The Pebble in my Shoe

Ep. 11 - No Mud, No Lotus - Mindfulness Podcast with Miffy Hoad

The Pebble In My Shoe - Ep. 11 - 'No Mud, No Lotus'
I usually have a guest but this episode is a replay of an episode of a Mindfulness Podcast that I produced during the Covid 19 pandemic in 2020.
The subject is No Mud No Lotus which is an expression used by Thich Nhat Hanh, a Vietnamese Buddhist monk who founded the monastery Plum Village in France and wrote and taught extensively on the subject of Mindfulness.
The idea of 'No Mud No Lotus' helps reframe our experiences and come to recognise that we can actually grow from adversity. I have come to choose to believe in life happening for us rather than to us and I hope that this help shine light on the how the mud in your life might actually help your lotus to bloom.
I speak for about 20 minutes on the subject and then guide you on a meditation for a further 20 minutes so you might want to sit and experience the second part.
However you choose to listen, I hope you enjoy it.

Ep. 2 - 'The Courage to Grieve' with guest Michelle Funke

‘The Pebble in my Shoe’ Podcast – Episode 2 - ‘The Courage to Grieve’
My guest, Michelle Funke, also known as Mich, is an Energy Healer and Soul Coach with a focus on grief and trauma.
In this episode, we are talking about bereavement and loss, the trauma of tragedy and the consequential healing journey. If you have been bereaved, please mind yourself in the listening. Maybe you need to listen at another time, or have someone with you while you listen, please do what is right for you. That said, Michelle’s story is also one of hope.
Her own experience of deep grief and trauma have led her on a painful and meaningful life path.
At the age of 21 her fiancé died tragically in a car accident. And if that wasn’t enough, she and her husband lost their sweet baby boy Conor in 2017. Michelle says “Through the tears and the gut-wrenching pain, I searched for a deeper meaning to it all. What I had known all along, deep down inside, surfaced into my conscious awareness: my own journey through grief and trauma had given me a unique gift—a deep soul calling and passion for holding space for others in their darkest moments.”
Michelle says, “healing is our birthright; we all deserve to heal!”
If you would like to get in touch with Michelle Funke or find out more about her work, see the details below:
Michelle offers individual online healing sessions as well as more comprehensive healing packages tailored specifically towards trauma and grief healing.
