What drives you?

I am slowly emerging from an intensely intense weekend and rushing week, celebrated my “born day” on 22nd April and we had our first heart to heart conversation through “Whispers of Faith” off Mauritius, in Bangalore.

Couple of hours before my born day, an incredibly strong woman asked me this question “Just curious to know what drives you?”

I do not know if what I am about to share will serve you in any possible way but I do know that what I am about to say comes from my truth at this moment in time.

MY COMMITMENT TO SERVING MYSELF DRIVES ME. I took an oath in 2010 that of never letting the limits of the past define me. It has not been an easy path since, for SUCH SELF-OATH ASKS OF ME TO SLAUGHTER MY FAKED SELF AND THERE IS NO END TO THIS PATH.

MY OPENING UP TO MY WOUNDS DRIVES ME. My 2010 oath takes me ongoingly to what I have seen, felt, heard and experienced of life so far. A life that has brought its share of love and wounds. I know that the only way through is to open myself to my wounds and face them. There have been days when I literally felt like I was dying. Along way I have learned and I am still learning that THERE IS NO WRONG OR RIGHT BUT RATHER WHAT AND HOW AND WHY YOU CHOOSE TO HOLD SPACE CONSCIOUSLY FOR WHATEVER IT IS IN YOUR LIFE.

MY LEARNING TO LET GO OF “BEING IN CONTROL”. Letting go of a corporate job, getting on new ventures, moving out of unhealthy relationships and instances- all these shake and fragile our seemingly grounded stability. For years now, my own notion of stability has been on rewire mode. And yes, I have had panic attacks and deep anguish in the beginning, FOR WHEN YOU STEP OUT INTO THE UNKNOWN, YOU EITHER ALLOW YOURSELF TO LEARN TO NAVIGATE THROUGH OR YOU WIGGLE ETERNALLY OUT OF YOUR NEED TO CONTROL.

Back in 2010, I had no idea that my life will shape the way it is unfolding right here right now and I do know that I will never choose otherwise.

MY “TRUSTING” MYSELF. Ask anyone and he/she will answer “I do not trust or at least, I do not trust everybody or somebody or those persons or these persons.” I have learned and I am still learning that “trust begins with oneself and ends with oneself.” TRUSTING THAT YOU WILL MAKE IT THROUGH; TRUSTING THAT LIFE WILL SUPPORT YOU THROUGH YOU, FOR YOU AND BY YOU; TRUSTING THAT LIFE WILL CONSPIRE ON YOUR BEHALF TO GET YOU TO EXACTLY WHERE YOU ARE MEANT TO.

MY GIVING AND RECEIVING FROM MY VULNERABLE SELF. Humans flow when there is a balance in giving and receiving and for this to happen to a depth close to Divine, vulnerability must be ever present, allowing one's self to be seen, heard and felt and then moving through this world from that very vulnerable part. Changes, shifts and transformations peak through vulnerability. I write, I live, I smile, I laugh, I cry, I die, I share, I learn, I connect, I rejoice, I co-create and I whisper from my inner most vulnerable part for this is from where my strength leads; for this is from where our strength leads.

MY SURRENDERING TO LOVE.  I used to think that I am believer but only now I am growing into awareness what “surrendering to love” means. A love omnipresent within and through every animate and inanimate in this Universe. A love nameless, shadeless, colorless and fadeless. A love that destroys, co-creates, feeds, nurtures, preserves and annihilate. MY SURRENDERING TO MOVE CLOSER TO DIVINE WITHIN. Such choices annihilate all that one have ever been and it can be a painful process as one try hard to hang on to past beliefs and truth.

Sufi says

“in the end, your inner gifts are insignificant but rather how you flow and swirl through and within life through your inner gifts is what matters most. Your serving this world asks of you to serve your self first. Your serving your self first asks of you to move closer to all that has been and all that will ever be.”

I believe this is what drives me, this knowningness that life will never give up on me, no matter how broke, broken, hate, hated, doom, doomed, fade, faden, I may see, feel and hear.  

As we reach the end of this sharing, I am just curious to know what drives you! What is it from within that drives you? What is coming in your way for you to see, feel and hear that drive?

Do reach out and let us know what drives you.

Much love light vibes

May Whispers Be. May Faith Be

"Whispers of Faith" has given wings to my life

End 2017 marked a defining phase in my life, while I thought that I was just risking money and investing time and resources by self-publishing “Whispers of Faith”, little did I understood that I was in truth opening myself to something way beyond me.

Whenever we invest, we expect a return on investment and I will lie if I say that I never expected. Oh, I expected and this expectation drove me mad at one point.

What maddened me most with the launching of “Whispers of Faith” was my sense of UNWORTHINESS. I know many of you have been there and we are endless walking that path right now. It HIT me HARD, after years of BACK-TRACKING and HEALING, I just could NOT UNDERSTAND where my UNWORTHINESS was coming from? How come I SEE,FEEL and HEAR so LITTLE of my SELF? Where did I go wrong?

That EVER PRESENT feeling of being “NOT-ENOUGH” and it CRAWLED under my SKIN for weeks. I stood there watching my UNWORTHINESS kicking, jumping, screaming, going wild – my inner theater has always been VIBRANTLY MOVING. Can you IMAGINE the MOVIES that I have CRAFTED for weeks?

For weeks, post the launching of “Whispers of Faith”, I have walked painfully through that phase. It hurt like none and there were days, when it felt unfair, I have wondered many times, “Why was I being punished this way? Why does it have to hurt?”

It seems weird in my case. Isn’t it? Megha has just launched her book along with her illustrations, then why was UNWORTHINESS LURKING around HER.

I do not know why but I understand now that UNWORTHINESS comes KNOCKING at the MOST APPROPRIATE time. Back then in December 2017, that was the MOST APPROPRIATE TIME. I was at the CUSP of MOVING DEEPER into my own SELF and what was HAMPERING in my way, was my UNWORTHINESS.

That feeling of utter UNWORTHINESS I have felt, its roots traced back in my childhood but most importantly, it took me to the BELIEFS and NARRATIVES that I have been holding on to when it comes to being WORTHY. My WORTHINESS as a WOMAN; My WORTHINESS as a DAUGHTER; My WORTHINESS as a LOVER; My WORTHINESS as a CREATOR and My WORTHINESS as a HUMAN BEING.

We live in a world where BEING WORTHY has been EXTERNALIZED. We live in a world where our WORTHINESS is CONDITIONAL. We have been BROUGHT UP and TAUGHT that UNLESS we DO THIS and ACHIEVE THAT, only then shall our WORTHINESS be VALIDATED externally. We have PARAMETERS and DEADLINES for WHEN to ACHIEVE WHATEVER IT IS. We have stamped EXPIRY DATES on DREAMS. We COMPARE and we ARE COMPARED to others. We FEEL LESS of OUR SELVES facing THOSE against WHOM WE are COMPARED. This DIRTY DANCE that has been ON for CENTURIES.

As I MARCH AHEAD my PATH, life is PURGING ME to take ME to this REALIZATION:

“My BEIGNESS in this MOMENT in time VIBRATES my WORTHINESS. NOTHING, NO ONE, NO ENTITY, NO TEACHER, NO FAMILY, NO MONEY, NO HOUSE, NO CAR, NO JOB, NO TITLE, NO SOCIAL STATUS, NO PARTNERSHIP, NO PARTNER, NO PLACE, NO BOOK, NO RELIGION can and will EVER DEFINE my WORTHINESS. I will ERR, I will LOSE, I will be LOST, I will TAKE, I will GIVE, I will BIRTH and I will ANNIHILATE but NONE of these will EVER DEFINE my WORTHINESS. Being ALIVE right HERE right NOW is ENOUGH.”

 

Truth, this is a tricky thing for most of us to come to a phase where we say this to our self.

When you birth something unto this world, it is considered as an investment for this world. When you birth something unto this world, that creation serves the purpose of shifting you first. I did not have the faintest hint that I was about to be rewired.

 “Whispers of Faith” gifted me one of the biggest return on my investments so far; it bestowed me one of my biggest shift, my sense of WORTHINESS.

While I thought I was giving wings to my words, my words gifted me more life.

I still do not call myself an author but I say that I am alchemist for I know that which I whisper comes from an inner alchemizing process that moved me from one place to another. Right here right now, more than ever I believe in the power of words.

I write the way I do, I share the way I do for more than ever I believe in the power of words.

Whenever you are in this moment in time, know that at one point, the only choice will be that of opening to your self. This is my deepest wish for you as you swirl through these words, may you open up to your self. May you rise to this knowingness that you are worthy and there is no external that can define your worthiness.

“Whispers of Faith”  has landed in Incredible India, some hours back, we will be whispering our magic in Bangalore.

We stay humble. We open up to release, to learn, to connect and to learn.

May Whispers Be May Faith

Love Love Love

March’s Whispers of Wisdoms: Women led, Women lead and Women shall lead till the end

I am feminist and my feminism plays a key role in how I navigate this world. My definition of feminism comes from my learning of owning my inner feminine essence (something which we all have, men and women). My feminism ongoingly teaches me to honor all lives on earth regardless of all. This very feminism discomforts endless and I am fine with it.

March is fundamental to me and for me, and for the endless women and men who have choosen to use their voice to stand for equality and fairness.

Women leadership has been massively celebrated all through the month of March. Though the celebrations, I sat with my own discomfort.

We celebrate women who are in high ranking positions; we honor women who now have titled status as requested by this society. We celebrate women who have endless pieces of papers. Amidst this we forget one fundamental; women have been leading from the very beginning of time on earth.

 Women leadership must not be rewarded but rather honored and respected.

Women leadership must not be prized but rather space must be created and held for women to perform a role that is true to their natural rhythms and rhymes.

Women led, women lead and women shall lead till the end of time.

 

When patriarchy as an oppressive system took over, it encroached women’s rights to performing to their fullest potentials. With women’s potentials blocked, this has negatively impacted on this entire world and on men. In this dis-balance system none wins.

While we reward, prize and award the few women in high ranking positions, we forget that we are inadvertedly repeating the very patriarchal mechanisms that we are working hard to overcome; we are forgetting those women who will never drive a car or wear high heals, or travel the world, still they lead. They lead like none, they teach and share like none. Their lives symbolize the great march within and they never waited for an external movement to overcome the limits that were imposed on them because their birth certificates are stamped “female”.

It is easier for a patriarchal system to celebrate and honor a few prized women instead of making the conscious committed and dedicated effort to create space for women to step in and lead the way through.

I feel, I see and I hear how my walk through this feminism journey has shifted massively from where I started years back to where I stand today.

I have been broke open, my belief system rewired, my focus shifted and I am learning as a feminist to keep an open heart to being human.

I see men and women bleed because their sense of worthiness has been externalized by patriarchy.

In my activisms and my work as a coach, I feel, I see, I hear, I read endless stories of humans’ whose have lost their sense of self-worthiness because at one point, they just never made it through accordingly to certain norms in this society. In this patriarchal system your worthiness as a human being has been defined as connected to externals.

When something is externalized, we will at one point pause to reward and award it.

Patriarchy ingrained yet another poison in our system “you are worthy provided you have achieved this or that.”

Women are worthy, so are men; worthy regardless of what they achieve in this life. Their very presence on earth defines their worthiness. No awards or rewards or prize can and shall ever define the worthiness of being a man and a woman.

Pausing, remembering, acknowledging, honoring an celebrating the lives of endless women whose leadership we will know of

Pausing, remembering, acknowledging, honoring and celebrating those women who have led and who lead and who shall lead till the end of time.

Women had led, Women lead and Women shall lead till the end of time.

If only we allow ourselves to be vulnerable enough to speak of our state openly.

I am about to share one highly sensitive event and my intention of sharing comes from the deep compassion that has been flooding my space since that event.

A close friend of mine reached out yesterday, I had a free slot after my morning meeting and we coincided our time to catch up.

He is in deep swirls of pains and confusions – struggling to find his grounding in his relationship with his wife, along with a one year child. The illusions of “knowing how to navigate through relationships” are dissolving and he is in deep sadness.

I paused and I listened, the coach in me takes over while the connected friend stood by to just listen.

But nothing prepared me for what I was to hear next. My friend bluntly asked me to sleep with him. This shook me hard, a friendship nurtured for years into family ties, love, respect and connection.

Instead of being and feeling offended or hurt, I asked myself what I can learn from this situation and from this amazing human being who is troubled by his life.

This situation was not and is not about me, though this situation was inherently going to teach me much.

MEN are TRAINED HARDCORE NOT to OWN what they FEEL, from the very beginning of their lives; they are TAUGHT and TOLD the way to DISCONNECT from their HEARTS, their FEELINGS, INSIGHTS and INTUITION.

 

And when pressure builds up internally, men SEEK a  way to RELEASE it all. But men do NOT TALK for TO TALK mean “you are MANLESS”; but men do NOT FEEL for TO FEEL mean “you are  SOFT BALLS” and men do NOT CRY for TO CRY mean “you are a SISSY."

 

When we are DISCONNECTED from our HEART, we go HUNTING for “WHATEVER IT IS” OUTSIDE US. We SEEK for SOLUTIONS OUTSIDE us, for we BELIEVE that SOMEWHERE this is SOMETHING or SOMEONE who HOLDS the POWER to FEED us BACK to LIFE.

Being CONNECTED to one’s HEART means to LIVE life with the KNOWINGNESS and CONSCIOUSNESS that we OWN RESPONSIBILITY  in whatever we GO THROUGH, we are ABLE to SEE through the BELIEFS, PATTERNS and GROW in AWARENESS of how our EXISTENCE has been SHAPED and understand that at our CORE we HOLD the POWER to SHIFT and TRANSFORM.

But men are DISCONNECTED from their HEARTS, they are TAUGHT, TOLD and TRAINED to MAINTAIN CONTROL over it all, especially OVER their FEELINGS. Men are inherently NOT ALLOWED to FEEL through LIFE.

 

Disconnected from their hearts, men end up in relationships with women who are themselves disconnected from their bodies. Disconnected human beings ripple out more disconnects.

Making out on and off will surely bring human beings temporary release for as long as the orgasmic vibes last until the vicious pressurious circles kick in.

For those of you will read these words, my point is “sexual intimacy is sacred and beautiful but when the seeking and longing for intimacy emerge solely as a result of our internal pressure, then know the message is simple, there is something else, something deeper that is seeking our attention.”

 

Please pause and ask our self:

How am I feeling right now right here? Where is that feeling happening in my body? What is it that I have worked hard to hide? What is that one pressing issue I am running away from? What sense of emptiness am I trying to fill?  What difference will it make to my life to have a heart to heart conversation in a safe space with someone about that which I am going through?

As for my friend who is still MY FRIEND, he is CALMER, OWNING the TRUTH of his FEELINGS, his CONSTRUCTED SENSE of HAVING FAILED at getting THINGS RIGHT. He is GROWING into AWARENESS that this WORLD will ongoingly DICTATE MEN'S STEPS through lives BUT ULTIMATELY, our HEARTS will CATCH us and this will MARK the BEGINNING of a NEW ERA. As for me, I STAND in DEEPER COMPASSION for men. We SPEAK of WOMEN and their WOUNDS but we FORGET that this WORLD has also WOMBED and will keep on WOMBING MEN. Men who CARRY their own WOUNDS. Such slight AWAKENING helps me GROW instead of JUDGING.

 

Not for once, did I felt like an endangered species during that conversation, for this situation was not and is not about me, but this situation has taught me much.

My boundaries keep teaching me about the power of love and compassion.

May these words serve their purpose beyond my life.

I write as an act of re-membering HIM, ME and all those connected to US.

Since 2010, I committed to heal my self to overcome the inner barriers that are hindering my path. I am not yet done and each day, I uncover one new barrier.

January 2017, these heart whispers poured through me, my fingers flowed on my keyboard, in front of my laptop screen, my entire body was shaking with tears and hurt from missing and healing from gratitude.

Yesterday one of my closest, reminded me of when the article, "I write as an act of re-membering HIM, ME and all those connected to US" was published and today, my heart whispered to share same with you because I believe stories carry the potentials to heal the keeper and the world.

I read my words one more time and this while it feels a deep trail of deepening love with the knowingness that we can all heal and shift our stories by choosing to open up.

May my story serve the purpose of healing my self and beyond.

Love Light Vibes

Megha

I write as an act of re-membering HIM, ME and all those connected to US.

My father was not just a man, He was one of his kind; a mind of his own, a depth that none could understand. Someone from whom I have learned the love for words. This very love I kept running away for years.

To have had him as genitor was no and is no easy legacy, he was not just intelligent, striking, crazily weird but he had his darkest side - a side which me and my sibblings saw.

And to be called his physical carbon copy was no easy weight for me to carry. A resemblance that made sick for years even after his death.

He has been one of the most shifting journalists Mauritius has had. He has had his glory days and his doomed days. And our family doomed along with him, deep in his oceans of Rhum. And it went for years till 19th January 2003 on the eve of his 48th Birthday.

Death does not heal wounds and death does not bring answers to endless questions a child’s heart can carry. So his death never brought justice to neither me nor my sibblings.

When he was here, I would run away from this legacy that this whole world was trying to throw on me and when he passed away, I speeded my pace away from all that could ever have been HIM.

And for eight years, I would numb every single memory of HIM ensuring that no one could ever remind me of who my father was. I was not a bad person and I am still not a bad person but I was simply fighting my way through that which was paining me for years.

And as I reached my 27th birthday, everything shifted, my whole life crumbled down and within that space, I made the choice to look at that which was killing me slowly. And out of this phase, came life’s shifting questions “Who am I? What ignite me from within? What is it that makes me soar?

There he came shyly, Koomara Venketasamy, he took his time and he stepped into my space again. This while he waited till I was ready to look, till I was ready to listen, till I was ready connect.

And from there on, it took me three years to mourn his death. From then on, the words started flowing.

He came to bestow me with one of my gifts – the power through words.

Today, I write because that’s part of my legacy.

I write because this is what HE taught me; this is what HIS storms roared to me; this is what HIS eyes whispered to me.

I write to honor this legacy that I have despised for years.

I write as an act of re-membering HIM, ME and all those connected to US.

I write because my heart knows no other ways to sing.

I write because I have learned that there is tremendous healing in words

I write because deep within I know that the world’s magic lies within words

I write because I cannot do otherwise

I write because this is my way of letting HIM know that “I am growing more and more into ME and I will never give up on ME.”

 

Grieving does not happen overnight and it takes the time it takes. It takes years and lives. It is very challenging to mourn death of close ones and it is no easy task to embrace legacies coming from them. I know no easy pathway to this but right now, at this very instance, I know that the legacies carry wisdom. I know we are the Guardians of the Wisdom to be handed over to the next generation of Magic Weavers.

The quality of our relationship with others mirrors the quality of our own self-relationship.

“He is not the way he is meant to be with me”, she heaved

“What is this way that he is meant to be with you?” I asked.

Silence.................., “well, I don’t know”, she mumbled.

I pushed gently, “so please describe to me the way he is with you right now”, and the details flooded in.

“When you say he is not the way he is meant to be with you, it is compared to what?”, I asked.

“Well others, you know how others are and how they live together,” she hushed.

And then she fed me with details and information about that which was happening within.

We are immersed in the month of love but as we speak of love, we have unfortunately built fantasies around what love is and how relationships are meant to be.

There are no one-way rules to be in relationships, there are for sure some non-negotiables that have to be present in any healthy relationship and these are: boundaries, respect, honesty, commitment and communication.

 

And while we roam this world expecting our relationships to be picture perfect, “You are the One who has vowed to serve your significant other till your last breaths and Your Significant Other has committed to wipe your tears eternally.”

Get off that illusionary tree, relationships do not happen this way.

Each individual comes with his/her own personal story, wounds, pains, fears, failures, limited beliefs, successes, magic and awesomeness. A person’s ability and willingness to connect with another, is directly linked to that person’s connection to him/her self and own his/her story. And this is not always an easy path for we live in a world bombed by fakedness.

When we choose to be with someone and feel for someone, it means we have actually choosen to commit to embrace that person’s personal story, wounds, pains, fears, failures, limited beliefs, successes, magic and awesomeness.

This asks of us compassion, ability to hold space and the knowingness that what the other person feels, says and how he/she lives comes from that person’s story, wounds, pains, fears, failures, limited beliefs, successes, magic and awesomeness. But to able to hold space and to stand in compassion for someone else, , all this is linked to our own understanding, embracing, acknowledgement  and owning of our story, wounds, pains, fears, failures, limited beliefs, successes, magic and awesomeness.

You cannot give to others unless you have given to your self.

 

Our relationships say a lot about us. If we are constantly ending in relationships where we feel left out, betrayed, unheard, unseen and unfelt. Then I wonder, “What parts of us are we not listening to? What parts of us have we been running away from? What is yet to be acknowledged, healed and embraced within?”

The quality of our relationship with others mirrors the quality of our own self-relationship. A truth that is not always easy to digest because there will always be persons with whom we will bond easily and there will always be others who will keep triggering us.

 

Instead of trying to box our relationships based on external representations, now is the time to pause and seek what bits and pieces of us are yet to be acknowledged, healed and embraced and while we are at it, how can we allow others to go through whatever they are going.

Centuries ago, one of my most favorite teacher, Rumi whispered this on healing:

"Lose yourself completely. Return to root of the root of your own soul."

The one truth is , as we heal so others heal. For as we return to root of the root of our story, wounds, pains, fears, failures, limited beliefs, successes, magic and awesomeness,  we grow in our own understanding, compassion and acceptance. As we grow in our own understanding, compassion and acceptance, we heal and as we heal, we  grow into something that understands, accepts and holds compassion for others' story, wounds, pains, fears, failures, limited beliefs, successes, magic and awesomeness.

Fix it Right Here and Right now.......

My first morning of 2018, I spent it with my friend Chaya. We hit the road at 04.30am, morning walk and swim. Today, I write from a place of high inspiration and deep gratitude with one of Chaya’s photo next to me.

A new year and we are all trying to get it right; they say a “great start means a great year”.

We are many in this frenzy of “fix it right here and right now.”

This blog speaks of a topic that most of us struggle with, to an extent of not living out fully.

A client, Sharon shared that she is at a company and in a position that is no longer challenging her. She wants to move forward in her career but she is frustrated with herself because because she is no more motivated.

A friend of mine is going through a tough phase, the love of his life is getting married to someone else. He really believed that he had finally found the one, and it is hard to him to reconcile with whatever is happening in his life.

My client, Faizah, just started dating a friend’s brother. It’s going well, but she’s having doubts, she is not entirely sure. She kept saying to herself and to me, “I shouldn’t be having these thoughts or doubts because he is a great guy. But still!”

A close one went through a miscarriage last week. She’s rightfully heartbroken, and very surprised by the amount of emotions that are coming up for her with this loss. 

In 2016, I made choices, moved out of partnerships but then I went through a phase of intense emotional release. I was in total denial and deep anger for over 3 months. It just did not make sense to me how I was going through this after years and months of inner works and healing.

There is a common thread in these stories “Why me? Why now? How come? Why Universe, why could not things be easy and loving for at least once? How come I was blind again this time? Why can’t I figure it out? When will this end?”

Our minds have been trained to fix. Our immediate reaction will be to go over the “Why? How? When?” while carefully resisting “what is”.

 

“What is” is the reality that which is happening right now. A reality based on how you experience life, and instead of acknowledging and giving space to “what is”, most of us will dive fast for that future.

 

May be you want “what is” to go away.

May you are tired of feeling that way and you want it to change now.

But when we are in so much pain, our minds will not let us feel all the feelings that come up.

Our minds won’t let us feel all the feelings that come up when we are in so much pain. It will go straight to researching, analyzing, isolating, segmenting, dissociating, associating and doing till it hits a point. Then the mind will try to find the lesson behind and try an action plan to get over it.

 

Our mind won’t allow us to take in “what is” because it’s too busy trying to fight or flee from the emotions into “fix it” mode. 

Pausing to acknowledge and face “what is” is in truth, honoring ourselves by being really honest about what we are feeling or thinking right now in this moment fully, without justifying or diagnosing. 

When I asked my client Sharon, why she feels she needs to be focusing on her career when she is no more motivated, she answered, “Because I’ve always been that person, especially in my family - driven to really feel accomplished in my career.” 

Can you see her attachment to what she’s known herself to be, a specific identity, is keeping her from being honest and real about what she feels right now? 

My friend said to me, “I’m just mad at her. I am mad that she broke a relationship that felt so real and loving. How can she not see that and how could she do this to me?”

He followed that up with, “But does that sound like I’m playing the victim? Does not mean that I am not connected and enlightened enough?” 

Do you see how he starts to let himself feel what is real for him right now in the moment, and then shuts it down to try to be somewhere else? 

I smiled, “Is this playing victim? But are you allowed to be pissed that this is happening because that’s how you feel right now in this moment?”

I asked the client who is dating her brother’s friend what she was actually questioning. She said, “I’m just being superficial and dumb.”

She said, “He doesn’t seem as sophisticated as I thought he would be. He’s divorced and I feel he’s still holding on to some parts of that relationship. Also, at times I feel he can’t meet me at my intellectual level.” 

And each time she wanted to go into how she doesn’t really know him yet, and how she could be wrong, which is true, I just kept bringing her back to allowing herself to admit what she’s thinking.

After she rattled off a bunch of doubts I said, “How does it feel to just be honest with yourself without trying to change it?” 

She said, “I actually feel lighter cus most of these doubts aren’t really true. I feel like I have more space to also explore and just see what happens.” 

When I asked my close one how she’s FEELING after the miscarriage, she said, “I’m just trying to figure out the lesson behind why this happened and what caused it.” 

Notice how she didn’t really answer my question. She didn’t reveal how she was feeling at all. This is normal because facing the emotions can feel so hard.

The first and only step to taking in “what is” is asking yourself, “What am I honestly feeling right now?” “What am I honestly thinking right now?” And allow it fully. Accept it fully. Then we can have space to move forward differently and transform into what we desire. 

Unless we allow our selves to see the picture of whatever we have crafted ,we will not be able to re-craft some new inner sceneries for an elevated new journey.

Is it hard for you to take in “what is”? How do you move through difficult or painful moments? 

Did this blog serve a purpose for you?

What legacy do you want to leave?

I am dwelling in a space where I feel called to set my intentions like never before.

These questions have been swirling in my space for a week and today, I hand them over to us and for us.

What legacy to do you want to leave behind?

What is that gift of your presence that you want to leave behind when you depart this human body?

What and how and who do you want to be remembered as?

Maybe you want to be remembered through your children or through your significant other or through your work or through your family. Regardless of what legacy means to and for you, know that this is your legacy and every legacy matters for they become part of this world and will serve the purpose to fuel love within this world.

And as I walk through this phase, I wonder about so many of us – I wonder about the process that we all go through consciously and unconsciously. This phase is teaching me that it will take more than just well-defined specific intentions to reach that specific destination.

There is an element that most of us do not talk about; something that most of us shy away from for this is probably an aspect that has been misunderstood and demonized from the very beginning of life.

POWER!!!!!!

 

When I say “POWER”, I refer to the innate ability, wisdom, gifts that each one of us carries within. The POWER to CREATE, to CO-CREATE, to SUPPORT but also the POWER to DESTROY and to ELIMINATE.

I know that I am not the only one and certainly that the last  to struggle to owning her POWER. My POWER to CREATE, to CO-CREATE and to SUPPORT. And I stay very much present to my POWER to DESTROY and to ELIMINATE.

I am learning to walk towards HUMILITY instead of PLAYING SMALL. PLAYING SMALL is one thing and STAYING HUMBLE is another thing.

HUMILITY comes from the KNOWINGNESS that there is no SELF-MADE  BEINGS on earth, WE ARE WHO ARE We in this moment in time, for OUR EXISTENCE has been IMPACTED by and through the EXISTENCE of OTHERS (those who came before us and those who are right here right now). This PERPETUAL SYNCHRONIZATION OF LIFE into our EXISTENCE, whether we BELIEVE IN IT or NOT  whether WE ARE AWARE OF IT or NOT, speaks of this INTERDEPENDENCE that EXISTS THROUGH and WITHIN each one of US. This is HUMILITY, this KNOWNINGNESS that our STORIES are INTERTWINED and our PATH is the SAME though we DEFINE it DIFFERENTLY.

 

PLAYING SMALL is SELF -DEFEATING. It is an energy INTENTIONALLY INVESTED to HIDE the LIGHT, the SHINE, the BRIGHT and WISDOM that naturally OOZE from WITHIN. This is TIRESOME and this is UNDIVINELY and UNLOVING.

The other side of the HUMILITY and PLAYING SMALL is OVER-TAKING, wanting it ALL for US. DESTROYING and ELIMINATING with the sole intention of FEEDING our POWER to keep DESTROYING and ELMINATING.

We are many to shy at the mention of POWER. For we never understood that as much it may be easy to be corrupted, we will never move ahead unless we own our POWER. Regardless of how we funnel that POWER, we will be called to balance our actions in future. ABUSE of POWER will have to be settled as much as LOVE through POWER will be rewarded. This is the BALANCE of LIFE.

 

What does POWER have to do with LEGACY?

Intention setting is a creative process and such process summons parcels of our beings unknown to us. Such process beckons our POWER to to CREATE, CO-CREATE, SUPPORT, DESTROY and ELIMINATE.

Such process asks of us to own our inner light, shine, bright and wisdom. The bigger the intentions, the more POWER is activated from within. A POWER that SEEKS to swirl through this world.

Those who have made it through history, impacting the world but first their families, with deep rooted legacies whether they are known  or unknown, whether they were parents, lovers, teachers, gardeners or writers, they did one thing – they owned their POWER. Maybe they never understood it but they OWNED every part of their being that carried the POTENTIAL to CREATE, CO-CREATE, SUPPORT, DESTROY and ELIMINATE.

When you start owning that POWER to CREATE, CO-CREATE, SUPPORT, DESTROY and ELIMINATE, the one thing that happens is you become a CUSTODIAN of and to a LEGACY which will handed from and through you to others. It could well be a LEGACY of LOVE, of HOPE, of NURTURE, of CONNECTIONS, of CONCEPT, of BUSINESS. Whatever it is, to be able leave a LEGACY behind, you have to BECOME the CUSTODIAN of whatever it is first. To become the CUSTODIAN of WHATEVER it is, you will have to OWN your POWER, knowing that while you can CREATE, CO-CREATE and SUPPORT, you can also easily SWAP to DESTROY and ELIMINATE.

 

The equation is simple:

 You can GIVE only what You HAVE.

You GIVE when You are a CUSTODIAN,

someone who GUARDS,KEEPS and NURTURES

 whatever it is.

You BECOME a CUSTODIAN when You OWN your POWER to BECOME the CUSTODIAN

Benazir Bhutto , Mahatma Gandhi , Margaret Thatcher, Martin Luther King, Maya Angelou, Nelson Mandela, , Wayne Dyer and Sojourner Truth  they were all CUSTODIANS. They have probably struggled with POWER but had they not owned their POWER with the awareness that every step of theirs could and would change the world, we would not be the keepers of their legacies of LOVE, TRUTH, FREEDOM, HEALING, HUMANITY and  much more.

What legacy to do you want to leave behind? What is it that gift of your presence would you want to leave behind when you depart this human body?

What and how and who do you want to be remembered as?

Who are you as a Custodian? What do you want to guard, to nurture with the intention of handing over to the next generation?

How can you lead the way through by owning your POWER and staying PRESENT to your innate ability to DESTROY and ELIMINATE?

Whatever it is that you choose as path, at one point, you will be called to balance every investment you made through the use of your POWER. Keep in mind that the only mercy you will experience will be that of you facing the wrongs that you have done. You are the Alchemist.

Re-Writing our Narratives of Whatever it is

I feel as days stretch, we will no more be able to escape the one pounding whisper “it is time to review your narratives of whatever it is.”

I pause and I scan my path up till now. I see, I hear and I feel how those narratives handed over to me, were in turn validated by my self until I ended up building a huge chunk of life around it.

There is much to say, to state and even more to shatter.

I am about to open my Pandora of churning thoughts owning responsibility to review every words in years to come; acknowledging that this life itself is no constant. One day, I will be asked to unlearn everything that I am about to learn.

 

Here are my whispers

1. Love is not what we know of love

Love is not always some comfortable thing. When true love steps in, this love will take you on an unlikely ride. A bumpy shaky ride that forces you to face your fears, your unworthiness, your limits and your wounds. 

You will be nauseous with this kind love. I am not speaking of narcissistic love, though even these relations have their roles to play on earth.

I am speaking of a love that is so pure that it comes into your life with the sole purpose of moving you to closer to you. And for this inner closeness to come into being, you will have to let go of everything that hinders your path to you.

Know that if ever you were to fall unto such love in your life, then you are a blessed one. When your love mirrors your fears, your unworthiness, your limits and your wounds – know this is the beginning of a whole new journey where you will be taught to you are deep within to emerge.

Such pure love redefines compassion.

2. Compassion does not mean that life will save from your phase

Being compassionate does not mean that life will pause to come to your rescue. Being compassionate does not mean that life will interfere on your behalf to smoothen the process you are going through.

Compassion means that space will be held for whatever you are going through, knowing and believing that you will make it through. Being compassionate means that life stands in awareness that this phase is exactly what you need to make it through and this is your battle. Prayers, Wishes and Humming will talk through with you but life will never INTERFERE.

Life will never INTERFERE until you learn to INTERFERE on your behalf.

This will ask of you to raise one tiny finger and this is enough to keep you going.

3. Alchemize this belief of pain sine-qua-non to learning and growth

We have been brought up in an illusion of stability and success

Change scares us; Change brings to surface our deepest fears. Change announces a new world and we resist this. Growth is scary for this world practices the doctrine of selling “growth equals to pains”, there is no growth without pains.

Our true nature is not aligned to pain, so we try to fix pains, we run away, we hide, we stuff and we numb.

It is our resistance that causes pain. Know where your resistance comes from, know why you are comfortable in this old, know what it symbolizes for you

Know also that you cannot resist change. As much as change can be smooth in the beginning, it will be violent if you have let it accumulate for far too long.

Pain is a result of unawareness, of wanting to fix things, of holding on and of being afraid.

None knows what is ahead but there is a promise from life, when you release that which dis-serves you, the rest will fall in place.

4. Discomforts are not meant to be fixed

Human beings are gifted with a palette of emotions. We have been taught and told about synthetic happiness. A marketed image of happiness which dictates that moment of discomforts are to be fixed and corrected.

There is nothing wrong in feeling discomfort. This discomfort is here to teach you something. It is telling you something. It is here for a reason. Stay with it

Know that nothing is wrong with you. You will feel, you will question. You will doubt. You will compare. You will freak out. You will drag yourself. You will cry. You will be angry.

Until you find your own way through. You will have to rock bottom until your suffocation kicks you to make a choice to reach out for your light. This is being human.

5. Trust your Feeling

Feeling is that space within, when you know that which you know not how –

this Unknown Knowningness.

There is no logic here. No oracle can predict for you. No healer can smoothen your path.

This is about you and your journey.

Perhaps the biggest challenge of any human this moment onwards is to start trusting his/her flow, knowing that there is no logic to this flow.

There will be no instant validation for what which you FEEL. This instant gratification, we have been domesticated into, holds no space as we move forward in our consciousness.

This is about your training into TRUST.

 

6. Whoever teaches you to curse others’ differences, know this is not DIVINE

We have wasted enough lives being scared of that which differs on the surface.

Religious Leaders have played a wicked role in fueling this.

Know that the path we are going is asking us to rewrite the narratives of what being different mean but most importantly to heart our differences for at their core rests the keys to our healing and elevation.

Whatever, whoever, wherever, whichever, however, you were brought up to believe in, know that you will have to let go of that fear of the differences; know that this is no one way to meeting Divine.

And if there exists one way, then that way is that you shredding all that is not Divine within you.

2018 announces itself as a SPECTACULAR year, most of us will BE NO MORE the SAME by 2019. WE will undergo TRANSFORMATION like NEVER BEFORE. WE will be LOST, WE will AGONIZE, WE will  be SCARED and WE will SCARE the WORLD.

But ultimately, WE will FIND our WAY THROUGH, for that’s the PROMISE from LIFE, “WE WILL ALL END UP HOME EVENTUALLY.”

"Whispers of Faith" is One Month Old

I am still digesting what I did, how I did it and all the support that has been flooding my way since.

I never once questioned why I was being pushed to move ahead with this book.

From the very BEGINNING, there HAS BEEN and there is STILL

this UNKNOWN KNOWINGNESS that this PROJECT had to be BIRTHED.

Took that risk, invest time and finance and most importantly trust people who joined this ride. Today, I stand in my most vulnerable skin whispering to me, you and us as we close off this year.

Four months ago, I first uttered this phrase “Whispers of Faith” and off, we ventured through this journey. What happened to me and to us along way feels like an entire life. 

 

Mid November 2017, as we neared the closing of this project, I was plunged into darkness and I lingered there for days.

But what happened exactly?

My faith was annihilated; that in which I have ever believed in was being washed away. This was the scariest part of this journey. How do I stand and talk about Faith for my Book Launch when I could no more believe in that which was handed over to me from the very beginning of this life?

How do I keep moving? How do I keep communicating to people who were part of the project?

The Gods, the Goddesses, the stories and the myths, they no more stood for me in that moment in time. I understood I was over them and this frightened me. Not that I no more believed in the UNSEEN, the UNFELT and the UNHEARD. My connection WITH, TO, and THROUGH Divine was being REWIRED. I was being REWIRED.

The inner violence and agony that I have been through were the results of me holding on to that which were being asked to be alchemized. I was chasing the bits and pieces of beliefs and patterns that were no more serving me.

 

Despite, my awareness, I was not fully able to SMOOTEN my steps through this darkness. Resistance is part of our human domestication until we reach a peak where our physical body will push us to surrender.

I went through that phase and it felt unfair. I saw, I felt and I heard myself crying, “Why Universe, you asked me to proceed with this project and why this agony now?”

 

Witnessing my entirety crumbling down and still having to move ahead for everything was set in motion for the Launch.

The launch happened and things happened way beyond my expectations and plan.

“Whispers of Faith” is one month old today.

 

Where do I stand right now?

I am still on my path, moving ahead. But no more the same, hear my heart whispers today:

1. Know that the ANNIHILATION of your FAITH is part of the PATH OF FAITH

There will be pivotal phases in our life when all that we have ever believed in, will crumble down for the real, for the true and for truth to step in.

It is part of a plan beyond us; whether we want it or not, we will be called in due time to release beliefs that hinder us from connecting deeper within without.

Whether we seek it or not, there will come a time when we will have to release limited patterns to step in our role to support the elevation of this world.

Where are you in this moment in time? What do you feel? What does your body say? What movies is your mind theatering ?

Know that as we release that which has served us, newness will step in. This is the promise from Life.

2. Initiation through Your Self

Whispers of Faith came to me as my initiation into my path of Faith

A path that asks to TRUST the UNSEEN, the UNFELT and the UNHEARD, that which dwells within, that which leads within, that which guides within and that which whispers within.

A path that asks to FEEL, SEE and HEAR DIVINE beyond what this world teaches us.

And this can be confusing, for I am intentionally choosing to use the word DIVINE, to intentionally VOID the space so that you find your WAY THROUGH.

This can be SHAKY, UNGROUNDING and CHAOTIC.

Chaos is part and parcel of any initiation.

I have witnessed the chaos, I became Chaos and I emerged from Chaos into Grace.

But we have over-fanaticized pain as a key ingredient to growth. Pain happens because of resistance.

Where is resistance happening in your life? Seek help and release it.

Know that when you are initiated, you will be asked to release the old for the new to step.

You will have to be willing to lose everything,

to literally fail to connect to your self

Know that any initiation has for purpose to move you closer to Divine, closer to You.

In the end this is about you and you.

3. Compassionate Divine

Divine is utterly Compassionate. While you wiggle in agony, you are never left on your own, not even for a millisecond.

While it is easy to curse our circumstances, while it is even easier to embrace the fatality of our life, know that we have been and we will always be supported, guided, loved and led by something way beyond us.

Wherever you are in this moment in time, know that the love, the support, the guidance, the embrace that you are seeking, are right here with you surrounding you and humming for you.

If only, you would allow yourself to believe, to listen, to trust as you move ahead

What difference will it bring to your life, if you would pause just for a few seconds to listen, to believe and to trust your unknown knowingness?

 

4. Trust, Trust and Trust

We have been trained to seek logic and reasoning. Our mind says things, our body senses something else and our feeling knows what it knows not.

This is the perfect conflicting equation.

This is what I have learned.

Number 1:My Mind

My mind will drama through but I have a choice to follow  or not. My mind is such a magnificent tool that it will craft stories and movies and cloud my senses and my vision.

My mind roars control. But control for what, of what, of who?

Are you clouded? Is there an excess of information? Do you no more know what and who to trust?

Number 2: My Body

My human body is far way sensitive. My body senses that which I do not always hear, see and feel. My body knows which way is good for me, which place will drain me. My body is constantly communicating to me.

What is your body telling as you read those words? When did you last listen to your body?

 

Number 3: My Feeling

This unknown knowingness, we all have it. You have it too. And there is no logic to it

There is no instant validation for this unknown knowingness.

And this is how your trust and faith are reinforced – you trusting this unknown knowingness of yours.

We all have this one thing at least, that we know without knowing how. that one knowingness for which we have no logic, no explanations. Use that one unknown knowingness as a starting part to build your inner muscles as you walk your walk through.

Know that this is YOUR PATH and it is only UP TO YOU to find your WAY THROUGH

Know that as you START TRUSTING your

UNKNOWN KNOWINGNESS, your BODY and MIND will align.

Know that whether you WANT it or NOT, you WILL eventually LOSE everything that COMES between YOU and YOUR ELEVATION

Know that every PROJECT will ASK of a DIFFERENT version of YOU

Know that as we USHER our WAY into 2018, we are being ASKED to SHIFT, to CHANGE and to TRANSFORM into something WAY BEYOND that which we KNOW

Know that a NEW YOU will be BIRTHED

TRUST TRUST TRUST

My deepest wishes of love, light, abundance, gratitude and vibes for 2018

May this New Year open doors within without

May this New Year moves You Closer to You

Love Light Vibes

How do you find your path?

We are standing at crucial point in time, another year drawing it’s end and we are many questioning our reasons for being present in this moment in time and the way forward.

These past weeks, I have been blessed to witness amazing human beings who are at crossroads and the questions that they keep asking is “How do I find my path? How will I know that this is the way to go? And what if I choose one way and then I end up missing the actual path?”

There is no one way to finding your path. No one can truly predict this life for you. But, there are some key triggers as move through with your questions.

 

1. No One can answer you, not even an Oracle

Know that this is your path and things will be shown to you and only to you.

As you grow in awareness of your inner world – beliefs, agreements, values, feelings, emotions, sensations, body and memories, you will then have a deeper understanding of how to shift in an empowering way to navigate through this life for your life.

Do not be fooled by anyone telling you that they will show you the way.

Facilitators and coaches play a role of guiding you to uncover your inner world but in truth, we are as novice as you to that which is happening within you

2. Let go of that which is weighing down

What is coming between you and you?

We have been taught and told to be this one, that one, the other and some other one.

No one never told and taught you that finding your path will ask of you to let go of everything that is not you, let go of the masks that you carry, of the things that are not aligned to your heart, let go of instances, places, relations, people that are not honoring you.

Truth be, we know, we see, we feel and we hear that which are not aligned to us. But we are a touch scared for if we let go of them all, what will become of us?

We will become more of us and as we become more of us, the rest flow in.

For you to step in, space is crucial. As you let go, space is created.

3. No wasted Energy

You may be one of those who have been exploring so many paths, creative flows these past years.

Know that there is nothing wrong. Trust that one day you will join the dots.

You may be in a white collar job right now, wondering whether all these acquired skills and competences will serve a purpose, were you to take the leap to create your own way.

Every tiny step, you have taken so far are serving a purpose in your present and they will serve a purpose in future.

There is no such thing as wasted energy on earth.

Those certificates and work experiences, they will serve their purpose regardless of where you land in life. Some of them will have to be released but the human experiences will never go to waste.

Be reminded of this!

4. Go with the flow

Give your self permission to go with the flow of life but be present to what “going with the flow of life” means.

In no way it means sitting here and waiting for things to happen. In no way it means letting others come in your space and pulling you in all directions. In no way it means following others blindly.

Going with the flow of life, means acting on your intuitive flow.

There will be moments when you will feel led, guided and called from within in a specific direction to the external world. Go ahead! Follow your calling for it comes from inside of you

Yes these are also times when having an open heart to heart conversation with a coach and a facilitator can prove to be crucial for you will be held in a way that will allow you to listen to your inner callings.

Move ahead and try that which your heart is attracted. Try that which carries no logic yet it sings to your heart like none.

How do you find this one? You know it, as you close eyes, you see, you feel and you hear your self doing that which sings to your heart like none.

5. Know that one day you will have to funnel it down

As much as it is healthy to explore, know that one day you will have to make a choice to funnel it down.

One day, you will have to pause and choose among the other choices that ignite you from within.

And I often hear this from clients, “what if this is not the right path? What if I miss out on the rest if I choose this one?”

There is no bulletproof answer to this one. But there are two keys to all this:

First Key – Inner Power

When you make a choice, you will start gathering a specific inner power to move through this choice. As you gather inner power, you grow deeper from inside. This is crucial, regardless of what will happen to you, growing into you is the most important part of your path.

Know that the mere act of choosing is enough for you are allowing yourself to grow.

Allowing yourself to go in itself will ensure that you will be lead exactly where you are meant to

Second Key – A choice is not The Path

There is no wrong or right choices. Your choices will flow lessons, love, wisdom and healing your way.

For this to happen, you will have to open up a touch through each step.

For this to happen, you have to understand that A choice is not The Path.

While what you choose can shape your life for years ahead, know that what you choose will also sharpen your intuitiveness through life, even if it means letting go of this choice in future.

It is you and your intuitiveness that find the way to your path.

And you will never know this unless you choose.

6. You have always been on your path

You are already on your path, yet no one told you this.

You have been on your path from the very beginning.

Your fears of failure and of getting hurt and the external world’s definition of what “being on the path” means, have kept you blinded from seeing that you have always been on your path.

If we were to ask you to pause just for a few minutes and scan your life of what you have known of so far, we are sure you will find bits and pieces and glimpses of how you have always been right where you are meant to be.

You do not have to quit everything and go on mountains and retreats to mediate. But yes, you have to start clearing the mess off your vision to see whatever is in front of you to allow your self to pave your way consciously from this moment onwards.

Meditation, prayers, yoga, life coaching are pathways that play a vital role for they bring you closer to you.

As we close off this one extra long blog,

Pause, Breathe and Know that You are Already on Your Path, whether You BELIEVE or NOT.

Know that You will have to KEEP CHOOSING, CHOOSE that WHICH SINGS to YOUR HEART

You will have to ALLOW YOUR SELF to be EMERGE

As You EMERGE, YOUR INTUITIVE FLOW WILL PAVE YOUR WAY THROUGH

Some Whispers of Truth

View fullsize

It’s been one week since we have launched “Whispers of Faith”.

I say “WE” for had it been not for the support, love, guidance and energy of collaborators, mentors, sisters, brothers , friends and for so many of you , this project would not be where it stands today.

This is what I have been through, here is what I saw, this is how I felt and these are what I heard.

We all enjoy being witness to the unveiling of some magic, of some awesomeness.

This awakens our inner dreamer, this inspires us and we aspire to bring our own magic unto this world.

Yet we rarely ever question the process behind. What brought someone to where she/he person stands today?

I am reviewing my own process at this moment in time. There’s much to say and share.

First and Foremost

It is easy to talk about FAITH, yet it feels fairily foolish to even try to sell stories of FAITH.

FAITH means to believe in the unknown, the unseen, the unfelt and the unheard. Faith is far beyond a belief. FAITH by default means that it cannot be shaken.

But FAITH is such path that is not devoid of doubts, confusions, pains, hurts and wounds.  Those of us, who will consciously walk the path of spreading FAITH, we will first and foremost be purged of everything that comes between us and that which we define as FAITH.

Doubts, Fears, Tears

Know that when you dive into a project, regardless of it’s depth and immensity, there will be great moments of awe as well as moments of doubts, fears, pains and freaking.

Most teachers do not talk about it. Rather, they ask you to REFOCUS and BE POSITIVE.

I say, FEEL what YOU FEEL. Own it, but know that this is temporary but most importantly know that this FEELING is here to TEACH YOU something about YOU.

Doubts and fears  do not just happen; they speak of your fears, of your stored wounds, of your unhealed parts.

We have all them. You have them and you may well be licking them right now for they were named.

This implies that you will freak out, you will want to quit, you will want to run away, you will want to bury your self  somewhere. Exactly how I felt all along way.

 

None of this means you are UNWORTHY. It may well mean that you are JUST OVERWHELMED and there are tiny butterflies asking to be LOOKED at WITHIN you. It may well mean that you have wounds that are asking to be healed.

What comes between YOU and FAITH?

What stops you from believing in life? Who cautions you from trusting life?

We are not even referring to people, objects or places but LIFE..

What is coming in your way to trusting that things can be unfold magnificently for you?

Can you feel it? Can you see it? Can you hear it?

That part of your unhealed self. Your VERY BEING.

That very part that you have bomb-stated within and then you live the same horror over and over again.

 

If there is anything hindering your way to believing in life, then that thing is inside you, ingrained deep within.

Unconsciously you have been nurturing it for years, now it is ingrained and interfering with you and your life.

We say, these are constructs; for most of life, you will construct your life unconsciously.

But when you grow a touch in your awareness, then it is up to you, solely up to you, to make a choice to start owning that which hurts, that which stinks, that which pains and that which burns within.

Know there is no end to all this

Life is an endless ride, there may be pauses but there are no stops.

Nothing ever stops. Even when you ask for pauses and for stops. Even when you pray for pauses and stops – know that the INNER WORKS GO ON.

This is a life where You will learn to EMBRACE your KIND of FAITH through the tears, pains and wounds.

 

None of these make you less of anything, even if you think you are less.

This is the truth of life and from life.

 

This is what I have been through, here is what I saw, this is how I felt and these are what I heard.

FAITH is an inside rhythm.

It happens between YOU and your KIND of FAITH.

 

And the RIDE is not OVER YET.

What if there is no such thing as falling in love?

Have you ever thought of this one single thing – what if this “story of falling in love” that you have been feeding yourself, was just a fake story?

What if there is really no such thing as falling in love?

What if the truth is that love is always surrounding you?

You often see it through the beauty of nature for they do not pinge your soft wounded parts like other humans do.

Whether you believe in it or not

Love is always surrounding you within without

 

There are those moments you meet people with whom you connect immediately, then there is this flowing flooding love.

You claim to have fallen in love with that one person. You celebrate this new connection. You name it soul connection.

What if the truth is, you have unconsciously choosen love in that moment in time?

What if the truth is, you have unconsciously tapped into love in that moment in time?

You do not fall in love, you choose love.

You choose out of millions of possible reasons.

What I am saying seems counter-intuitive and almost hurtful.

Who am I to dare to shatter this story of yours? A story of falling into love?

In my work as a life coach, I am ongoingly learning how everything about life is a choice, even the act of allowing love inside your space is a choice.

Hear my gentle whispers now:

You choose love everyday but most of the times, you do it unconsciously.

This very choice of yours tells a story of the Love Ocean you carry within

 

You choose love everyday but most of the times, you do it unconsciously.

This very choice of yours tells a story of how you can keep on feeling love for people despite all.

 

You choose love everyday but most of the times, you do it unconsciously.

This very choice of yours tells a story of how you are into love

Being into love is the essence of what which you are

What you are being asked to do from this moment onwards, is to bring the unconsciousness to your consciousness.

At this moment in time, you have choosen love for some aspects, some people, some situations, some instances, some things. And there are other  aspects, other people, other situations, other instances, other things, for which, for whom , you have choosen unlove.

If you pause enough – you will see your own story being told to you.

Yes there are inner conflicts right now, emerging wounds,pains, cringing cries.

These confuse and make you believe that love is something you fall in outside your space.

Love is a choice. Even walking away from that which affects your ecology is an act of love.

Love is always a choice.

You have made of it an unconscious choice. What if for now onwards, you start observing, seeing, hearing, hearing and sensing that which you are choosing?

Know that your ability to choose Love, tells a story of someone who already carries an Ocean of Love within.

This is your truth and this is your Story.

Today my forest is dark and smoggy and the butterflies are gone…

What if you were taught and told that being sad, gloomy and down is part of life?

What if you were taught and told that inner conflicts are a healthy aspect of life, that aspect that ensures that growth is happening?

What if instead of labeling you as “depressed”, we would simply state that “you are currently going through a phase and you are to stay with it until you learn that which is seeking your attention”?

What if for one day, we choose to honor our diverse spectrum of emotions instead of running.

What if for today, we give our sadness a throne, not because we seek to be the eternal sad one but simply we choose to be human

Carl Jung said

“The word “Happiness” would not mean the same if it were not balanced by sadness”.

There is nothing wrong in being sad, in crying, in feeling pain. What is wrong is when one stays in that phase for far too long.

As much as we eat to stay alive, as much as breathing is essential for our life, so are the emotions that we carry.

Emotions either energize us or drain us.

Sadness plays its own role in our life. At times, sadness drains us – we all know this very well.

But sadness on it’s own is not a good or bad emotion, it is just an emotion. An emotion that tells us that somewhere something just did notgo accordingly to our expectations.

Sadness is this energy motioning through our body unto our life and then, things happen to us deeply.

Sadness heightened when we battle between whatever it is and whatever ought to have been.

And it is a normal reflex. It is just a phase until one learns to shift.

Shifting here means not just accepting things for what they are but rather owning responsibility for what one feels.  But acceptance happens only when you stay with whatever it is that is happening to you.

Next time, you are drowning in sadness be reminded that there is no need to haste your self into smiling; there is no need into trying to be positive.

Be reminded that nothing is wrong with you. Know that you have embarked on your learning path and one day all this will ease from your life.

Darkness is purposeful to the forest, while some sleep,rest and heal, others live,roam and sing.

If your forest is deep dark right now and all the butterflies are gone, know that this is purposeful, know that out of this darkness more life will emerge....

Know that a little bit more of you will emerge.

Know that there is nothing wrong in being sad.

You are being taught about your humaness, know that this process will support you in playing a bigger role unto this world.

Know that you will have to dive into the transformative waters of life to get that which you want

“What do you want? Given you are here today, where do you see yourself five years down? What is your objective for asking for a meeting? What do want to explore in today’s conversation that will make a huge difference for you?”

And this drill down to specific and when we get specific into “whatever we want”, we start activating life within without.

There are instances in one’s life where getting specific can be challenging. I have been there, so have you.

A clarity conversation hence serves the purpose of getting you to move through your inner cloudiness.

Having an image, a movie, a feeling, a sound, a sense of what you want will in turn activate a process- unseen, unfelt and unheard by you , so that what you want moves closer to you each seconds.

At times, our intentions take years to manifest and some never happen. There are endless reasons for this.

The one obstacle that I often see with people that I have journeyed with is their own resistance to shifting and changing into a being aligned to that intention of theirs.

Setting intention, taking actions and keeping track of progress are unfortunately not enough. There is one truth, when you set an intention to be at a different place in a near future, you have to understand that you cannot be the same person in that future.

When you set an intention for a future, regardless of how close or near that future is, it summons life’s energy. This summoning does many things – it ensures that your intention manifests at maturation, provided you invest energy and passion and work for it but it also ensures that when that intention manifests, You the Seeker – is ready in the most appropriate form to embrace that manifestation.

For example: if you have an intention of becoming a Yoga Instructor. You start a training journey of a yoga teacher. But the person who sets that intention was not a yoga teacher. This phase of the journey reaches fruition when that person shifts physically, emotionally, energetically and mentally to become something aligned with the set intention.

Change, transformation and metamorphosis were and are inevitable part this journey.

Most of us suffer along our journey because we resist changes – we resist end of relationships, change in diets, living habits, thinking patterns and polluted beliefs.

We are living beings.  Seriously do you expect your physical, emotional, spiritual and soul space be the same when you reach that set intention?

When you set intentions be groundedly aware that change, transformation, metamorphosis are part of this process. You will have to sift and shift and elevate to embrace that manifested intention of yours. You will have to let go of beliefs, habits, people, places, things. It will feel, seem and sound chaotic but it will ease and cease eventually.

Know that you will have to dive into the transformative waters of life to get that which you want

Own Your Story Own Your Mess

So You live with a VAMPIRE

Every morning you wake up praying that the VAMPIRE will turn to beetroot juice instead of your blood

And whole day you cry about the VAMPIRE’s appetite for your blood

Still you go to bed every night, praying that the VAMPIRE will turn to beetroot juice in the morning

A VAMPIRE’S job is to SUCK blood

And your job is to keep away from VAMPIRES unless you are yourself a VAMPIRE or you are a NINJA who can knock VAMPIRES off.

In the work that I do as a facilitator and a coach – there is this one striking element, people do not shift unless until they own their story, their path; unless until they own their share of responsibility in whatever is happening to them in their life. Owning your share of responsibility in whatever is happening to you, is just the beginning of.

The point is – it is easy to blame it on VAMPIRES, on the WORLD, on your PARENTS, on your PARTNER, on RELIGION, on your PAST, on your CATS, on the WEATHER but ultimately it is always about you.

Even if it feels painful and challenging – any awakened facilitator will magik in such a way that he/she will bring it back to YOU. YOU, as the CREATOR of YOUR LIFE.

Owning your share of responsibility in whatever is happening to you within without is the beginning of a new shift, the start of healing and a letting go of what no longer serves you.

SO PLEASE STOP AND CHECK:

Do you often blame others?

Do you expect others to change and to align with whatever you have in mind?

Do you feel you are a victim and the world out there is monstrous?

Do you feel that people often use and abuse you?

Please know that somewhere along the line, you may well not be owning your share of responsibility in whatever mess you are in right now. For ultimately, it is not about people but about you.

Being in the Present Moment.......

You have all heard this one fatal phrase “Be in the Present Moment”.

For those of who have roamed enough in meditation groups, this one phrase must have been chanted to you over and over again. No doubt, you are endless who have wondered what is it that you are doing wrong for you are unable to be in the “present moment”, the way our teachers speak of.

I have tried endless techniques not to think of the past, of the future and yes, I went through endless rituals of “letting go”.

Then, I screwed my brains by declaring “self-dumbness”.

I have been there too until something clicked.

Being in the present moment does not mean forgetting about the past or not thinking of that future

Being in the present moment does not mean using some positive jargonic tools to camouflage any discomfort any fear any pains and any uncertainties

And being in the present moment does not mean using some hyper-advanced breathing technique to whoosh out that which dis-eases you

Being in the present moment means accepting things

for what they are in this moment in time

You may be trying hard to change jobs

You may be waiting for that one specific thing to happen and it has been a long wait

You may be in love and nothing is happening

You may be longing for some other lands

Maybe you do not know what is next

Maybe you are worried from this unknowingness

Being in the present moment means being with that which is happening in your space

Some things make us want to storm away

Some things make us rejoice in life

Being in the present moment means accepting things for what they are right now

With the awareness that as life evolves, seasons come and go, so will those things

Things will change, come what may

Things always change

How come things change when we are in the present moment?

Things start to shift as you grow into being in the present moment,

As you grow into acceptance, you are no more wasting your energy in resisting,

in being angry, in being sad and in being mad

You become grounded and as your groundedness deepens

Things start to shift when you grow into that state of acceptance.

A state is a deep rooted mind-body experience and your entire experience of anything is indicated by your state.

A state can be defined as - "what we feel, what's on our mind and what we feel an urge to do."

It is up to you to define what acceptance means, how acceptance looks like, how acceptance feels and how acceptance sounds.

Then use that state of acceptance strategically

When you are in your state of acceptance, you are no more struggling to shut off parts of your life.

You are just here, knowing that this is how things are right now right here.

Hence, there is no useless waste of energy, there is no struggle.

It is this very state of acceptance that will fuel your next steps.

It is through this very state that you will start plotting your next steps to shifting your life.

That state of acceptance can be used strategically to bring more awareness to you

What is working against you right now?

What is working in partnership with you right now?

What is the worst possible scenario?

Let’s plan now

We all need support and guidance to grow into our awareness. Even coaches are coached ongoingly, even coaches need ongoing support.

While you struggle with your present moment, pause and think about it – "what difference would it make to your life if you gave yourself permission to be supported and coached?"

What difference will it make your life to grow in your present moment?

In your present moment, with a heightened awareness that as life evolves, seasons come and go, so will those things

The Future is made of the same stuff as the Past. – Jose Carleton

Your Past, Your Present and Your future is of one constant and that one constant is YOU.

YOU are that VERY STUFF that will make up YOUR FUTURE.

What it means is simple, if you keep doing what you have always done, you will keep getting what you have always gotten. The world does not change but you change. You make that choice to shift and as you shift and transform, so do your inner world. A shifted inner world brings out a completely different experience of the external world.

But how does one shift? How does one ever come to a stage where one grows in awareness that there’s a need to shift? How does one do that? But most importantly why does one do that? What is the need to shift, if ever there is such a need?

In coaching, we spend hours digging with the coachee. We go to the core to uncover along with the coachee – patterns, programs, beliefs, values, rules, agreements, relationships, identity, intentions, expectation and remembering. (We do more than that but I am keeping it simple right now)

A person is more than just his/her inner beliefs, values, rules, agreements, relationships, identity, intentions, expectation, remembering. But still, the amount of energy that that person invests in his/her beliefs, values, rules, agreements, relationships, identity, intentions, expectation and remembering, carry the potential to shape his/her world.

“Your life GROWS where you INVEST.”

 

So where are you investing right now?

Tell me more about your investment? Describe it to me? Help me understand so that I better hold space for you.

Show me how you do that investment?

If I were to get into the theatre of your mind – what will I see, feel and hear?

Is that investment supporting your growth? How do you know this investment is supporting your growth? What evidence do you have?

Are you confused? Did I confuse you?

Then let’s simplify things. Tell me about your self-talks.

What stories do you tell yourself? When you are with you in those moments in time, what words do use to talk to yourself? What do believe about yourself? What do you believe about this world? What do you believe about life?

Define growth for me. What do you believe about growth? What do you value about growth?

Are your self-talks adding value to your life/growth?

Are your beliefs supporting you to grow?

What pieces of evidence do you have as you answer each of these questions?

If that which you are doing right now is not supporting your growth, what are you deciding about it? What are you choosing to do? Remember it is all about you. You are the one Constant of Your Past, Your Present and Your Future.

Do you want to keep doing the same?

Fair enough, then remember

“Your life GROWS where you INVEST.”

 

Your present will be become your Past.

You hold the POWER to be

your “KIND OF STUFF” stepping into that future.

 

Someone who steps into a coaching relationship does so with a specific objective geared towards a future. Keeping limited beliefs, unhealthy habits, unresourcefulness drain the energy and life out of your life. Most of the time, we go through life with much unawareness but as you grow into a little of your own awareness, it is becomes almost sinful to shut off to this life living within you.

Choices and decisions scare us for we hold no clue to a future future. There’s one undeniable truth, as you invest in opening up to what resonates to you, your life deepens and lightens, things that no longer serve you start living your space. Yes, you lose relationships, things, materials, places and spaces. But you lose all that no longer serves you.

Your Past, Your Present and Your future is of one constant and that one constant is YOU.

 

YOU are that VERY STUFF that will make up YOUR FUTURE.

How can We find out who We are?

No coach, no Guru, no Book, no Religion, no God, no One can answer.

You will have to find out who you are. You are more than this humanness for sure.

And if you want to start somewhere, then start by letting go of :

THAT WHICH is FAKE

THAT WHICH ASKS  of you SO MUCH EFFORTS that it DRAINS YOU

THAT WHICH ASKS of you TO WALK, TALK, LIVE, ROAM in ways that BETRAYS YOUR ESSENCE.

How to find that “THAT WHICH”?

You already know that “THAT WHICH”

They are those very things that you TRY HARD TO CONTROL

They are those very things that are NOT TRUE TO YOUR NATURAL RHYTHMS.

And as you let go of “THAT WHICH” is not aligned to your natural rhythms, SOME THINGS START HAPPENING.

You start happening.

It will scare you, it will even hurt you

For you will lose Fakedness, Masks, Relationships, Materials and much more.

And as you start losing, part of you will try to hang on – you have been used to them, it’s just a reflex – nothing more.

And as you keep on that path, your destiny will open up to you.

A destiny that moves beyond this society’s prescriptions of what is right and wrong.

A destiny that connects you to your truest.

For The Unfolding of your Destiny, you have to start that journey to letting of “THAT WHICH” which is not YOU.

 

It feels, it hears, it sounds and it even looks scary but truth be, it is not for because  “THAT WHICH” is a scary thing , for “THAT WHICH” is that ought to have no place and space within without your world.

No coach, no Guru, no Book, no Religion, no God, no One can answer.

You will have to brave through this darkness and wave your heart through ..

This is a journey that belongs solely to you.

Won't you open up

Won’t you open up to friendship my beloved?

We know you are struggling to trust

We know not much was given to you to trust

Yet not every man who moves close to you, will violate your boundaries

Won’t you open up your space my sacred one?

We know you have been bruised bad

We know you are holding on to your boundaries

Yet not every man who bows down to you, wants of your flesh

Won’t you open up to sweet words my love?

We know you have been shaken

We know your entire being in on alert

Yet not every man who compliments you, dreams of tearing your sacredness

Won’t you open up to love my precious one?

We know you are scared

We know you are holding on to your weary heart

Yet not every man who hums to you , sees you as some lustious meat

In a world where human beings have distorted the image of masculinity, 

women are scared to flow freely.

In a world where intimacy equates to sexual violation, 

women’s hearts are oozing fears instead of love

In a world where men are hurting from their blurred understanding of that which makes “a man”, women are fiercely closing up

Sisters, Mothers, Daughters, no matter what, regardless of all,

Keep your hearts open

Keep your hearts open for the sake of love, for the sake of life,

For the sake of the sacredness that leads within you

More than ever we need your openness

To awake the Sacred Warriors in Men

Those who will hum sacredness back into this world,

Into me, you and us……
