On Stillness and Belonging

February 4, 2021

“I suppose why stillness is so very moving to me is because much of my identity pours from the ongoing movement of time”

I’ve been reflecting on my sense of Self within stillness, and what stillness in effect actually means in a world which is continuously moving. Not just manmade movement with 24hr time slots to check somebody’s social updates, but the sacred cycles of Mother Earth and the Moon as well.

It’s been a year since I packed my bag and headed to Bali. These past twelve months have been a year of deep triggers, and deep healing because of it. Many of you know my time in Bali wasn’t what I expected, for various reasons.

The past 10-12 months, I have been (sub)consciously working with this concept of time and indirectly, with the themes of rooting down, grounding in my own identity and which dreams are actually mine.

Now, I’m typing this with a cat on my lap, candles lit and a relaxing playlist in the background. My heart’s full and my sense of Being is slowly but surely arriving. My soul is catching up with my body, and I am catching up with Earth’s wisdom alongside it.

It’s been a year of deep processes, and I’ve realised that no matter how hard I try, I can never truly hold onto time. I can never have her in my grasp, no matter how tightly I clutch. And this is the biggest blessing of all.

In our man-made society, we like to think we can influence time. Get up at 5AM to tick off all of our to-do’s before anyone else has opened their eyes. A black mirror in our hand which, if we want it to, will feed us information and entertainment for the whole 24 hours of our day.

What a blessing, then, to surrender to Time. To surrender to the natural cycles of life, to the sacredness of the seasons, to our bodies which know best.

There’s much for me to learn about myself still – about the trust that this surrender requires. What I do know is that there is immense power in this surrender. Stillness – not as a goal, but as the term to define the sacred rebellion against a society that expects us to defeat the natural processes within and around us.

Every feel like your energy is just leaking all over the place? ⁠
Are you pouring from an empty cup? ⁠
Are external stimuli overwhelming the sh@t out of you? 😵⁠
⁠
We often speak of 'open energy centers' when they're healthy, flowing and nourishing us. ⁠
But the other side of that coin is that the centers are open out of a defensive mechanism of our nervous system. ⁠
That we feel like we need to give, give, give in order to receive. ⁠
⁠
This means that we can feel depleted, disconnected from ourselves and easily stressed. 🙅🏼‍♀️⁠
⁠
So, what to do? ⁠
Get clear on where your energy may be leaking to. 🤔⁠
Are you overly trying to fit in sometimes? Feel like you have to hold in your words or suppress a creative nudge? ⁠
Try taking up a little more space, one step at the time, and see what may shift in your energy. My bet is that you'll feel a lot more nourished when you start to prioritise bathing in your own energy first, before you give it out to others. 🙏🏼⁠
⁠
And if you'd like guidance on this, I currently have 2 more spots available to work with me as your intuitive mentor and energy healer. I approach your self development journey holistically and always look at your nervous system and energetic body as well as the limiting beliefs which may be holding you back from living your best life. Interested? Slide into my DMs and let's talk about it! 🧡

How do you feel about your sisterhood wound? 💔⁠
⁠
It can feel so scary opening up to other women, when all we've been taught is that they're our competitors, rivals and backstabbers. 🙅🏼‍♀️⁠
Can you relate? 👀⁠
⁠
During our first ever international retreat, which is taking place in Portugal from 7 to 11 September of this year, we'll be immersing ourselves into a deep sisterhood. ⁠
⁠
What does this mean? ⁠
⁠
🧡 It means feeling safe enough to vulnerably share your current path, insecurities and feelings. ⁠
🧡 It means laughing together and feeling that heart chakra opening. ⁠
🧡 It means planting seeds together as you're building each other up. ⁠
⁠
Healing the sisterhood wound means everything for your feminine energy. 🔥⁠
⁠
Are you ready for that change? 👇🏼⁠
⁠
Join the retreat! Check the link in bio for all the details and to book your spot. I'd love to hold space for you there x
