Surrendering to What Is

It seems that many of us are still going through challenging times.

This has definitely been true for me, as the overwhelm that had been building up, finally got to me and burned me out. This might seem strange, as I have been going after my dreams and living pretty uncompromisingly - which in my view should lead me to true freedom and deep sense of happiness!

However, there has been a sense of needing to be EVEN MORE truthful to my deepest desires. There has still been some fear lurking around, pushing me into trying too hard, instead of simply TRUSTING that the path will clear as I gently walk on.

 All that is not in alignment with our highest purpose is being released,
​for those who seek truth within themselves.

When burning out, we are forced into absolute rest and silence. From this unexpected call to enter yet another cocooning phase (oh, never expected that there would be the need for this now!!) some delightful new discoveries has been made. For me this means opening the doors to some Secret Gardens within I have not fully allowed to become visible yet! 

I am coming back to honouring my extremely sensitive nature.  There has still been that inner expectation that I should be doing more, trying harder, working more hours to 'make it' as an artist and healer, make a product out of who I am. It feels like what it sounds like... very very hard. I simply cannot function from this frame of mind.

 In order to feel at peace I must,
​ALWAYS,
come back in alignment with my Sacred Nature.
​And then, ONLY then, move forward
​with true joy and deep love for WHAT IS.

At the same time, the devastation is still spreading across the Earth, our home. There are those who do not recognise the damage we are doing to our home, Mama Gaia, Planet Earth. There are STILL those who are blinded by their greed and short sightedness. Some in very powerful positions.

This brings me to my other renewed dedication - to work even more closely WITH NATURE, to make my creative and healing arts intertwined with the living connection to the Earth. The elements, trees, plants, living organisms. Humans as a part of that web of life, not separate from it.

Being the Queen of my own Existence,
​I invite you to reign YOUR own inner Queendom!

​We don't need to fight for material possessions or power. While we can gracefully receive all that we need, (when not living in direct state of emergency!), we can simply love and appreciate WHAT IS. 

No matter how fragile you might feel at times, there is great beauty and strength in your very being. Nature connects me with a sense of overflowing abundance and pleasure. This gentle connection aligns me with my true values and let's so much of the unnecessary burdens simply fall away. 

Connect with nature in any way that is easy for you.
Dance for no reason.
Let life itself move you!

​Release your overwhelmed mind.
Awaken to the simple sense of wonder.
Take a moment to simply be.

​Breathing with you.
In silence, in movement, in sadness and pure joy​,
