From Thought to Feeling: Experiencing a different kind of knowing through the embodied mind.

There have been moments where something arises from a deeper place within me. It comes unexpectedly and when I’m not meditating or focusing. It’s as if an awareness simply appears, and I know—without doubt—that it is true. It’s connected to the Inner Relationship Focusing work I do, yet it seems to emerge outside of Focusing and only after the inner shifts have had time to settle and integrate.

Body time is different to head time.

The body doesn’t unfold in the same linear way the mind does. This kind of knowing rises differently. It carries the sense of a deep, universal wisdom.

During Focusing images, metaphors, emotions, memories, words, realisations and shifts happen but this is something else. It feels as though nature is teaching me… or perhaps that I’m teaching myself, because I’m a part of nature.

I’ve realised that spending time “in nature” is not only about going outside. It’s also about bringing my awareness inward, into my own body. When I do that, I’m in relationship with nature/myself.

Recently I was reminded of this through someone who completed a nature-based quest and was advised not to share their experience. My curious part was deeply disappointed—because I’m someone who loves sharing. I share to inspire, to spark something in another. So let me share what arose for me.

A Teaching From Within: Lineage

I was sitting in my car when a sudden insight surfaced around lineage—its power, its importance. It wasn’t a thought; it was a knowing from the well of my being. A remembering.

I already understood lineage intellectually, but this was different. This felt like I was being shown, directly, the significance of the people who came before us—their struggles and their ancestral wisdom that still move through us.

Sacred Science vs. Modern Day Science

I’ve come to understand that external science is one realm, but the inner landscape holds something I can only describe as sacred science. This inner science operates from the principles of nature, of interconnectedness, of consciousness itself. It cannot be compared to the science that arises from textbooks!

When I’m in this space, it like stepping into a different reality—a reality where learning isn’t about intelligence, its about experience.

Rooted Like a Tree

This week, something new has been moving through my awareness. Focusing has been giving me a felt sense of being like a tree—my roots spreading downwards, grounding me. I feel steadier, less easily swayed by external noise or distraction.

I notice I would choose quiet or a Focusing session over a podcast. My body simply doesn’t want the noise. It wants stillness, and I’m honouring my inner wise council. There’s such beauty in appreciating the quiet, the subtle, and the natural.

There’s such beauty in appreciating the quiet, the subtle, and the natural.

And I’ve become more touched by kindness more than ever before. Acts of compassion move me in a way they never used to. I seriously FEEL them.

I’ve noticed ever increasing acts of kindness from me to myself.

A Deeper Understanding of Homeopathy

My connection with homeopathy has also deepened through this embodied knowing. I now understand the magnitude of the universal laws of nature that homeopathy rests upon—not just intellectually.

As homeopathy mirrors the principles of nature; it is a medicine that is as vast as consciousness itself. Its scope is endless, as is the number of substances on this planet that we can create homeopathic medicines out of.

I am a creative, inspirer, a sharer of knowledge and a homeopath, a focusing practitioner, nervous system mapper, lover of the work of Byron Katie, and a dedicated warrior on the spiritual path.
