Ok, so there was a little blip with this week’s live reading.
Those who managed to get on couldn’t clearly hear me and eventually dropped off. There were more of you who couldn’t get on at all.
I continued until the end - hopeful that the recording might at least be clear.
It wasn’t!
The win for me was that I didn’t panic and I continued on.
I completed the end, sensing that I was the only one there.
This morning,. I rerecorded the entire thing.
I didn’t feel great this morning so that likely shows.
However, I did leave feeling much better.
Which, to me, also shows the power and the magic of circle.
And what happens when you make space for yourself.
Even when its hard.
Join me for candle lighting, an arrival meditation, a two-part reading and space for gentle reflection in the form of an additional guided meditation at the end.
Together, we explore what happens when we finally begin listening to our bodies, recognise our needs and discover that healing often begins with awareness.
I share with you a recent personal example of the discomfort that this can sometimes bring. The resistance that shows up. The distractions that preoccupy us instead. How we can make space for all of it. And what happens when we do.
I’d love to hear how you found this bed time story type reading, what came through for you and anything else you’d like to share or ask.
An Invitation
Over the coming weeks, I’d love you to join me as we journey through the opening chapters of Migraine here on Substack.
Each Let’s Talk About… Live will combine:
🕯️ A candle lighting
🌿 An arrival meditation
📖 A live chapter reading
✨ A gentle guided meditation
💜 Insight sharing
💭 Questions and reflections
Think of it as less of a book reading and more of a circle.
A space to arrive exactly as you are.
There’s nothing to prepare.
The invitation, as always, is simply to come as you are.
You do not have to attend every one.
Simply choose the ones you have availability and capacity for and/or which speak to you most deeply.
Unlike my other circle offerings where we are all live on camera and sharing too personally to record, these will be available on replay.
Our third gathering
Let’s Talk About… When Pain Speaks and No-one Listens
Together, we’ll explore what happens when pain is dismissed by others, and what it takes to finally begin listening to ourselves.
🗓 Tuesday 21st July - and every Tuesday over (UK) summer
4pm BST
5pm CEST | 8:30pm IST | 11am EDT | 8am PDT
This is a free gathering.
A circle of people coming together.
A ceremonial space.
A gentle ritual of reflection in community.
A sanctuary to pause.
A haven to belong.
There will be no camera.
You’ll be able to see me. I won’t be able to see you.
Sharing in the comments is always an invitation, never an expectation.
Join us from your bed, your sofa, your favourite chair, or wherever you feel most comfortable.
Bring a cup of tea, a notebook or journal if you wish, or simply come to listen.
Come exactly as you are.
You are warmly invited.
Reserve your space for next Tuesday (21st July) here.
Pre-order The Book
If you’d like to follow the journey beyond these lives, you can also pre-order the book here:
Migraine: Root. Reclaim. Rise.
So far you can pre-order it through Waterstones here and The Great British Bookshop here.
Further links to order overseas will follow.
Whether you’ve been here since the beginning or you’ve only just found this space, thank you for walking alongside me.
Everyone who pre-orders the book will also be invited to an online Activation Ceremony on Tuesday 13th October 2026.
Simply email your order confirmation to amberhorrox@yahoo.co.uk once received.
Any questions - please ask
So far I’ve been asked a number of questions such as “will I enjoy this book?” and “is it too scientific?”. The latest is “are you going to have it on audio book?” (The answer is yes, but more likely next year).
I am loving all the questions so far!
They help me understand what you are looking for in a book and how I can tailor promotion of it.
Creating content around enquiries made helps me inform other potential readers who may be sat there thinking the same question.
Keep them coming!
There is no question too daft.
You can read the first round of Questions and Answers here:
Let's Talk About...The Book
From the moment the book went live for pre-order, so many thoughtful questions have been coming through.
