With so much coming to the surface for healing we can end up trying to process intense emotions while feeling overwhelmed by all the practical things we need to do.

I know it can seem counter-intuitive but it's at times like this that finding even ten minutes to meditate or do any kind of calming, centering practice is so important. It's also useful to take a long term view of your priorities. Are there any tasks that you can outsource, get help with, spend less time on for a while or move deadlines and expectations? Part of our response to stressful events needs to include reassessing our habitual routine and to-do list to see if we can cut down or get assistance until the event is resolved, rather than struggle onwards like superwomen or superman. That's a fast track to burnout.

To help with this the featured essence offer below will help you clutter clear your schedule and release perfectionism in favour of self compassion and self love. Janet Treloar gives us Zac's advice on how to have fortitude and there's collection of different meditations you can join regularly to regain perspective.

Scientist and author Gregg Braden explains how keep our heart in coherence with our mind to avoid inner conflict and Sarah McCrum invites us to open to the healthy energy of money. There's a free workshop on creating health through sound and another taking you on the sacred journey of the menopause.

If you enjoy mysteries you'll like the talk on a gnostic's view of the good serpent of Eden and channel Anne Tucker has a message about the upcoming solar flash. There's also a free workshop showing you how to decode your body's pain as intelligent signals and one on boundaries and trust.

Lastly I've recorded a second video about five of the most important aspects of personal growth.

What's the difference between essence guidance and an attunement? When giving guidance I ask which of the Spirit of Transformation blends you need now, when attuning for a personal blend for you the essences could come from anywhere in the natural world and the blend is unique to you.

'Once I started taking the Soul Gifts - Awaken Past Life Talents blend my artistic side began to emerge suggesting a new path in my business, helping me to bring joy, sparkle, and magic into people's lives through bodyart. It has also awakened my musical side. I followed your newsletter link to find my local rock choir and I'm now learning the guitar too. Also the essence has opened a flamboyant side to me regarding dress and appearance. What a lovely essence it has been, the strong emotions coming up have helped me begin to speak my truth. I've also had some strong past life dreams whilst taking it. It's been a bit up and down, but so worth it!' Jayne, Reiki Master and Healer, West Yorkshire

Is life draining because you're over-scheduled with things that don't light your fire? Are you feeling lethargic and mentally scattered? Do you need support to clutter clear your life? Do you have lots of ideas but get so swamped that you're never able to bring them to fruition? Are you finding it hard to get over a loss? Are you worried that someone close to you is going to die? 

These seemingly unrelated states of mind both come from an inability to believe you've done enough, so you over-do and you can't let go. Such a belief means that it's easy to feel guilty and even despairing. You may take on too much to show you care, that you're doing your duty or to feel you're being responsible: a good provider. partner, parent, mentor, practitioner, caregiver, role model etc.

This inability to discern how much is enough and to allow relationships and situations that don't serve you to fall away mean life gets cluttered and the truly important things get lost in to-do lists and overtime, Blackberry helps you see that letting go is necessary for growth. Like autumn leaves we need to allow things to fall away as they complete their cycle and, while loss can be very painful, it makes space for new growth, relationships, projects and experiences. 

When you take Blackberry it will both help you to prune back the areas of your life where you've been holding on to things out of a sense of duty or a fear of loss as well as help you accept the pain of letting go. Often what comes in to fill the gap is a chance to realise a project you've been putting off because you've been too busy. This project is likely to be something that expresses your unique essence because another quality of Blackberry is that it awakens talents from past lives that have not yet been fully developed. As it gets to work you feel less drained and more energised because more of your resources are going towards that which feeds your soul. 

Blackberry also has the very welcome quality of strengthening your connection to your inner guidance so solutions to problems suddenly become clear.

I don't sell single essences but you can find Blackberry in the Spirit of Transformation Soul Gifts - Awaken Past Life Talents and Pisces - Neptune blends. There is no discount on these.

It's also in the blend Feeling Safe - Trusting Life from Crystal Herbs, Use the general discount code for this - karmacoach10.

There are moments when the way we’ve been taught to approach life stops feeling sustainable.

The pressure to keep pushing - to do more, achieve more, and hold it all together - can start to feel disconnected from what actually brings a sense of meaning, ease, and fulfilment.

You may notice this as a questioning of the way you’ve been taught to relate to money, work, and success, or as a deeper longing to feel supported by your life, rather than drained by it.

There’s something many of us haven’t been taught: wellbeing and wealth are not separate pursuits but deeply connected expressions of the same underlying energy.

We invite you to join money consciousness teacher Sarah McCrum for a free online event to explore how accessing your natural state of wellbeing can begin to change the way you create value, make decisions, and experience financial flow.

For decades, Sarah has explored the energetic nature of money, integrating business leadership, personal development, and spiritual insight into a perspective that is both practical and quietly revolutionary.

As the author of Love Money, Money Loves You and a trusted guide to seekers, entrepreneurs, and changemakers around the world, she offers a rare ability to reframe money - not as a source of stress, but as a creative, relational energy that reflects how we live, contribute, and connect.

During this mind-opening hour, Sarah will guide you through a powerful experiential activation designed to help you directly feel what she calls the “well of being” - the underlying source of wellbeing that already exists within you.

From this place, decisions can feel clearer, opportunities more aligned, and wealth less about striving and more about the natural result of the value and wellbeing you share with others.

You’ll also explore how this perspective can begin to soften the pressure around money, helping you move beyond patterns of scarcity, overwork, or constant striving, and toward a more grounded, meaningful experience of prosperity.

If you’ve been desiring a different way to relate to money - one that doesn’t come at the cost of your wellbeing - this is a powerful place to begin.

'I’ve been singing Sarah’s praises everywhere, as she's brilliant, insightful, and wise. Her book, Love Money, Money Loves You, is a game-changer. If you want transformation around abundance, embrace Sarah’s work, and you’ll see results.' Marci Shimoff #1 New York Times bestselling author

'Until Sarah’s teachings, I'd never met money in a healthy way. The course helped me explore some of my unexplored assumptions about money in my life. I went from not being able to talk about money to realizing that its value is so great. It has this beautiful quality. It’s so good.'

What if the exhaustion, anxiety, and brain fog you’ve been feeling aren’t just psychological, but electrical?

• If your nervous system feels constantly overloaded
• If rest, processing, or staying positive doesn’t seem to shift things
• If the same emotional patterns keep looping back

There may be a deeper layer at play, one rooted in your body’s electrical system.

Join Eileen McKusick, founder of the Biofield Tuning Institute, on Tuesday, April 21 (April 22 UK time), for a free, experiential event. She’ll introduce you to the concept of your biofield, the bioelectromagnetic field that surrounds and animates your body, and how restoring its coherence can support greater balance, clarity, and resilience.

In this guided session, you’ll be led through “De-stress With Sound,” a biofield tuning experience using tuning forks and your own voice to help shift your system from dysregulation into a more regulated state.

Eileen teaches that every stressful experience leaves an imprint in your biofield. Over time, these can create “noise” that affects how you feel physically, emotionally, and mentally. Through sound, you can begin to clear that noise and return your system to a more coherent baseline.

During this event, you’ll discover how your biofield acts as a kind of navigation system, helping you interpret symptoms, stress, digestion, emotions, and energy, and how working with it directly can support your overall wellbeing.

You’ll also learn:

• How to improve your signal-to-noise ratio so your system functions more clearly
• A physics-based perspective on health that includes rhythm, charge, and resonance
• Ways to restore inner stability and self-regulation through sound
• How to reconnect with your body’s natural capacity for balance and repair

'Over the last 10 minutes of the session wIth Eileen, I felt better emotionally and mentally than I had in years. Afterwards, I noticed a rapid improvement in the injury that had been niggling me for several weeks. Since then I've been able to work out at the gym without pain. The psychological change that's stood out is that I feel freer to be who and what I really am as if I don't need to try to blend in with others.' Brendan D. Murphy Author of The Grand Illusion: A Synthesis of Science and Spirituality and audio-healing recipient

For many women, menopause arrives wrapped in confusion, silence, or a quiet sense that something is being lost.

But what if this transition isn’t a diminishment but a sacred reclamation?

Jane Hardwicke Collings has spent more than 30 years walking alongside women at some of the most profound thresholds of life. As a former homebirth midwife, retired registered nurse, and founder of the School of Shamanic Womancraft, her work is rooted in clinical experience and deep reverence for the cyclical nature of the feminine journey.

Through her years supporting thousands of women, Jane began to see a pattern that contradicted the dominant narrative. Where modern culture often frames menopause as a problem to manage, she recognised it as a powerful rite of passage - one that carries the potential for healing, renewal, and a deeper connection to purpose.

Her approach brings together the physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual dimensions of this transition, offering a more complete and meaningful understanding of what women are actually moving through.

In this free online event you can explore this expanded perspective - one that honours menopause as a sacred threshold rather than a condition to fix.

You’ll discover how this phase of life can become a time of profound transformation, where long-held patterns begin to unravel and a deeper sense of clarity, confidence, and self-trust can emerge.

You’ll also be guided through a shamanic drum journey designed to help you connect with your womb or womb space, offering a direct, embodied way to listen to your body and receive insight into your own path - whether you’re approaching menopause, in the midst of it, or reflecting from the other side.

What emerges from this experience is often a quiet but powerful recognition: that this stage of life holds meaning, wisdom, and an invitation to step more fully into who you are becoming.

'This work, especially the exploration of nature’s cycles and rhythms .... has been profoundly transformative for me. By working with Jane and the School, I’ve gained invaluable tools and maps that have allowed me to heal the ruptures from my own rites of passage. As a result, I’ve grown into a more present and grounded mother, partner, and sister, begun to unravel deep ancestral wounds, refined my teaching practice, and tapped into a completely different level of being.' Tahnee Taylor Yoga teacher and co-owner of SuperFeast

By acknowledging the past, we can heal not only the present but also the future. In this livestream workshop, we'll connect with our ancestors to bring through that healing.

Our ancestors are a vital part of our lives, on a personal level as well as collectively. They're reservoirs of wisdom, strength and insight.

However, they can also be a source of unresolved trauma and unacknowledged pain. In this workshop with Frances Billinghurst, we'll seek to heal those unresolved, unacknowledged parts.

This online workshop includes:

• Healing yourself as a gateway to living your life more fully
• Discovering the missing keys to unlock your fullest potential
• How to negate the influence of unprocessed collective trauma

When we acknowledge the past, we're able to not only heal ourselves, but we can set the stage for a healthier, more vibrant future for those who come after us.

• Developing trust in your own decision-making
• Accessible practices that can be applied immediately in daily life
