Finding Creature Comforts Within

Hairy Comforting Story

Lucy’s hair began to grow in abundance out from her head, cascading around her shoulders, and falling down her back.

“What the Dickens?!” she exclaimed as her hand felt the weight of her new locks, then was immediately buried under it.

The grey sheen was prominent even more, making her appear like a grey lady. 

The throbbing in her throat felt like a binding fur collar, one she couldn’t open or release.

She slumped down the wall, hugging her knees in front of her, then lowered her head in defeat.

What is happening to me?  Lucy thought, as her hair enveloped her, spreading across the floor as if she was becoming a rather large shaggy rug with a massive lump in the middle.

On the upside, she noticed a sense of comfort being under all that mop of hair, protected, hidden from the world, like a safe haven to rest inside.

And so, she rested.

She laid down, cradling her head on her arm.

Her breathing became rhythmical, calm and gentle.

Musical gurgling sounds began within her stomach, as tension began releasing.

She surrendered to the stillness.

Within the stillness, a tiny little mound began its journey towards the centre, towards Lucy.

She opened her eyes as it carefully lifted the hair, directly in front of her.

Rupert’s little paw brushed his whiskers down his nose once, twice, three times.

She watched as it began to climb up her arm.

She just knew there was no sense of worry, no need for rising panic.  Just a sense of bemusement at this little creature.

She waited and felt the movement as his slight weight rested at her throat.

She felt the tiny cushioning pink paws as they were gently placed outstretched on her bare skin.

The sense of home flooded through her like a warm comforting hug.

She allowed her senses to open fully to his loving healing touch.

He nuzzled into her neck which brought a gentle breeze to her left side, and gentle tingling throughout her whole body.

She noticed how her breaths were becoming more easier joining the gentle beat of her heart like a little band.

Peace reined in the moment.

Colour began to seep back in and brighten her skin with a warm glow, bringing tears to her eyes.

The beat of her heart intensified, growing stronger.

She was indeed back home.

Back home in her body, returned to her heart.

The gurgle of her belly roared its agreement, sounding out the home coming celebrations.

The little mouse held fast, enjoying the sense of connection too.

“Thank you” Lucy smiled at him, her voice sounding strong.

She felt the warmth as he returned a tiny squeak, and nuzzled in further.

Rupert gently bobbed up and down on the smooth rise and falls of her breathing and smiled too.

Together, they were able to be and express themselves through thick and thin hair.

Expressing Ourselves Comfortably

How important is it, to be ourselves and express our true nature?

How nice is it when we receive daily care and comfort in whatever form it may take?

After all, we are all individuals with varying needs.

Our own creature comfort and care may be completely different to another beings.

We may be in a completely different space physically or mentally to someone else in the room, car, street, field, office, country, universe…

However, we all deserve to be comfortable.

Some people may have drifted far from their level of comfort due to events in their lives, childhood or adult trauma, state of health, surroundings, etc… 

The being next to us may be stuck in survival mode. 

They may be living day by day, minute by minute, expressing themselves through anger, pain, timidness, uncertainty.

They may be unable to think clearly or act rationally, due to: physical discomfort; biochemical imbalances; psychological concerns; or disturbances within electromagnet areas.

This may be us ourselves.

Please know, as long as we do our best, that is the best we can be at any one moment.

And… our best can vary and change, depending on how we are with all the above factors. 

However, it is still our best.

Are We Responsible?

Surely, we are not responsible for everyone else?

Is it our life mission, if we chose to accept it, to take care of ourselves, and fill our own buckets first?

Or is this selfish?…

…How can this be selfish?

…How can we possibly look after others, or be there for others when our battery lights are flashing red, or our buckets are almost empty?

Do Yourself A Favour

Are you ready to be nice to yourself?

Are you ready to fill your bucket and charge your battery?

Are you ready to be there for others whilst ensuring you feel full, to project a sense of strength and something to aspire to?

Are you able to help others by being in your own light, growing it, to show them it is possible for themselves to have this sense too?

After all, if we keep trying to do it for them, how will others ever be able to feel strong and full themselves?

…How will they be able to tune into their own intuition, and find their own light?

Finding Our Creature Comforts

What help are you receiving?

Are you receiving help both physically and emotionally?

If not, what is stopping you?

Going to the dentist 6 monthly is all about prevention, isn’t it? 

So why not make our own wellbeing and health a priority?

Wouldn’t it be great to prevent something that distresses us, from festering or dwelling on, depleting our life force, and affecting us later down the track?

Yes!  All we can do is give it a go. 

“Do or do not, there is no try”, as Yoda from Star Wars wonderful films kindly reminds us!

A problem shared is a problem halved.

Surely it is a sign of strength not weakness to reach out?

If you haven’t already seen the TED talk by Brené Brown on the power of vulnerability, it is a very interesting one.

Finding Inner Strength And Comfort

Do you have a tribe that supports you being you?

Is it more relaxing to be with others as ourselves, rather than using up all our essential energy to keep a fake front, or try and hide something we are not comfortable with?

Finding a professional who we feel comfortable with can help release trauma, discomfort, and unwanted thoughts we may dwell on.

A Therapist who can help us connect us to our bodies, our best friends, and become comfortable being ourselves, to understand our thoughts and feelings can be so comforting.

Can Holistic Kinesiology Help Me?

As you are reading this, you have either seen me, or are interested how Holistic Kinesiology can help you.

During a 1:1, online or in person, all of the above can be acknowledged, vented, heard, listened to, and understood.  Together, we can build comfort inside and out. This comfortable relationship with ourselves, can lead to building real solid relationships and comfort with others.

During an optimising group, connections can be forged both with ourselves and with others, whilst being with a like-minded tribe.  The only expression needed is through what we are doing.  There is the space to be quiet with ourselves, and explore ways to connect with, and understand ourselves.  And generally always time and space for some good light-hearted fun!

After all, being with others who we can be honest with ourselves can be so nourishing.

Here’s to finding more out about ourselves, to help be stronger and more comfortable.

Let’s get to know ourselves, and explore our intuition, our own inner knowing, to be assured to what is right for us.

Come and visit to find your very own bead baby to help you and your family on your way.

Here’s hoping we all can sense, and find, our very own essential creature comforts every day.

I look forward to seeing you soon.

Until then, I wish you the warmest inner cuddles,

Mandy xo
