sixth intuitive sense are always working, tuning in and out of stimuli in our environment.
So when you give them space – and close your eyes – or purely look at the sea, the pool, green grass or something simple and relaxing, this creates energetic space – and space in the mind – help you feel clearer, lighter and refreshed. Use an i-pod and listen to soft calming sounds to help your mind keep relaxing.
The conscious mind LOVES to keep spinning. And this can send us into a tail-spin! By giving clients, emails and other reactive triggers space and time, you can also come back with a more considered, careful and most likely, more successful response. In your own way, in a calm and easy pace.
Just notice the difference, when you receive an email or text from someone who you can “just feel” is on the run, or highly stressed.
And how much nicer is it to receive a note or text from someone who clearly put thought and care into what they were writing?
So Just Stop! once a day – even just for 5 minutes in the afternoon, wherever you are in the world, breathe, be, look at beautiful inspiring pictures or even better, sit down or lie down on the grass…. under trees, somewhere in nature. It is summer everywhere afterall!
And if you feel you would like to create a deeper healthy renewal, join us for one of our Just Stop! Yoga Retreats in Ibiza. These offer an opportunity to properly detox the mind and the body with yoga, wellness, energy work, life coaching, cranio-sacral therapy, massage, reflexology and a gentle flow of naturally relaxing and rejuvenating de-activities…
Because this is the beauty of knowing when to Just Stop!.
We create space for the energy that we have put out….. to have time to spread its ripples and make waves in positive ways. It gives the universal synchronicities time to come into effect and this is when magical opportunities, possibilities and creations, somehow, amazingly….. take place.
So feel the magic in your life…. by doing less and receiving more. Allow life’s flow to carry you and….. look forward to the beautiful surprises that may be in store.
