Yin Yang Journey

In the depths of despair, we find ourselves questioning the very essence of our existence. But amidst the storms of life, there lies a profound truth waiting to be discovered. Like a lotus emerging from the mud, our struggles pave the way for transformation. Through darkness, we learn to appreciate the radiance of light.

Our journey is one of profound purpose, navigating through the spectrum of human emotions to find meaning in every experience. Just as the yin and yang dance in harmony, we cannot fully grasp the beauty of life without acknowledging its shadows.

Yet, why do we find it so challenging to embrace the gift of existence? Trapped in the monotony of daily routines, we yearn for something more, something that nourishes our souls. Even when our bodies feel weighed down by the burdens of life, nature beckons us with its divine inspiration.

With every gust of wind and crash of waves, we are reminded of our connection to something greater. Yet, too often, we find ourselves confined by fear and societal expectations, hesitant to break free from the chains that bind us.

But there are moments, fleeting yet profound, when we taste the sweetness of liberation. In those instances, we are bathed in the light of love and joy, experiencing a glimpse of our true essence. Yet, as quickly as it comes, it slips away, leaving us longing for more.

In the midst of our mundane existence, we cling to these moments of transcendence, dreaming of the next opportunity to reconnect with the divine. For it is in those moments that we find solace, that we find ourselves closer to the essence of God.

So, let us not be afraid to stray from the beaten path, to embrace the unknown with open arms. For it is through our willingness to explore the depths of our souls that we truly find the light we seek.

Lunar Eclipse

Like a shadow, like a dark veil, like a harsh grip of an unrelenting storm, you slowly enveloped me, saturating my being with introspection, contemplation, and profound thoughts. Amidst the obscurity, uncertainty, and tears, I found myself yearning for a transformative journey. In the midst of this somber shroud, I felt a constriction, longing for clarity, struggling to discern a purpose. All I perceived was a coldness in my soul, an absence of gratitude, and an unyielding burden of judgment, both from external sources and from this internal ‘entity.’

The world’s energies felt like daggers piercing my heart. Why did they seem so cold, so judgmental, so critical? Where had kindness and compassion gone? Was I alone in this journey? I longed to escape this darkness, to free myself from the chains of non-acceptance and rejection, both from within and from the world. All I craved was love – to give it and receive it. Why did people appear so insensitive, so cruel, so indifferent? Why couldn’t they show empathy, understand, and treat each other with tenderness? Was pride the formidable armor that encased their hearts? It was all rooted in fear.

I carried the weight of the limitations that people imposed on themselves and how this energy reverberated through humanity. We came into this world to be authentic, to express ourselves freely, to love and be loved. We were meant to experience and create beauty, unity, and moments of grace. Why choose division? Why persist in fear? Why limit your potential? In truth, the act of self-imposed separation only isolates us from the interconnected whole, for we are all one.

Let love be your essence, your conversation, your embodiment. The more love you radiate, the higher the collective vibrational frequency becomes. This is a collective effort, and all of humanity reaps the rewards. People long for kindness and love. They desire to feel it, transform with it, and become beacons of love themselves.

I once felt inadequate, small, and disconnected, but not alone, for I was never severed from the source. A veil temporarily obscured my inspiration, my love, and my radiance. Instead, I dwelled in pettiness, sorrow, and inertia, devoid of faith. It was as if the switch of life had been turned off.

Then, as the Taurus Lunar eclipse on October 28th concluded its phase, the veil dissipated. Suddenly, everything was crystal clear, and the weight disappeared. I smiled, wondering why and how this transformation occurred. The veil had descended over a month ago, ushering in a period of self-doubt, self-punishment, and self-condemnation. I felt weak, unable to fully defend myself or understand and accept my own worth. It’s a daunting place to lose oneself. My greatest fear is losing my core self, the one that sustains, inspires, and connects us to higher realms—the self brimming with love, beauty, and abundance.

Without that self, life loses its meaning. The ego self reacts intensely, taking things personally, defending, and fighting, which only intensifies suffering. It may seem like it’s protecting you, but it’s only guarding an illusion of who you are, detached from your true essence.

You are a tremendous source of energy, capable of creating magic and radiating love. What happens in this three-dimensional reality is but an experience, designed to teach, transform, and help you understand your true potential. You are here to know yourself fully, to comprehend how everything affects you and propels you toward your true self.

Never lose sight of your essence, the richness within you, and your boundless potential as a creative being! Above all, transcend any limitations, nurture self-love, and love others as if they were one and the same soul. The concept of separation is nothing more than an illusion in the grand tapestry of existence.

Annoying people!

Imagine someone who irritates you, someone who gets on your nerves in less than a minute! Someone who contradicts you, someone who doesn’t understand you, someone you don’t understand either—how can they think the way they do or act the way they act? You can’t grasp what drives that person to do things that are “unthinkable” or without explanation to you. And because you don’t understand, it frustrates you, and you think about it for hours or even days on end. You replay it like a cassette tape on repeat because it simply confuses you. You can’t accept it, and at the same time, a desire arises within you to control something you dislike, something that doesn’t fit your standards. You feel indignant, the need for the other person to change what they did, what they said, or even their way of being because it’s not right to you! You need an apology, you need that person to acknowledge their wrongdoing, and for you to be right! Or at the very least, for them to recognize you!

Why? Have you ever thought about it? Why do we get so irritated by things/people we can’t change? Simply put, they’re not like us! But you don’t like it; it’s hard for you to accept, and you keep hitting a wall every day about something that happened days or hours ago. You keep reliving it endlessly, hoping that it will change out of the blue. Or you waste time playing scenarios in your head about what you could say, do, or completely modify!

What if I told you that this isn’t you? How you feel in these moments is an indication of disconnection from your true self. When you find yourself in a negative space, it’s your inner being telling you that your thoughts are not in harmony with your true self and its beliefs. And why is that? Because your true self comes from love! A love that encompasses everything and everyone, that doesn’t judge, condemn, or have expectations—it simply accepts.

On the other hand, your Ego believes in separation, injustice, victimhood, anger, justification, and aggression. The Ego simply lacks the ability to see the bigger picture, unlike your inner being that comes from love. The Ego is tempting; it likes attention, drama, and the feeling of importance. It doesn’t trust, doesn’t believe, always trying to preserve itself and justify its existence.

If you believe in yourself, have faith in yourself, love yourself, and feel at peace with yourself, nothing anyone does to you will bring feelings of revolt but rather compassion, even if the other person has done something considered “so negative.”

Negativity and positivity, right and wrong, are subjective; they are not absolute truths! Therefore, we cannot govern ourselves by these imposed and learned standards!

The choice is in your hands: how to react and the perspective that resonates with your being. The right answer is revealed in how you feel! Sometimes it’s difficult, I know, but trust your inner compass. If you don’t feel good, it’s because your decision doesn’t align with the vibration of your soul/inner being. If you feel good, then believe that it’s for you, it’s the right answer, it comes from the right place, and it’s the response that your being believes will benefit you the most.

Try changing the narrative! And if it’s difficult, try letting go of the thought altogether! Shift your vibration to something more positive, think about something you like, people you love, people who make you happy, or events, your pets—anything that can change your frequency. You, more than anyone, deserve to be happy, to feel loved—by yourself! Your

essence knows this and translates it into how you feel! And that’s why it’s so important to be open to how you feel and to the thoughts that occupy your mind.

The more you maintain a positive vibration, the more you attract circumstances and people that align with that vibration! It doesn’t mean it will always be a bed of roses, but it’s important to maintain an open perspective and believe in the best for ourselves! Stay mindful of your thoughts and change course when necessary. Remember that the thoughts you focus on manifest, especially when you put strong emotions behind them. So, focus on love, joy, and well-being! The more you practice, the more you’ll see results that prove this to be true!

You have influence and the ability to control the direction of your life more than you think! Give yourself love, align with yourself, make an effort to know yourself better, to love yourself as you deserve. Give yourself time, give yourself space! You deserve everything and more; don’t forget who you are and where you come from! You are made of the stars in the sky, pure consciousness, pure abundance! Believe in yourself! You are a magnificent being!

With much love and peace to all of you. 🙏🏻❤️

Inspired

How often do I have narratives in my mind, stories to tell? How often do I have immense thoughts of what I should write? How many inspiring voices do I hear, only to never put them on paper? They slip away as if I’m afraid that once they reach the page, they won’t be the same words anymore, won’t carry the same sound, enthusiasm, or intention.

When people ask me where I’m from, I don’t know how to answer. I was born in one country, spent my adolescence in another, and now I’m growing old in the one I’m in. How do I respond? I don’t belong anywhere, yet I’m everywhere. I feel connected to everything. I’m not just from one place; I am of the world, and I feel the world within me. There is no separation, just as there is no separation between us.

It confuses me to see people getting upset with one another, not realizing that they are only upsetting themselves. Why criticize or judge? Why harbor ill will towards others? Don’t you see that we are all one? Can’t you see that your own restlessness doesn’t come from outside? If you’re upset about something someone else did, look within yourself for the reason why. There is an illusion of separateness, a selfish and petty tendency to believe that there isn’t enough, that we need to defend our territory or attack others out of fear that they might take something away from us, be it material or not.

I’m not saying that if someone does something to you, you shouldn’t defend yourself, but it’s your reaction to what’s happening, what’s going on inside you when something dissatisfying occurs. Are you reacting out of a sense of lack, fear, or pain? Observe.

Occasionally, I encounter people who get irritated, people who aren’t accustomed to my enthusiasm. I’m used to it by now. Some feel threatened by our radiance, while others simply don’t live with inner peace; they seek it externally without success. And when the external world doesn’t meet their expectations, there’s a clash. It’s normal, and I understand. For me, these are opportunities to grow, to become more open, kinder, and more compassionate towards the suffering of others. At the same time, I observe my own suffering because I’m not exempt from it, none of us are, unless you’ve reached the enlightenment of your being.

I often feel like I don’t belong anywhere, lacking the foundations that most people have or seek, unable to plan for the future. All the conditions imposed on me during my upbringing mean nothing because I didn’t hold onto anything. In fact, I let go of everything! They are all illusions.

We grow up thinking we need “that” relationship, that we need a certain house, children, work, a car, and so on—the list keeps growing. I had all of those things gradually, and gradually I “returned” them because I didn’t find happiness in any of them. Happiness is sought from within! Until you realize that, you stumble around, filling yourself with things, projects, more work, and less time for yourself. Less time alone to find and realize that you already came into this world with everything you need, right here.

This doesn’t mean I don’t enjoy certain things or fulfilling relationships that warm my heart. However, true fulfillment only happens when your being feels complete without them. Only then can you truly savor external experiences because they are a reflection of your inner self.

I discovered that a part of me loves the shadows, solitude, finding itself in music and writing! In a book where words make sense to the soul. The silence between two people who are accomplices is worth more

than compliments. Strolling arm in arm and occasionally exchanging a glance and a smile.

I discovered that while others speak passionately and without a filter about what’s in their hearts and minds, I prefer to remain silent, listening not with my ears but with my soul. The words pass through me, little remains, but what stays is how they speak, their presence, their gestures, and their aura. I feel the warmth/energy of their presence, and it brings me great joy just to be in their company! I feel that words are mere distractions from the essence of their being. So, I filter and focus on what’s most important. Beautiful people expressing themselves, emanating their energy, often unaware of the interaction we’re having beyond words. They leave an impression on me, and I leave one on them. We exchange a “currency” of energy.

It’s so beautiful to see a world beyond what our minds have learned to “see.” To see a world full of energies and colors!

I’ve learned not to cling to the fact that many people still live in their own prisons because, after all, I’m no more or less than any of them. I feel an urge to help, but I don’t intrude. Who am I to do so? All I offer is an intention of love and faith, wishing them happiness, self-discovery, self-love, and the most peaceful path possible. May their pains be seen as lessons, not defeats, but as achievements. May these lessons bring them more structure in what makes them happy and what they need to let go of.

I discovered the silence between words, the silence in music, silence even in the midst of chaos! This silence is so full of peace and love, so welcoming. It cradles you and takes you to a place I like to call “HOME.”

I hope that each one of us has the ability, no matter where we are or who we’re with, to always return home. To be at home!

All I want in Love

All I want in love is for someone to listen to me, with an open heart, but truly listen, not with the intent of helping me, sort something out or figure something or with intent of giving me an answer, I need someone to listen, with understanding, compassion, and recognizes themselves in me, without a need to correct me. That trusts me to come up with my own answers, that lets me work throw it on my own, that supports me and believes in me. And waits patiently without any expectations. I like to make my own decisions, my own mistakes, I like to learn it all on my own, and I would like you to respect that, and unless I ask you for help directly, do not try to give me advice, just be patient, accept me as I am, accept that I have also my inner struggles, and I need to work them on my own… but be there for me. Keep me safe. I need your silence more than your words, I need your hugs, your reassuring eyes, your positive smile, that’s all I need. Don’t force me to open, to explain myself to you. But if I do and whenever I do, please just listen… don’t judge, don’t critic, even if its a positive one… I will not need it… all I need is your pure silence, in that moment I will know that you are the one for me, because you have listen with your heart, and you welcome me in your arms. And all you did was love me purely and simply without any expectations, judgement, any thought whatsoever. You simply saw me as I am, and that’s enough.

Don’t try to protect me, to shield me, I know you care, but that, will push me further away from you, you’re preventing me from growing. I need to feel pain, to feel pleasure, I need to feel the rain, to experience the sunshine, I need to experience life in its fullest, to live a fulfilling life. So let me live as I choose, and just be with me for the ride. 

Love is full acceptance of the other, no matter how they are, how they do, what they do, you accept them as they are and where they are in their own path, without the need to control the outcome, even if you think a better path is there for them, you have to accept they have their own way of getting there, and you have your own. So focus on yourself, love yourself the most, understand yourself in and out, and you will understand the other, you will understand is nothing more for you to do but be present. Your presence is the most precious and beautiful thing you can give to someone.  Be present for the One you Love. 

Thats all I need.

Your presence.

What’s Fear?

What’s fear to you? How does it make you feel, how you feel it in your body? And how attached are you to fear?

I can feel it mostly in my throat, like a lump, anxiety/fear, in the end, all comes down to fear! Fear of what? Both the fear of losing something and having that something, are illusions, we never had it in the first place, so you can’t loose it! Believing you have it is an illusion, you have nothing, not even your body, your mind, nothing is yours its all borrowed, from nature, from the Universe! You only part of something big, you are already unique in the way you have been manifested! Out of energy, put together from different parts of the universe, you are sum of all the most complex components, you can’t even fathom! So what you scared of? Go without? Or you finally get something, or have something that you been asking for so long but you can’t fully enjoyed, because now you are afraid of losing it? 

Where does fear como from? You weren’t born with it, so where does it come from? A construct added over time, layers upon layers of conditions, limitations and rules, barriers that have been building up as we grow. And now, now is the time to be aware of this fear, to see where it comes from, and to deconstruct the believes that if set it in motion! 

Fear is a product of ego, is it not? We identify so much with our body’s, our minds, our looks, our image to the world, that we get attached to things being a certain way, and we afraid if we change things, we will not be accepted, we will be lonely, or get punished, or just suffer! 

But aren’t your limitations already a way of suffering? Isn’t more constructive then suffering the consequences of being truly you? If you finally yourself, outspoken, and living your truth, even when others disagree and go away from you, and might be hard at first, but do you really need them? What you miss isn’t them, is their approval you miss, is being included, is being part of something, but if that something isn’t truly you, why pretending, why try to fit in? 

When you feel you need to be part of something, you need approval, you need something outside yourself – you have been disconnected to the being you truly are!

Because once you are connect whit the Who you truly are, you will not need approval, or to fit in. You have all you need yourself! And once you have yourself, and be proud of who and where you are, that beautiful energy of joy, happiness, love for yourself, will be felt all around you, it will attract the right people to you. Like attracts like!

Once you smile and enjoy your stride, enjoy your path, you will see people smiling at you, people approaching you, new experiences, new adventures, that are matching your frequency at this moment! 

And then it happens, when your life as suddenly improved, and you seeing so much abundance surrounding you, but really coming from within you, not that anything outside as changed, but you have! The way you see things, your perspective in life, you are more positive, more coincidente, happy, optimistic, just taking everything with open arms! Still after so many years of conditioning, parts of you, really rutted can’t believe such happiness, contentment, joy. Part of you doubts and its afraid of it – “can’t be true, this is to good”! Is it? 

Why is it too good, why do you feel something bad has to happen? Why do you feel you might lose it? Aren’t you worth it? All of it? All of this for you? Take it with open heart and don’t be afraid, take it all, its all for you. 

And if something does happen? Then take it also with open heart, trust yourself to deal with it no matter what, believe you not alone, you have unconditional love and support! We all here for you!!!! No matter what! Just enjoy all this gifts, all this experiences! Enjoy being you – Fully! Go witching and feel how precious you are, your being, how rich you are, how beautiful and full of light, life you are! 

Be bright smile, be unique, express yourself! Be creative, be free!!!! 

You were intended to be in this hearth to experiment, to live, to feel, to take it with a smile, and love in your heart! 

Do me a favour, love yourself unconditionally, love your self with passion, be proud of yourself, honour yourself, by doing that you also honour all of what is, the Dao, as you are made with all components if it! No one if us are separate, once we realise this we understand by being yourself, and honour who you are really honouring your being, your creation, and as such all that it is! 

But do it with unconditional love, don’t confuse it with actions from Ego, if it doesn’t feel 100% right, then isn’t you, isn’t your spirit guiding you, is your Ego.

Less is more

Less is more, think less, do less, and trust that will be done either way, just give it to the universe to deliver its bit, trust that its here to support you, ask it for guidance, to help you

When you feel you have so much to do, so much thinking, so much… just delegate, see what you can do now, and the rest leave it to the universe! Don’t feel like you have to do everything, don’t get overwhelmed, don’t try to control everything, the outcomes, the results, just trust that whatever comes its the best outcome you could have, the one that you need! Sometimes isn’t exactly what we want, but definitely what we need. Just trust is for your best, its always working in your favour! Less resistance will allow for the results to come in quicker, and in very unexpected ways! 

Is when you let go, when you just surrender, that you see miracles happening! 

It’s when I finally surrender that things start to work in a much easier flow, we are so rushed into doing, we just get so involved in what we doing and how things owe to be, that we forget to just enjoy the process, and trust, whatever the outcome, it will be just right. Letting go of the outcome, letting go of the ideia, letting go of the goal. Of course plan, but then let it go, how you will get there it will show up to you at the right time, let go, smile and just trust your inner voice! 

Sometimes we work with difficult people, it is hard to let go, we resist, we get annoyed, frustrated, we just want to avoid that person, or just turn away from them, but that will not achieve anything. That person is in your path for a reason, aren’t you curious? Smile, don’t analise it, just smile. Don’t see anything as right or wrong, just see it for what it is, can you? Can you make peace with what it is, how it is? Can you let go of the need to change it, change someone? And then perhaps change how you see them, not for them, but for you! Because you need that peace! What about realising you are not separate from them, and even if its hard to believe at first, you are not you, without them, and vice-versa, as we are no one without others! Is through others that we find ourselves! Isn’t that magical? Finding all the feelings you experience with each and every encounter? And realising you are the master of your own emotions and thoughts, and you can easily change how you feel and think, once you surrender! Let go of individual you think you are, let go of identifying yourself, limiting yourself. You are not this personality that you have constructed for yourself! You are so much more! Limitless, boundless, connected to all, part of all, not separated but unified with all! Believing you are separate it will only bring you suffering! We are not separate, someone isn’t more or less then you, someone isn’t being bad to you, you might perceive it that way, and I know in same cases this is hard to even conceive by the human mind, but really all what happens to us has been chosen by us, and for us, so we could learn, grow! Not us as this Ego we identify from, but Us this unlimited being/soul/presence we are!  

Ego is so tricky, so persuasive, we think we are this and that, we defend our position, we limit ourselves by what we can and can’t do,  but in relation… we can be and do anything and everything! But i find myself just being the happiest when I simply Am, just here, smiling and enjoying the moment as it is! And its beautiful to have surprises everyday! Because again I have no expectations! Everything is like new, every moment is new, so you always living not knowing what’s coming, but enjoying every moment with a inner smile, with gratitude! Every moment should be taken like a gift! Just to be able to be outsider and look around, all the colours, the beautiful sky, the nature, even when it seems dark, rainy, cold, everything has its beauty, and everything should be taken with a glad heart! Live simply! 

If something isn’t right, doesn’t feel right, go within, into stillness, beyond thought and see what happens!? You will find some kind of peace, peace with what it is, and if not, wonder what brought you to feel this way. More times than not is the Ego talking, being indignant, frustrated, wanting things to be different, not accepting things how they are, questioning, or justifying, or defending, being a victim… whatever it is, if it doesn’t feel right is because isn’t in alignment with the true YOU. Your inner self, your inner guidance, your higher self! Because your higher self knows your worth, knows what’s there for you, maybe you just don’t have the clarity to see it, or you living in fear, but it is there, once you allow it, let go, trust, surrender, you might able to see it coming, you might able to see the light beyond the dark, you might able to smile and just relax, smile and finally be at peace. Peace with who you are and what you are. Be at peace with whatever is outside, because is just a reflection of what’s within you. And every little componente is super important for your growth, so welcome it with open arms! Be joyful, like a child, be ready for the adventure, be excited, you don’t know what’s coming, and you don’t need to know! That’s the magic! You just follow the path smiling, eager with what you will be learning at every step! 

And of course you will be experiencing sadness, stress, frustration, the secret? Be the observer of that, smile, don’t take yourself to seriously, just enjoy the ride! Why be so consumed about an emotion, if doesn’t bring you pleasure? Understand it, let it come and let it go, whenever its ready, make peace with it, its part of your path, so accept it as such! Don’t fight or resist, welcome it, see what you can learn with the most difficult emotions. Be happy to learn! Be like a blank canvas! 

Isn’t it funny that we grow up learning all about the world we live in, how everything is suppose to work, and then the secret to happiness is lo unlearn it? To start a new? Question everything and finding your real YOU? Isn’t this wonderful? 

Of course it isn’t for most, because you simply get fed up with this, and you just feel like is a big joke on you, you tired of this game! You don’t see the point of it all! I know, I’ve been there! Gets frustrating, tiresome, you just want to give up! You can’t make sense of anything! But its when you ‘give up’ that something happens, is when you surrender that the magic happens, when you trust that something bigger is here for you! And you let go of all that weight on you, all that responsibility you put in yourself, all that need for control, for having things a certain way…  

Trust me it gets easier if you Let Go! Trust and Believe in the Universe! Surrender! Let go of the person you think you are, and just be open to what it shows you!

Moved by Spirit

Sometimes we do things we don’t even realise where they coming from. Its egoless, its stronger than anything, you just know you have to do it, you can’t think of the implications you can’t see what’s coming next, you just have this force propelling you forward that you can’t ignore it. I call it spirit calling, I call it guidance, inner guidance, higher self, or spirit guides, or simply your soul and heart. This inner calling comes out of no where, I can’t even question it, deny it. Later I find myself ‘suffering’ the consequences of my actions, but isn’t bad or good, is a learning process, I understand why the reason behind it, but it does bring a lot of pain, but also a lot of learning, a lot of awareness, an ego death. We realise how many limitations we have put into ourselves, how many expectations, illusions we had, we realise how many boundaries, barriers, we have put up. And if we have the courage, and now faced with ourselves, this barrier, limitations, will have to come crumbling down. It’s a difficult, painful process, but so needed. Waking up isn’t an easy process. Realising the fabric of life. It’s enlightening. 

But isn’t just about you, is about others… you realise the impact you made on others, the ‘suffering’ you are causing them, you can deal with your own, perhaps, but how are they dealing with it, you can only hope, have faith, that they reach the same platform as you, of understanding better about themselves and life around them. To understand the fabric of life. You hope with your heart tight, because you still care, you still love, but we have to allow for this things to happen. You have to have faith in them, that they can go through it. And see the light within them. You hope to see them free, because they been untangled for so long, in this illusion… you love them unconditionally, no matter what you trust the process, you allow them to be, is so much you can do, you cause the havoc, now be witness of its destruction. Being a witness isn’t easy either, and that why is for the both of us, one action, two parts. Doesn’t matter who started it. The ego will say:’who are you, to think you are the one to do it?” The ego will push you in every direction, trying to pull you apart. Saying you are reckless, you are destructive, you have done it again, you have caused ‘suffering’ to another being. Guilt will play with you if you let it, fear, pain, until you realise ‘who’ you are, and what you made of. 

You then witness the destruction of self, hold habits, hold patterns. Things hang in the balance, you don’t know how it will turn up, but you have faith, you don’t know how the other is dealing with it and if it doesn’t turn out the best way… well thats their path too, soon or later they will get there, they have many incarnations to go through to realise their potential. You were just a fraction, a little piece in this immense puzzle, a little ripple, you done your part, now it’s time to trust the process… you don’t need to understand it all, you simply need to trust. 

The ego likes to create illusions, the ego likes to point fingers, likes to question, the ego is there to protect you in a way, but you need to be careful to not let it go to far… without it you can’t reach another ‘level’ but if you get stuck in its claws, then you definitely loose ‘yourself’. You become a creature of habit, a creature that plays safe, you let fear come in, doubt, you let judgmental, criticism, and all that its low energy come in to your frequency. Be careful, because it’s ever so cunning, alluring. Be very aware out it makes you feel. You are here to love, to feel love, to be love, to share and transmite love. You are here to unite, to be part of the whole, to become whole, to allow, to accept, to transmute. If whatever comes isn’t in that frequency, then you must change it, you must dig deep in your heart and soul, to find a better way. Separation is the way of the ego, union is the way of love. Be aware of it although, do not repress it, do not resist it, allow it to be so you can better understand it, but do not feed more negative energy into it, just allow it, and try and bring love into it. Open yourself to possibility, to freedom of spirit. Open yourself to a more fearless and powerful being. 

You are so powerful, your thoughts, your energy, it’s so important to the whole, together we can build so many beautiful things, together we can do anything. 

Might your actions always spring from love, unconditional love. Might you have the wisdom/ awareness to ‘understand’, ’see’ a bigger picture. To have a better perspective in life. Might you be able to change the chemistry of your cells to be more receptive, allowing, loving, caring, no matter what happens to you, always have faith, and always act in service of love, with love intention. Don’t let ego bring bitterness into your heart, separation, judgment. Might you be always able to see yourself in another. And understand them just like you do yourself. They are mirrors of you, be open to learning, to understanding, to compassion, to listening, be open.

So much pain

So much pain, it’s unbelievable, the things we go through, the thoughts we have, the feelings, emotions, a collection of events from the past, all gathered together in this ball, in my heart, so much pain, and like a fire burns all the way up to my throat. It’s pain and fear, sensitivity, I’m at the point of breaking down, but not in the way you might know it, not braking down, fall into tears, no… I can feel it’s rupturing my chest, I can feel it splitting… because I’m allowing it to be, I’ve understood why it’s here, it has its right to be here, it’s only natural after so much I’ve been through, and never allowing it to be or just sit with it. It’s painful, but it has its beauty, and the fear is so big I can feel myself freezing, being numb, unable to move, and at the same time, again, just like the pain, it has to reach a point that is so great, that it brakes! Like a overfilled glass! And then is a release, your all body been holding on to it for so long, you have put yourself through so much pain, and finally gives up, no longer as the strength to hold on, it releases its grasp, it let’s go… you finally release control and realise is nothing to control, and is no need to control anything, that is nothing you can hold on to, because nothing is yours. You belong to nothing and nothing belongs to you. But you have the power to create, and create you will do, in response to your survival of this so tumultuous times. And you hope to the skies that better days will come, and the light at the end of the tunnel, will come soon… you hope and believe in yourself, that you are a survivor, and because you love yourself, you have the courage to keep going forward, to conquer that fear, and survive that pain. And the pain might still be there, but you embrace it with a smile, because you proud of yourself to be able to have it, survive it, to conquer it, and to welcome it, because is part of you, because is there to remind you of who you are when you most need! Is all an act of love. See it, live it, feel it fully, rejoice in it! The light is there – Love

Desperate for Change

Life can change so quickly.

You can spend years longing for a change, unhappy with your life, you hoping for a miracle, to change things, you longing for a change in work, in a relationship, lifestyle. 

You go over and over thinking how to do it and when to do it, imagining how it would be. wishing that things will be different. 

You try to make the best, out of a situation you not happy about. 

And then life surprises you. 

All of a sudden, something clicks and change starts to happen, you finally have the conviction to change, or something happens that make change happen, finally, a world of possibilities is out there for you, the outcome is never what you would expect though, it never is. 

The secret is to let it go, let it be. 

They say be careful about what you wish for. they are right, be very careful, because never happens as you imagine. and things don’t always come as you would hope for. 

Embrace change nevertheless, change is good, gives us a challenge, and if you have faith, you might learn a thing or two. 

You wish to become healthier, the process is hard, you dought yourself, you go back and forward with your decisions, until something really clicks and you do it for you, because you know, it’s the best for you. 

The same with relationships.

Unhappy for years you hope for change, you hope for a better future, you wanna let go of the past, but you see yourself again doubting, you go again back and forward in your decisions, until enough is enough. 

We have to reach braking point sometimes, take that leap of faith. 

Then when you make your move, things start to change, don’t be afraid, don’t doubt, have perseverance,belive.

Don’t let yourself down, when things don’t turn up exactly how you hoped for, be strong, maybe things haven’t come out exactly as you wanted, but don’t be discouraged, learn with it, make your goal to work with it, never give up.

Your job, you wanna change, but don’t know how, you look for other jobs, but you can’t find any, or you scared to change, of the unknown, don’t be. 

If you really wanna change, just do it, or work on accepting where you are, it all comes down to the way you feel, the way you think about it. 

Whatever you do, be true to yourself, be honest in your intentions, what you want and why you want it. 

Don’t delude yourself, sometimes we feel unhappy about a situation, but in reality, isn’t the situation, but the way you think about it, the way you feel, something within you isn’t being fulfilled, search within yourself for answers, don’t be afraid of digging deep, what’s really bothering you. 

Sometimes we just unhappy with ourselves, missing compassion, kindness and love for ourselves. 

Have a moment for yourself, seat down and let yourself feel, whatever is going on, embrace what’s happening, let your thoughts come and go, just be present, feel it, send some love to yourself, appreciate this moment, where you are, and what you are, embrace your being, all of what is. Have the courage to look within. 

From my heart to yours – Namasté

 “To remain indifferent to the challenges we face is indefensible. If the goal is noble, whether or not it is realized within our lifetime is largely irrelevant. What we must do therefore is to strive and persevere and never give up.” – Dalai Lama
