Honouring Brigid and the Divine within you
Description
Happy Brigid for 1st February! As well as working with the energies of this special time of year, there’s the potential for therapeutic time travel and giving yourself the gift of silence.
As we move into February by honouring the Irish Goddess Brigid and the part of YOU (whatever your gender) that is Divine, as well as working with the seasonal energies of the Celtic Wheel of the Year (renewal! Strength! Energy! Creativity!), we’re also exploring (with embodied journalling prompts) past, present and future. And the power of silence!
And to thank Half Moon (free subscribers) and Full and Super Moon (paid subscribers) members of the Sole to Soul Circle there’ll be some bonus content winging its way to your inboxes tomorrow (a Past/Present/Future Brigid Oracle Card reading) and a deeper dive on Thursday (preparing for Brigid with a simple self healing ritual – complementary, ALWAYS SEEK APPROPRITATE MEDICAL ADVICE – for your whole household).
Let me know how you get on.
Le grá (with love),
Evei

Welcome to this new episode and this new month with the Feel Better Every Day podcast. We're moving into February. I know that it's technically still January, but we're honouring Brigid, the goddess and the saint for Brigid on 1/2/25.
It became a national holiday here in Ireland just last year or the year before, and it just feels appropriate as we move into February content as well as connecting with the goddess or god within you and treating yourself with all the love and care and compassion that you and everyone else deserves.
It's an opportunity to welcome yourself back to your body and to really think in all sorts of ways how would you be treating yourself if you genuinely loved and cared about yourself and always remembered that you are part of the divine.
Brigid, also known as Imbolc, is part of the Celtic Wheel of the Year where we celebrate spring and it's early February, so it always surprises me that we're celebrating spring so early, but it's like those first little shoots of growth, the beginning of the return of the sun and it's really about hope and light and warmth and bringing it back and cultivating it within yourself, recognising that renewal of your own strength and energy and creativity.
It's a lovely time of year, I mean the whole year is a lovely time of year. I'm recording this in January and we've actually got snow outside and it's beginning to melt and seeing those green leaves below it is that sense of Brigid coming in less than a month. But I want you to think for yourself, how would your self care, how would your days be different, what would you be doing differently, how would your environment be different if you knew with every fibre of your being that you are part of t
