This week the Stingy Nettle has taken centre stage, invoking metaphors and self-enquiry around the more prickly parts of ourselves and the nutrients that lie under them.

The Stingy Nettle has developed some spikey protective mechanisms to deter getting eaten.

On a metaphoric level, People do the same! 

Many of our protective mechanisms were formed as children and as adults, we are not always conscious of them, they can be overlooked as parts of our personality.

Like the Stingy Nettle we also have abundant gifts to share with the world and when we are in a more loving relationship with ourselves, we may feel safer and more motivated to connect with our gifts, creativity and passion, which in turn, is totally medicinal to the world!

What protective mechanisms are you aware of and how are they part of your character and communication? What creative passions are you wanting to connect to or share more of?

Hope you enjoy this moment to breathe. Let us know how you got on!
