'Love alone is capable of uniting living beings in such a way as to complete and fulfil them, for it alone takes them and joins them by what is deepest in themselves... And if that is what it can achieve daily on a small scale, why should it not repeat this one day on world-wide dimensions?' ~ Pierre Teilhard De Chardin || Love is the driving force in our lives - to be loved and to love; our partners, children, family, friends and, not forgetting, ourselves. I realise I'm on a massive journey of self-love and acceptance. I've just scrolled back through my feed and noticed that I've been posting a lot of heart openers over the past few months which is a clear indication of this. Isn't it incredible how what's taking place on the subconscious level reveals itself within our asana practice? I feel so driven to clear the heart space in order to give, and to receive love, and it's working. The barriers I've built over the years are slowly breaking down and the love is beginning to filter through. The shift on the energetic level is revealed in the depth of the physical release that I've started to achieve in my backbends which stems from having trust and faith in my body to explore the asana a little deeper. Yes there are days when everything feels a little too much but there are also days when I experience a brief encounter with total freedom. Those days keep me moving forwards; driving my desire for love until one day I won't need to work so hard at it anymore. What does your practice reveal about you? Can you find a pattern within the asanas you find yourself practicing most often? 💜🌻 #haleyheals

I went to bed last night feeling low and sorry for myself. I had allowed myself to descend the slippery slope of comparing myself to others and, as we all know, comparison is the ruthless thief of joy. As I lay listening to the rain the message I received was this: Each and every time we compare ourselves we fail to recognise the many amazing qualities that we posses and in doing so, give away our power. All that which we see and desire in others is simply a reflection of us but somehow we get caught up in the false belief that we're not good enough (that old dragon rearing its ugly head again!) The next time we catch ourselves doing this we need to let it serve as a reminder of the beauty, love and numerous capabilities that we too possess. We are all loveable and worthy and capable of achieving so much more than we realise. We just have to BELIEVE ~💗~ #haleyheals

Where do you go to reconnect and listen for answers? For me it's always been the ocean. When I was a child I'd sit for ages just pouring my troubles into the sea and waiting for that small voice from within to speak up. This is my current special place along the Jurassic coastline which is known for its fossils and incredible rock formations. The stones are so warm here and reverberate an incredible sense of peace so it's an amazing way to ground and connect with the Mother 🌊💙 #haleyheals #meditatedaily
