Here is the next stage in my quadrant theory work, as of February 2013..
UPPER LEFT (UL) 'I' interior individualIntuition; developing my senses, and recognising that listening to my intuitive voice gives it the space to grow stronger. prioritising spiritual practices, making space for them in my day. checking in with myself often to see how I am feeling. Reconnecting to natural cycles, daily, monthly and seasonal, to restore and enhance balance within my life, the Artists way program, parenting progression- working on practical and progressive ways to enhance my family life and quality of time, by reading natural parenting books and seeking guidance from other mothers, and listening to (and trusting) my own sense of innate female wisdom. Identifying and working to release my own internal blockages and areas of stagnant energy. I have been increasing my knowledge and use of medicinal herbs to regulate hormonal imbalances and improve functioning of my organs to increase my emotional health
