The Art of Surrender
Welcome to the summer edition of The Mane Message! I’m so glad you’re here as part of this vibrant, growing community. In this issue, I’ll share some reflections and inspiration from a recent soul-replenishing trip to Italy. Let’s dive in!
Sweet surrender
There’s a certain magic in letting go—in loosening our grip, softening our pace, and allowing life to meet us where we are. Surrender isn’t about giving up—it’s about giving in to the natural rhythm that’s already carrying us. When we stop trying to force the flow, we remember we’re held. To surrender is to trust. To trust is to rest.
Let today be a gentle exhale. A quiet release. A sweet surrender.Tools to create space
Release and chase joy
Release
The more we try to control and steer life, the harder it feels. True freedom comes when we release the need to control. Remember: the Universe always has your back and knows the perfect way and timing. Offer up your desires, surrender control, and allow miracles to unfold.
Try this simple breathwork practice to anchor into trust:
Close your eyes and visualise a golden glow around your heart, like a radiant sun.
Inhale, silently saying: “I have unwavering faith in the Universe.” Feel the golden light swell and expand.
Exhale, saying: “I have absolute faith and trust.” Imagine the golden glow radiating outward into the Universe.
Repeat, like the rhythm of waves on the sand.
Seek beauty. Chase joy.
Life is here to be lived — not sleep-walked through. About a year and a half ago, I found Tarot… or maybe it found me. Since then, we’ve been inseparable. Tarot has helped me uncover my truth, connect with my authentic self, and rediscover deep inner joy. Now, I’m here to help you do the same — with Tarot as my guide. My mission? To love, accept, and honour myself so that I may blossom beyond my wildest dreams
… and to help you rise into your own magic too.
Be forever curious
How refreshing it is to throw caution to the wind—just like The Fool in the Tarot—and leap into new adventures. There’s magic in unfamiliar places, fresh experiences, and the spontaneous joy of simply saying “yes.”
Growth lives just outside your comfort zone. So if you can, explore this beautiful world in whatever way calls to you. And if a big adventure isn’t possible today, try shifting just one thing: take a different route, eat something new, or say “yes” where you’d normally hesitate.
