Petra's Healing Journey

So I am safely tucked away in ‘The Burrow’, nestled in the Moffat hills. It’s a fantastic little space, lovely and warm, with a cosy comfy bed, a wood burner, and a balcony to sit on, to enjoy a warm cuppa and admire the stunning view 🥰

I feel incredibly lucky to be here, I’m very grateful to my sister Phillipa and her husband Andy for offering me this much needed sanctuary.

They lived in this little space with 3 dogs, for 6 years, while they built their lovely house from a ruin. They’ve done an incredible job, their house is just beautiful. Andy did nearly everything himself, with my sister as his apprentice. He’s a very clever and very hard working man. My sister is very lucky woman!

I’m loving being away from the relentless buzz of the city. Time is passing so fast!

I would move down here in a heartbeat 💓

My daughter isn’t quite ready to let go of my apron strings just yet tho, and her job is in the city. Hopefully soon I will be able to escape to the country!

I’ve been focussed on trying to get my fundraiser onto the many social media platforms out there, but it’s been challenging.

In true ADHD stylee I got sidetracked into making a page about alternative treatments, which would require constant content and monitoring, and considering my aversion to social media, I realised that was madness. So I took it down and refocused on my fundraiser, as if I don’t start pulling some money in, I’m not gonna be able to keep going with my treatments, and now I know they’re working, to have to stop would be heartbreaking 💔

Yesterday, for some reason, Facebook told me they were taking down my page, but haven’t told me why. The only interest I seem to have created on social media so far is from people who want me to pay them to help promote my campaign. On further inspection, these people appear to be scammers. The world seems to be full of people trying to make money by stepping on other people, it’s really sad 😔

I don’t like social media at the best of times, and I’ve found this all pretty stressful 🤯

I ended up creating another couple of fundraising pages on other platforms, in the hope that I might get some more donations, and I’ve also applied to MacMillan Cancer for a £200 grant for people with cancer who are on a low income.

I also emailed Angelina Jolie, Taylor Swift and Elon Musk! 😂

Apparently they’re pretty generous people 🤔

As they say, ‘Shy kids get no sweeties!’

I’ve got nothing to lose by trying.

Nothing is impossible!

My other project is creating a YouTube channel, which I hope will be helpful for other women with DCIS, to let them know we have choices, and to let people know about the natural and alternative treatments I’m doing.

(I will post a link as soon as it’s up and running)

Haven’t had much time to do any writing yet, but once I’ve managed to get my videos uploaded to YouTube, I can focus on relaxing and writing 🥰

I’m editing my first video today, with the help of my brother in Finland, who has been an amazing support to me throughout this journey. He’s been going through his own spiritual awakening, and recently came over for my niece’s wedding. It was the first time I’d seen him in over a decade. We meditate together every day, and my mum joins us now, which is lovely 🥰

I’d been trying and failing to get her meditating for years. She is now sleeping better than she ever has before, which is just brilliant! 🧘‍♀️

If I could get my daughter meditating every day, I would be absolutely over the moon! In this day and age, with so much anxiety everywhere, meditation should be as intrinsic a part of everyone’s daily practice as brushing our teeth!

This is the meditation we did last night which I sent to her 🩷

Find a quiet space, switch everything onto silent, and give yourself the gift of this short meditation 🧘‍♀️

Dr Brian Weiss is the author of the book Many Lives, Many Masters, which changed the way I viewed life and death, and made me truly believe in reincarnation. It paved the way for my spiritual awakening. An amazing book, I can’t recommend it enough 🩷

I hope you have a wonderful day!
