Rekindling the Underworld
“I desire more connection to my intuition.”
It’s one of the most common things I hear at the moment.
I notice it in myself too: if I don’t ‘check in’ with myself before reaching for my phone, I’m gone. Lost in the noise of messages, feeds, and news. If I don’t connect inward, I start consuming immediately, no wonder I can develop indigestion before I’ve even had breakfast.
When did it become a prescription to:
Drink two litres of water.
Get in 10,000 steps — counted.
Lift weights to “survive” menopause.
As a doctor of Chinese medicine, of course I have scripts and treatment protocols, that’s my training. But when almost everything is taken out of our own hands, it’s no wonder intuition is hard to find. It isn’t our fault. We were never taught how to listen.
Think about it: years spent in classrooms being told to eat the bell rings, when and how to ask permission to pee, raise a hand to speak, memorise information, then regurgitate it under pressure. Devastating for any inner voice.
So it’s not surprising that we struggle to identify which voice to follow now. The endless loops of possibility, the restless 3 a.m. thoughts. Which is conditioning? Which deserves to be trusted?
This is where guidance becomes so powerful. In Eastern traditions, practices were passed down by masters. In our time, an entire industry of coaches and healers has risen. Not by accident, but because this kind of guidance is needed and deeply desired.
The question then is: what are you looking for?
If you’ve followed all the rules and still feel something is missing, in your health, your energy, your clarity — this may be the missing piece: reconnecting with your own underworld.
When I ask a client simple questions — How does that feel? If you close your eyes, what do you see? — the clarity can be astonishing. The body speaks. The underworld opens. And when that connection is made, symptoms shift so much easier. Even chronic pain and mysterious patterns that never found a diagnosis, can begin to transform.
This isn’t about rigid postures or prescriptive regimens. It can be as simple as journaling, acupuncture, qigong, dance, or somatic practice, spaces that draw us back into the body without someone else’s dogma telling us what to do.
This is a big part of my work now: not handing you another checklist, rather creating space, using somatic practices along with body work and qigong. Helping you rekindle your underworld — and with it, your power to heal.
Healing is a miraculous process. You are miraculous, and so am I.
I’m interested in real change. If someone here speaks to you and you’d like to build more on your inner wisdom and knowing, I’d love to support you 🌹
