Welcome
A little intro for you
Welcome to my Substack, I am very happy you found your way to my little corner of the internet!
My name is Paula Gibson, I’m based in Ireland but I am a traveller at heart. Over the years I’ve felt that I have a lot to share on many topics to do with healing, spirituality and my 14 year journey with Cacao, but I’ve felt increasingly frustrated (as most of us have) with the limitations of social media and its short attention span and ever changing algorithms.
So I felt it was time for a longer form outpouring of my thoughts and experience. I wanted somewhere to explore the inner patterns that shape our lives in a slower, more thoughtful way.
So much of my work is about diving below the surface to what is calling to be seen, and exploring with a loving curiosity the ways in which all that we experience physically, emotionally, and relationally is influenced by subconscious beliefs, unprocessed experiences, and deeper spiritual agreements we’ve long forgotten.
This will be a space to explore the magic and power of the inner world.
I’ll be writing about the language of the body and the wisdom within symptoms, the beliefs that shape our world around us, the emotional patterns that keep us repeating the same loops, and how to create a different reality from the inside out by breaking those loops and installing new beliefs.
“When you change the way you look at things, the things you look at change.”
— Wayne Dyer
I’ll share reflections from my years working with ceremonial cacao, as well as nuggets of wisdom I received from my late mentor and friend Keith Wilson, “the chocolate shaman”, who I spent 3 years with in Guatemala, as well as many more online.
I will also explore conscious conception and the mental, emotional and spiritual preparation for welcoming new life, and share stories from my beautiful clients who have had incredible shifts and realisations from this work.
More than anything, I hope this becomes a grounded, reflective space. A place to slow down, question inherited narratives, and return to a more authentic relationship with yourself.
You can expect a new post each week (ish). While I do believe in consistency, I also believe it’s important to follow inner rhythms, as well as the shifting energies of the monthly cycle, so some weeks I may have many posts to share, other weeks I may have none.
Some pieces will offer insight and perspective, others stories, reflections, or gentle starting points for your own exploration. If you feel called to go deeper, I also work one-to-one supporting people in uncovering subconscious patterns and creating meaningful change from the inside out.
If this resonates, you’re very welcome here.
