Gathering the hands

Good afternoon friends,
Today I wanted to share another song with you from Xavier Rudd.

The song is called Gather the hands from his 2018 album Storm boy.

I really resonated with this song today & I thought I would share with you the lyrics.

The song is in the comments section if you wish to listen.

It’s a song that has so much resonance in today’s world.

We are overcoming this huge uncomfortableness of the unknown, because we are starting to see the knowingness of ourselves

Every day, I see more people uniting, coming together spiritually and sharing there compassion with one another, despite certain beliefs, keep bringing the loving hands up to the heavens people, we are lifting this veil together.

For those that aren’t yet there, when your ready, I’ll be here with my arms wide open for you and so will the rest of us that are following the infinite lovingly embrace of the light collective.

I will do the very best that I can to comfort you through these times.

Have an amazing day 🌸

Love always
Felicia

The Lyrics

She was delivered by the grace of his hands

Kindness, relentless, wired to be shared
People stood awkwardly and gazed across the room

She walked with such elegance in the places that she knew

Flawlessness, contagious, compassionate, engagement

In these hands I belong, in these hands you belong

Foolish, segregation, scars deep beneath the skin

Of the black man and the white man and everyone in between

Forever sacred was the feminine, right down to the final hour

When every baby to be taken was to be poisoned to be soured

Bodies turning in their graves and spirits waiting to go home

Disconnected from their holy place when the museum stole their bones

Cry freedom, still bleeding, still waiting for a reason

Throw these arms around the world, throw these arms around the world

Through the eye of a needle we tried to move the stone
So heavy from its history of shame and blood and bone

Gather the hands to move the stone
Gather the hands to move the stone
Sing it up to the Heavens
Let it rain down on us all

Good morning beautiful people, I hope you are having an amazing weekend and are feeling a little more revived with this awesome weather 🌞

As I have mentioned before, The Woman X Collective page is about shining the light on women who bring themselves to the forefront of their own worlds and implode love on what they do in their journeys.

Today I will be shining the light on a beautiful soul by the name of Alyce.

I’ve known this beautiful woman for many years but have recently reconnected with her since having my children.

I reached out to Alyce because my bestie Chantel said she knew her and that she had been providing certain services to her children and at that time I was looking for these particular services.

I have very fond memories growing up of Alyce, she was always a very calm embracing genuine loving person.

It didn’t surprise me that the career she had chosen was working with children.

She oozes loving mother qualities and even as an adult you feel safe and loved in her presence.

Alyce fine tuned her skills in the area of children and has completed a Bachelor of Psychology & Diploma in Youth Work and Early Childhood Education.

Her business S&H Youth established back in 2015.

As the name means it’s to Support & Heal Youth by supporting them through education, career, physical and mental wellness goals and to help them develop confidence in themselves and to want to be the best version of themselves.

Under this wonderful business umbrella she provides services for the below:

– Youth Wellness Mentor and Educator for children, teens and young adults

– Helping with career and education goals

– Tutoring, Babysitting, and Teaching Meditation and Yoga to children and families around Melbourne

– Focusing on positive and fun Holistic support and healing of young people so they can be confident learners and lovers of life!

In all complete honesty, I’m very iffy on who I leave my children with and with Alyce, I couldn’t imagine my children in safer hands.

She gives me peace of mind that while she is with my children, she is educating them, keeping them safe, providing a loving embrace and teaching them how to do fun things and tailoring these services to each child.

We love you Miss Alyce and thank you for existing in our world today, you make such a beautiful impact 🌸

Our own personal angel looking over our children 💓

I don’t know about you, but for the last few years I’ve been looking for self use pampering products that are kinder on my skin and kinder on the environment.

I was lucky enough to try these beautiful products last night under the new moon.

And let me tell you, setting my loving intentions had never been more relaxing and invigorating at the same time.

Being a mum is hard work and when the kids have gone to bed, the bathroom is my go to place and my time to spend some much needed pampering on myself.

Having products that are ethically made, good for the body, mind and soul and safe on the environment, it’s a win win on all corners.

Be Kind. is a new venture for this awesome chick and she has more amazing products up her sleeves being trialed and tested for your self pampering needs.

The signature coffee scrub is a scrub for all your senses. It leaves your skin feeling butter smooth, silky, moisturised, invigorated and refreshed.

Clearing

For many years, I’ve learnt new ways of clearing my energy and connecting with my inner self.

Maybe it reigns back to my ancestral lines but one clearing that always seems very prevalent in my existence today is that of the singing bowl.

The sound healing really helps me centre my being and creates a beautiful calm space.

I have learnt to use my singing bowl as part of my everyday mindful practice alongside other little things I do.

I sing my bowl for my children and my husband before they go to bed or when they feel stressed.
It instantly makes them calm and you can see the magic happen when they open their eyes after receiving a sound bath.

It truly is a beautiful method of healing.

I don’t always use my own bowl, I sometimes look up on Spotify Tibetan singing bowl music or crystal bowl sound healing music.

The music that comes from these bowls is a frequency of the divine universe and what I would like to think is the universal heart beat.

It gets me into my zone and in a space of clarity to listen to my own being, especially if I’m finding it hard to quiet my mind and If I’ve had a really dramatic day.

I have put a link in the comment section of a sound healing that you may want to listen to one day, to help centre your mind and start listening to your own inner being and what they might be telling you 💓

Love.

While my baby Roman sleeps and I distract Maks with Dinasour tv and cookies, I get to sit with myself and listen to within.

Today messages have come in thick and fast and I thought I’d share my space with you.

This here is very new for me.
Sharing apart of me a little differently.

Through these restrictions and lockdowns, I have recently started to fall in love with myself again, I took my hair extensions out, I’m plucking my own eyebrows and I’m feeling confident within my own skin.

I feel like I’m no longer hiding and my energy is taking some really big shifts.

I’m learning more and more about myself daily.

Here is short a poem I put together regarding my feelings on the world today and I’d like to share it with you all.

It’s called:
Sitting with my Energy

This is my space, this is my dome, this is where my wild free thoughts roam.

I sit with patience to receive the messages, calling from within my heart beat is that of the sacredness of our human collective.

We long for our eye to open, to see the things that we cannot see, to feel the beautiful things that our loving heart sings.

We will get through this, we will transpire.
We will get what our true heart desires.

Love is conquering this earth plain, swirling and twirling throughout our human membranes, bringing about certain energies that only your true heart see’s, all you are asked to do is believe.

Believe we are one, believe we will overcome.
Believe is a choice for you to uphold and feel the blessings that will begin to unfold.

Love is here, love will stay. Believe you me, this love will set you free.

This chaos will stop, but the truth needs to prevail and in this process you will need to breath in and exhale.

I love you all and thank you 💓

Balance

This afternoon I’ve tried mulling over a few words to express my gratitude for the people that are walking into my life.

I feel love. I feel light. I feel honoured.

This is the very quintessence of what this page is about.

Balance in her natural form.

Thank you sister, I’m so glad my heart resonates with yours 💓

Seeking spiritual balance in this very noisy world

A few years back, I wanted to learn more ways of protecting myself energetically, I really needed it within my home and with all the energies I encountered throughout my days.

I was always very open and certain energies would just stick to me and suck the bloody life out of me.

It wasn’t until I fell pregnant with my first child that I learnt how important these techniques are.

I had a light bulb moment today rocking my son to sleep, that sharing these techniques with you all will help stop the feeding of fear that is coming across our internet feeds and help focus on shifting the collective.

I’m not sure about you but for me I always feel that I’m somewhat wanting to protect the people I love the most from harm and when I do this mindfully and put these techniques I have learnt into play, not only do I protect them but I filter that protective energy light back into myself.

A book that has really helped me is called Spiritual balancing – A Guidebook for living in the Light by Diana Burney.

I recommend that if you are seeking ways to help protect yourself energetically and are new to doing this, this book will help you without all the fluff.

It’s straight to the point and easy to understand.

This technique works as a catalyst and will amplify your energy. Creating a bubble around you.

It’s very simple and very easy to do. You can say it out loud or to your self, the most important part is that you visualise it.

You can do this as many times as you feel necessary throughout the day whenever you need it.

First a little background on the Violet Fire.

The Violet Fire, also known as the Violet Transmuting Flame and the Sacred Fire, is one of the most powerful vibrational frequencies and enters our energetic field of vision as the ultraviolet and violet.

The frequency operates to open your crown chakra and connect us to source/god.

The Violet flame is a current of energy that has been qualified to seize negativity and disharmony and transmute it into a higher frequency vibration. (Refer to the picture I have also posted to help with visual)

THE TECHNIQUE:

1. (Say outloud or to yourself) I AM the Violet Flame. This connects your I AM Presence directly with the Violet Flame.

2. (Say out-loud or to yourself) Dear Mother/Father God or Source, Please surround me (and/or my home/person) in the blue bubble of Divine power, the gold bubble of Divine wisdom, and the pink bubble of divine love. Thank you.

It helps to visualise the bubble and or an energetic cord, where you filter the colours going directly into them through the cord and it illuminating their whole body.

Remember you are sending LOVE and a powerful loving and embracing frequency through this cord.

Once you have done this, you will instantly feel it. If you have to do a couple time’s do it, but trust it is working.

I have displayed some pictures to help you with the visual.

Thanks everyone and stay safe

💓🌸

Have you reached this level yet?

Mate, let me tell you!

The last couple of months have been an absolute blur.

I couldn’t put words together, I was completely sleep-deprived and I just wasn’t myself.

We were out of isolation but I still felt isolated.

I couldn’t understand why Maks wasn’t sleeping like the champ we taught him to be and it was making me a hot mess.

Not just because of him, but because I still had Roman in my bed from co sleeping and breastfeeding.

Yes I know, old habits die hard.

So NOW we had two kids in the bed.

A toddler that fly kicks you in his sleep & a baby that wakes every 45 minutes searching for ya boob like one of those suction fish. (You know what I mean, if ya seen the meme)

Lucas and I had not been alone together for a full night sleep in 9 months… it was a shit feeling for us and we missed each other.

I missed just being on my own. No one touching me. No one sticking their feet in my pj pants to keep their feet warm (Maksim) or scratching my eyeballs out when feeding (Roman).

I love my kids, but I also love myself and it was time I kicked ‘em out.

After having a relaxing date night last week, spending time with my best mate and talking about how crazy our life had become, I decided that from this week it was time to kick old habits to the curb and face my fear of putting my kids to sleep and being consistent about it.

I actually became so anxious about bed time that I would give in every single time just not to hear them cry. It was killing me.

I was becoming a snappy so and so.

I wasn’t parenting they way I wanted to because I wasn’t F$?@ing sleeping.

So with a few chin checks from the weekend, it was decided that Monday night those kids were in their own god damn beds!

Monday rolls around, our night time routine starts and BAM the anxiety starts but it was subtle. I had control this time.

I put the kids in bed and the crying begins. I go in every couple of minutes to try and resettle and it doesn’t work.

The anxiety reaches my throat and I start to melt down.

Lucas looks at me and says “STOP GOING IN THERE” I look at him, I sit down.

I stare at the monitor and look at my kids crying and being bloody needy.

BUT after 15 minutes it starts to get less and less. Roman is starting to settle and Maks is finally getting the picture that we are just going to keep putting him in his bed until he understands once AGAIN that it’s sleeptime.

I keep repeating in my head, they are safe, they are loved, they are fed, they are warm. They don’t need me right now.

THEN BAM. Silence, both kids are asleep. I didn’t know what to do with myself. I knew I wasn’t out of the woods, but I knew I had made progress. This was the first step.

Since Monday, we have continued our routine, I had techniques flood back from sleep school and we have been going strong since. I know we still have a long way to go and sleep disruption can happen at any stage but GOD it’s been a good feeling to get a good solid 4 or 5 hours sleep again.

HELLO, I’m even writing again!

What I learnt from the last couple of days is that sometimes you just gotta give in, give in to yourself.

Do what you gotta do and trust that you CAN do it. This applies to absolutely everything that redeems positive outcomes.

I was so close to just going back to sleep school because I thought I couldn’t do it again, that I was going to fail.

But so far so good. If I need to try knew techniques I will, if I have to go back to sleep school (which I know I wont) I’ll do it.

Because I need peace, I need rest and I need these things to be the best mother I can be. Because this is my life and I’m bloody good at it. Doing life that is and of course being a mum.

Thanks for letting me share, thanks to my kids and to myself for allowing me to rest. And thank you wook for doing this with me and being the champion you are. I love you.

HAPPY FRIDAY MY FRIENDS 🌸

I-SO teach myself patience

I know so many parents out there are trying to keep it together whilst in isolation and I just want to let you all know, your doing all such an amazing job considering the circumstances!

We don’t have our village to ask for that physical extended help but just think for a moment how resilient we are going to become after this.

We are teaching ourselves a new way of living, some of us have had to make huge adjustments and others only small. But in the end we would have had to change something to accommodate what’s going on in the world.

Some are home schooling, some are working ridiculous amounts of hours to keep up with the essential services, some are working from home and others just can’t bloody socialise face to face like we used to (me, thats me… hanging for that first family/friends group wine o’clock catch up in person)

But just because we are locked up to an extent doesn’t mean we have to have a spotless house and reorganise everything like the memes have been telling us we should OR that we gotta bake like we are super productive in the kitchen, because I can assure you, I am not that person even before this out break.

Instead, I’ve been doing the things that make me feel somewhat mentally ok.

I’ve been getting out walking 2 times a day, doing yoga when possible and making it a fun time with the boys.

It’s really amazing what physical movement will do for the mind.

This whole isolation made me feel really terrible in the beginning and I was watching the News way to much, I was feeling the weight of the worlds problems through the TV. People loosing there jobs and people dying, it was making me so sad that I had to just stop watching it all together. Not that I didn’t care for those people or take in how serious this virus has been on the world but I just didn’t want to keep contributing that energy out into the universe.

I needed to tune into a new way of thinking and how I was going to survive through this time and hopefully spread some optimism rather then fear.

So I’ve decided to make patience my best friend through this time, especially with the kids and on that note my eyebrows lol.

Because this will pass and when it does, we are going to be different. And it will be a good different and I’ll have better shaped eyebrows and I’m so exited for it 🥰

We love

Relearning motherhood

I’m one of those gals that listens to a song, falls in love with it and in the moment says to thy self “this song is the soundtrack to my life”….

As I was driving to Croydon, about an hour drive from my house to go get a miracle colic mixture that was recommended by my sister in-laws friend.

I had the opportunity to listen to one of my favourite songs by Jose Gonzalez called Stay Alive.

I first fell in love with this song watching one of my favourite movies The Secret Life of Walter Mitty.

(This movie by the way showcases some beautiful places in the world and has a great soundtrack and gives me the heart felt inspiration I need in my daily life every time I watch it)

Anyway, back to my driving thoughts.

The song made me realise what and how I was feeling, which I haven’t been able to do in a while.

As the song was playing, I would glance through the revision mirror looking at my children thinking “geez …I’m pretty lucky” and I guess the song was helping me understand that my life is about living for them now, but another part of me told me not to forget myself.

Unfortunately, as I had went through these highs and lows of emotions after giving birth (that I didn’t experience with my first son) it made me realise that I had forgotten about my self in a lot of ways and it was so bloody easy to do… and it has only been 8 weeks.

But just as the universe intends, you have to go through it in order to appreciate what it is that you’re doing, right?

So, of course this long drive with my music to get this miracle mixture to help my son be relieved from his colic pain has given me the opportunity to appreciate and understand where I am at right now.

It’s been a tough 8 weeks and I’m not joking, it has probably been one of the most rude awakenings I’ve ever experienced.

In regards to myself and my patience, in regards to my thoughts about raising children, in regards to my relationship with my husband and with that fact my relationship with everyone.

I don’t think I ever expected to really look at myself in this sort of way. But again, who am I kidding. We live in a time where self evaluation is the key to living an honest and happy life, which I have come accustomed to.

Not that I thought I was the #perfect mother and I had parenting all figured out but I found it really easy to look after one baby.

Add another child into the mix, especially one that has had colic and it was like …WOW what the hell have I gotten myself into.

But I know in my minds eye these times wouldn’t last long and I have to live up the chaos that is.

I’m not writing about this to scare new parents or people planning to have more than one child, I’m simply just saying that I, ME, have found it a tad more challenging than I thought it would be.

Not that I was hoping it’d be a walk in the park, just like my first but that’s exactly what I was hoping for…. gosh how ignorant I was. BIG LOLs.

I had so many people say “WOW you’re out of the house early, you just gave birth. You’re so good.”

But in all honesty I got out of the house to save my sanity and deal with my mental state.

Walking through parks or just walking in general makes me feel so much better and I find it a way to help cope with my thoughts.

Plus, I could walk… some women can’t depending on the trauma they had during birth.

If I didn’t get out of the house, I would have gone crazy and the melt downs I did have would have been 10 times worse.

There has been lots of tears & adjustments and I know from speaking with other parents, they know it happens.

Whether it be parenting one or more than one child, it’s just something you have to endure until it gets better. And it always does gets better.

In saying all of this, we need to give ourselves a round of applause because doing this makes us resilient superstars and carves us into being incredible human beings.

Now that I’m seeing the end of the newborn phase and my precious Roman is getting bigger and hoping this colic mixture actually works, we are going to move on with our lives and get out of that bubble. Because it is very easy to get stuck in that bubble.

It’s crazy and I wouldn’t change it for the world, and I’ll probably do it again……one day…. in a couple of years….NOT anytime soon….. but I’m sure I will end up doing this again and it’s going to be a crazy ride but I’ll end up loving the experience nonetheless.

Over and out, got mumma duties to attend to!

Love Fe
