  • The past will take you hostage

    The past...

    If you’re not careful, the past will take you hostage.

    You’ll carry it like a momento in your wallet and it will weigh you down.

    You’ll watch as everyone else seems to have moved on except you.

    You’ll torture yourself in the ‘what ifs‘, ‘could have beens‘ and ‘if onlys‘.

    You’ll chase the feelings of the past.

    You’ll try to recreate it here and now.

    You aren’t who you used to be, you’ve inevitably changed.

    You don’t have to be who you used to be.

    Know that you cannot hold onto the memories, they will fade.

    Life goes quickly and we cannot waste it reminiscing on what was.

    You can't change what has already happened...

    If you’re struggling with the past, you’re struggling with your mind because it’s clinging onto memories and wondering what they mean.

    The last is dead and gone but you’re desperately trying to resuscitate it.

    Without your mind, the past simply wouldn’t exist.
    such a “past”.

    You can’t change what has already happened anyway.

    Yet the unconscious mind loves to fixate on it.

    As if worrying, obsessing, replaying will change anything…

    The unconscious mind becomes deeply intertwined with the stories – fixated, attached, longing for what has been.

    The past cannot be behind you if it is present.

    The path out of the past is built upon the foundations of consciousness.

    Awaking the inherent power that lies within everyone already — awareness and presence.

    Melting the resistance to this moment: the only true moment here in the now.

    The unconscious mind does not exist in the light of consciousness in the present moment because it cannot hide or pretend to be the past (or even future).

    You aren’t your past, you are the power and presence of consciousness.

  • Who are you?

    The jigsaw puzzle of life

    Stories aren’t just found in fairy tales, books and movies.

    We live inside stories that our mind creates and identifies with.

    Our brain pieces these stories together to create the ultimate story of ‘me’.

    The voice inside your head has created ‘you’ by weaving together pieces of your past experiences and what you believe to be true.

    It all then pieces together like a jigsaw puzzle.

    Only certain pieces make it into this jigsaw puzzle.

    The great unlearning...

    So who are YOU really? You aren’t these stories, you are what’s beneath them all. Pure consciousness — soul.

    Have you observed this story telling?

    The stories vou believe in the form of “l”.
    I am the type of person who…

    I am not like that because…

    I am not worthy because..

    I believe that…

    I am right because…

    The stories make us feel a certain way, the stories have us act a certain way.

    Your true self doesn’t identify with the stories.

    Your true self is in your expression, being, essence and knowing.

    There’s nothing to defend, assert, prove or cling onto.

    You haven’t done this knowingly – it has instinctively happened through your experiences and conditioning.

    You aren’t who you think you are – you are the presence underneath and behind all the layers.

    You awaken to your true self when you become conscious of this and free yourself from the stories.

    You are.

    So freeing, so powerful – to break free from the stories and simply be.

    This is the great unlearning…

  • Grateful for this life

    Grateful, thankful and blessed

    At times it can feel like life isn’t perfect and neither am I.

    Even knowing and experiencing that, I am grateful.

    I am grateful when I did not get what I want because life was protecting me.

    I am grateful when life stepped in and gave me a life greater than I ever imagined for myself.

    I am grateful that everything that seemed to be going wrong was really steering me in the right direction.

    I am grateful for all the sadness, struggle and pain because life provided a contrast to truly appreciate all the beautiful moments, the highest of highs.

    I am grateful for the hardships I have faced because I have gained strength and wisdom that I never would have otherwise.

    I am grateful to still be here because traversing rocky roads have led me to conquer mountains I never thought I could.

    Ultimately I have come to understand through the imperfection, that really, life is perfect and who I am right now is exactly who I am meant to be.

    On perspective...

    Whilst you can’t change or control life circumstances, you’ll always have a choice when it comes to perspective.

    Often in hindsight we can find gratitude for the very things in the moment we dismissed as undesirable.

    Never underestimate the power you have in any moment to use your mind, not let it use you 🧠

  • The human experience

    Make the most of life...

    There will be moments you ask yourself why you live the life that you do.

    Why everything has unfolded the way it has – the turning points, the challenges, the successes, the past, who you are now and who you are becoming.

    Know that you are divine.

    You are a soul having a human experience.

    That you are a soul that bravely decided to be human.

    Make the most of the life you have because one day it will become a fleeting memory.

    Make the most of the life that you have, because we never know when the ride will end.

    Make the most of the life you have because it is the most precious gift.

    Make the most of life because it is always changing and that is the human experience – to feel it all.

    The human experience...

    What if you could have the perspective that you chose this all?

    Every moment of elation.

    Every moment of heartache.

    Every circumstance.

    Every challenge.

    All with the purpose to expand and grow in this lifetime for your soul.

    To grow isn’t easy or comfortable in fact it’s often challenging and painful (that’s the point!)

    Sure there are times we grow in ease but I’m more often than not it’s outside the comfort zone.

    All in all it’s the human experience your soul chose to have.

    This life is a blip in the string of many lives you’ve had and will continue to have, make the most of this beautiful experience and adventure.

    How we feel colours our lives adding depth, texture and tone.

    Our emotions are energy in motion (e-motion) that long to be experienced and pass through us, we are the divine channel they move through.

    I honour the divine in you beautiful soul who bravely chose to be human and live the life that you do 🙏🏽

    Inspired by the awakening perspective of @lilireinhart with @jayshetty:

    “If I started out as this celestial being, just energy, and the universe or God or whomever said, ‘Hey, do you want to go to Earth for an incredibly short amount of time, like a blip, and experience every emotion that you could possibly feel as a human? You get to have all these experiences: love, heartache, anxiety, joy, euphoria, whatever. All of it. Do you want to do that?’

    Yeah, I do.

    And so when I am feeling these intense feelings, it’s sorta like a reality check to step outside and say, although this is a very uncomfortable, painful feeling, it’s quite beautiful that I have the capacity to experience it. That is sort of something that I use to ground myself when I am stuck in a feeling of darkness.”

  • There’s hope… and help

    It is my hope...

    Sure there will be times you question life, question the universe and even question yourself.

    It is my hope that you never forget how strong and resilient you are.

    It is my hope that you never forget how far you have come even when you did not think you would make it through.

    It is my hope you remember that you are so loved and your presence is a huge light in this world.

    It is my hope that you remember you are so loved and it wouldn’t be the same without you here.

    It is my hope you remember the impact you have on the people around you and the community at large.

    It is my hope you remember that you are not alone, that help is always available, you have the power and choice to reach out.

    Keep going, you've got this

    A message to you during tides of changing times 🌊

    You might not feel strong right now but that doesn’t mean you aren’t… you are because you’re still here.

    It’s in these moments of discomfort where we truly grow beyond what we think we are capable of…

    Expand beyond what we thought was possible…

    It can feel lonely but you are never alone — you have a whole team on the other side supporting you always with unconditional love.

    Keep going, you’ve got this 👊🏽

  • Embrace the darkness

    Even stars need darkness to shine

    Not all of life can be lived in the light.

    There are times life is calling us to the shadows – to grow, evolve and expand far greater than we ever have before.

    The void.

    The darkness.

    The womb space.

    The caterpillar must go into the cocoon to emerge a butterfly.

    The phoenix must die to be reborn and emerge from the ashes.

    The dark night of the soul must take pace for the awakening.

    The seedling must be planted and covered in dirt to beautifully bloom.

    Even stars and the moon need darkness in order to shine…

    The light is there, hidden

    With the darkness in life it’s not always as it appears to be.

    Beneath the veil of darkness and in the unseen. The light is there, hidden ✨

    You cannot fully perceive the changes unfolding, but just because you can’t does not mean that they aren’t happening… everything being lined up in perfect timing perfectly for you.

    Perhaps reflect in your life during difficult times that felt like the end of the world yet were the springboard and catalyst to something greater, more than you realised and could perceive at the time.

    Perhaps the darkness was your great
    We need the darkness as much as the, it’s natural as night and day.

    If you’re in the darkness now, this is a sign and affirmation to trust and have faith in the process.

    All will be revealed 💡

    I know it’s not easy, I believe in you 🌟

  • You can keep going

    Everything in divine timing...

    So maybe this year didn’t start out the way you wanted or expected… and that’s okay.

    The year isn’t over yet, it’s only just begun.

    Things can shift and change at any time.

    Sometimes on the surface it feels like nothing is happening or going your way, when really it is.

    You just can’t see it right now.

    Life is conspiring and coming together behind the scenes.

    Anything is possible.

    It can still happen.

    Everything in perfect, divine timing.

    Have faith and hold the vision.

    At the end of this year, you’ll be glad you did.

    You are worthy...

    so what if the year so far hasn’t been as magical as you hoped or expected … it doesn’t mean that it won’t eventually be 🦋

    don’t let current circumstances dictate what your heart and soul know.

    you are worthy of what you desire.

    the journey is a mixture of patience and inspired action.

    know that what is meant for you, is yours no matter what is going on right now.

    this your sign to hold on.

    I know it’s been tough and testing, on the other side of this is greater growth.

    sometimes the light is hiding behind the shadows temporarily.

    the breakdown, the void, the fog is all part of a bigger picture to reveal itself…

    let life unfold, save this post and come back to it at the end of the year… then you will see 👁️ it’s all playing out perfectly according to what you need for your highest good and alignment.

    it’s a long term game; not a short one.

  • May the rain heal you

    Heart, mind and soul...

    May my heart no longer be heavy; but light and full of bliss.

    May my mind no longer worry, but radiate with inner peace.

    May my soul no longer fear; but deepen in love and faith.

    Endings give way to new beginnings

    & sometimes we need the rain to fall, to wash away and release all that no longer serves us, to nourish us with the waters of contrast in life, to remind us of who we really are in testing times.

    May the rain heal you.

    May the rain relieve you.

    May the rain provide mercy to you.

    After the rain we know growth will emerge.

    Our wounds are soothed.

    Endings give way to new beginnings.

    If you’re reading this, it’s a sign of reassurance that the tough times will ease. The worst of it is coming to an end and now you can take the wisdom of the rain into the bloom.

    This is symbolized by the beautiful flowers I had in this reel coming to the end of their life but reborn again as I spread them in the sea, transforming into new life. Part of the ocean. Part of the nutrients that feed life within the sea.

  • On letting go

    Free your soul

    The truth is sometimes life is leading you to let go.

    Not getting what you want is setting you free.

    You’ve got to let go of the past to make way for your future.

    Letting go is the portal to the power of the present moment.

    To land and arrive fully here.

    Letting go is opening to the world of infinite possibilities.

    Letting go is expanding beyond what you think you want and allowing what you deserve.

    Letting go is freeing your soul.

    Letting go is liberation.

    Trusting in the universe

    It’s not easy to let go but what if you knew everything you desired and wished for was on the other side?

    That a clearing and space is needed for all of it to arrive.

    Have faith that you are always being led to something better and greater, more than you could’ve imagined for yourself.

    To trust in the call of the universe and beat of your heart when you know deep down inside, it’s time to let go…

    Everything is always happening for your highest good and growth, not to you, for you 🦋

  • It’s time for you to shine

    Go for it NOW

    I think you should go for it.

    Feel the fear trembling in your body.

    Feel the beat of your heart pulsing.

    Feel your hands shaking with nerves.

    Feel your thoughts racing.

    If there’s one thing I know that hurts, it isn’t if it doesn’t work out – it is regret.

    Wondering what could have been.

    Unfulfilled potential.

    Ignoring your intuition.

    So if you have been waiting for a sign, here it is.

    Go for it.

    What if everything you desire and dream of, is on the other side of this powerful decision?

    Don’t dance around the edges, take a deep breath and dive in, go all in.

    It's your time

    It’s time for you to shine 🦁✨🚀

    It’s time for you to step into the spotlight.

    It’s time for you to follow your heart and soul.

    It’s your time.

    2023.

    Let’s GO 🔥
