A letter to you

 Dear (insert your name),


Please pause for a moment and with a deep breath see how far you've come! Forget the outside world and remember all of that pain you went through. If you as the person who went through them don't accept and validate your own experiences, then the world is waiting to construte it's own narrative for you(and not necessarily a pleasant version of it).

It's interesting how we all want to hear that we are not alone in this. It's time to practice your voice, compose your own lyrics and sing from your heart the song you always wanted to hear. Once you begin, you'll hear supportive voices vibrating back to join you in your choir. 

It's not too late. It's never too late to express to yourself and to others. 

To express your feelings, desires, fears, vulnerabilities and insecurities. To own up and acknowledge their existence. Acceptance can take a while but it's alright. Just take full claim of all that is you. Of all those parts that make you you. Keep asking yourself, "what's the worst that could happen?"

Take a peek from behind your high stoned walls. Maybe slowly begin to carve windows in them too. 

Eventually you'll get the strength to work a door and give yourself the permission to finally step out of the dungeons that you learned to settle in. It's time to unlearn and believe in the warmth of sunlight. Take that chance. Invite people in and listen. 

Hear their story and ask them to collaborate in your songs. 

It will soon bloom into an album and you will surprisingly even want to take it a step further and perform them traveling around. 

It's mind-blowing to think of all the wonderful things that can be! Like I began this letter, it's never too late for anything. Take those baby steps from wherever you are at. 

Everyday ask yourself if you're moving in the right direction with the right company. 

Consciously and consistently remind yourself of the things that spark joy and passion in you. Be there for yourself unapologetically with relentless and compassionate understanding!


With lots of love

Why heal?

I went on a beach date with my friend and she took a video of me dancing in the waves Watching it moved me with suprise and made me go - GOSH HEALING IS SO FRIKKING WORTH IT! Worth the awareness and acknowledgement it brings of all the pain, hurt, injustice, blame and trauma that young innocent me had faced. I felt so free! It had been a rough few days just before that date. Each time I consciously choose to address and heal a certain wound from my past, I am taken on a spin around in the dark, foggy storm, unsure of when things will settle down. But when they do always naturally calm down, I feel immensely relieved. Like a huge chunk has been lifted off from my heart. I feel like soaring, flying and dancing just like in this video! It is a lot of jumping and twirling hehe The light heartedness, the further freeing of my suppressed inner child, the wildness from within syncing with the sea breeze and the fearless dance of the waves lifting me off my feet! Once my friend told me that wa...

Healing- Ice breaker sessions with myself

 Falling deeper and deeper in love with life as each day passes by With the unfailing rising of the sun that sets on yesterdays Climbing ashore after the storms that shoved me into the chasm of my shadows Breathing in acceptance, of a breath so filled with compassion Gently soothing my ruptured nerves into a soul expanding radiance ... I've been asked many times. What keeps you going? Why do you choose to heal? Now, I'll tell you why. I invite you to listen with an open heart, forgetting everything around for a while. Imagine a frozen lake. Cold and icy shards. I'm that water within and also the ice on top. The ice that I unconsciously layered, to stop further hurt. Alas it also meant, to block out the divine flow of love. One day, tired of being frozen into survival and yearning for some fresh air, I wanted to heal. I wanted to stop piercing myself and others with the painful sharp edges of my complex-trauma icicles.* (check comments) Ever since that day, I've been liv...

Friendship

 I always preferred being by myself. I never bothered to deepen relationships because my expectations were so low that I would automatically assume the worst. I barely gave first chances or the benefit of doubts. I was just sure it wouldn't work out. I knew it was going to be temporary and would end sometime. These thoughts stopped me from reaching out and making new friends. I drew so many boundaries that they formed a wall around me. I thought I was protecting myself from rejection, betrayal and disappointment. I thought I was doing what I thought was best for me. Looking back now, I realise I've been reacting from a place of fear based control and false detachment. For years these thoughts frustrated me and made me feel helpless and lonely. In the name of having high standards I was pushing people away. I intentionally wouldn't open up in fear of sharing too much because what if after I tell my story, they leave me? What if I spend hours talking to someone only for them...
