Muse

I somehow lost my inspiration lately. I knew I was on my path, but only very few things were moving. I even went for a f&%$ freezing bath, even-though I don't like cold, because I hoped it would shake me and wake me up. At the end I enjoyed it and was very proud I did. (Highly recommended.)

I’m not going to lie I struggled a lot the past months.
Struggle is my middle name. 😂

On April 1st I had an amazing new moon Breathwork Session with Isabelle (), and it was a beautifully refreshing expierence.
There I was breathing deeply and watching my spiritual journey like being in the movies. 🍿

How is it possible that it has been already 10 years when I first came in touch with my inner voice. I saw almost every year passing in-front of my eyes, like in a timeline.
Oo my god, I felt so much gratitude for everything I have experienced. And then it hit me.

My story is my inspiration!

The muse kissed me.
I must share it.
With whom? Whoever feels drawn and is curious.
Inspiration is everywhere, if we open our senses.

Don’t worry it’s for free and I don’t want anything in return.
If you think it’s boring, I don’t want you to tell me!
My dearest and trusted friends are allowed to give the “constructive” feedback.
If you like it, feel free to show some love!

Life itself is the muse! 💋💋💋

My way

I want to tell you my story, my path, my way.
Not my whole life, only my spiritual, because I think it would be helpful for some people out there. Certainly, for me it has been very helpful in the past hearing or reading other life journeys.

At the same time, I want to honor people and places who have guided me, who taught me. I know many of you who are cautious about saying names and recommending teachers. I want to mention their names and I know they are humans, very special humans. 😇

If you are seeking perfection, you are not my cup of tea. Here is a space where mistakes are allowed and welcomed. How else can you learn best?
I have done a lot of mistakes repeatedly or let’s say, choices that made my life feel difficult and I was suffering. I still suffer sometimes 😅 or maybe many times? 😂
I don’t know. Different seasons, different perceptions.

It feels like many situations in my life were a piece of a big puzzle and each piece connects me to the next and the next…
I find the dots and I create the picture.
As time passes, I understand more and more that I`m the creator. That I can live a life by design and with purpose.
And by no means, I’m not responsible for everything that has happened to me, but I can choose how to react.

Now I know that there are so many things I don’t know.
And some I know, and I have trust in myself. Trust in life, trust in death.
I trust the universe.
Because when I started to listen, the questions, the answers, the next steps appeared.

What, you think I`m crazy? 😝 Good, because that’s only the beginning.

Love

Love and light

Are you one of those who think that spirituality is love and light?
Everything is peace ☮️ Om shanti Om!

😆 Lol, I used to be one of those.
Oo dear, I doubt if this is even possible in our lifetime. For sure there are some exceptions out there. To tell the truth, I haven’t met anyone in person, yet. But who am I to tell?

I only know, that when I tried to be love and light, quite the opposite happened. All my s**t started to come up to the surface.
So many fears and a lot of RAGE!!! Not to forget this endless sadness and grief. Grief for the years I have been suppressing my feelings.
I mean, it is physics, what happens if you put too much pressure in a container?

„The increase in pressure inside may eventually exceed the strength of the container and it will explode. “

Trust me, I’m an engineer. 👩‍💻 At least I was in a former lifetime.

I’m telling you explosions. 💥
So many emotional outbursts. So much drama.
You must be blind not to see it around you.

So please STOP expecting from me to be peaceful, only because I love spirituality.

And finally, there are the times I think I’m going crazy.
Am I out of my mind? 🤣 Sometimes I wish I were.
If I contemplate my thoughts now, for sure I’m crazy.
Thinking and thinking mostly bulls**t:

What if my religious relatives read my stories?
My mother for sure wouldn’t be happy about it.
What if I change my mind?
Am I selfish?
What if people don’t like me?

I don’t care anymore.
I care, but not as much as not to speak my truth.
I want to have people around me, who like me for what I am.

A strength I never thought I had inside me, is overflowing from me right now.
Maybe I’ll get hurt. And that’s ok. I will get over it.

After all, behind all the layers we are love and light.
Cheesy, I know.

This is how I remind me what I really am. 🥰
(Paraphrased Nickelback song)

With love and light❤️

I’m not good in writing

Techer speaking to my parents: “Ooo your daughter is smart. Yes yes, smart enough to make it to university. BUT her essays aren’t in a good level, her writing isn’t good. She has a lack of phantasy. She could do so much better, also her speaking can improve. Her expressions are too simple. She needs to improve her vocabulary. She needs to read more books, more books…”
The same comments repeatedly, for all my 12 school years. In Germany and in Greece.

Although, I read more than enough books.
Somehow, I couldn’t express what exactly was happening inside me. Not write it and nether say it. Little Katerina lost her confidence to speak up, always unsure.
This program would run in my mind over and over again. Bla Bla Bla thoughts in my head:
I have nothing interesting to say.
I am not able to express myself.
I will never be intellectual.
I don’t feel worthy to be listened to.
I don’t trust my opinion.
I am not enough.

And as if that wasn’t enough. Some years ago, I went to a writing seminar and after writing my first text I got the feedback from a strict and talented in writing woman:
“For me this text looks like, it took 30 min. to write it because you remembered by accident that you had to. It is boring and childish.” And the teacher (even if he had announced the rule, to only give constructive feedback) at that point just agreed with this woman.
I wanted to scream: It took me four f$%& hours you rude B$%&/ and I love what I wrote!
Instead, I said nothing, and I never wrote a text again, till the end of the seminar. I felt so unworthy and small. Even if after class a friend told me that she liked my text, I couldn’t believe it.

Yes, I will never win a Pulitzer or Nobel prize. hahaha
BUT,
I can and I will write whatever I want to share with the world.
I will speak about my passions and my heart desires.
And I will never ever let anyone stop me again.
I like to do whatever the fu$%& I want, because it’s fun. Just for pleasure.

I want to say THANK YOU, to the teachers and the not teachers for showing me my pain and my limitations.
And thank you to me, for looking at it and overcoming it.

Travelling alone (Μόνη σαν το λεμόνι)
Exactly this time of the year, 10 years ago I traveled for the first time by myself.
I know in many countries, for example in Germany where I live now, this is a “normal” thing to do, when you are an adult.
In Greece this wasn´t the case. At least not in my middleclass circles. It’s rare to have the money to travel to another continent (I used 5 years savings) and the traveler mindset is not very common in Greece. Also, the uncountable sunny days and beautiful places you can visit in my country, doesn’t make it any better to feel the urge to travel far away.

I let the cat out of the bag: I will go to India for a Yoga Teacher Training.
Almost everyone from my family and friends were shocked.
That’s dangerous. Are you crazy? Are you out of your mind?
But I already made my decision. You know, it was the first time, that I can remember very consciously, hearing my inner voice so strongly. It was an inner feeling, an inner knowing. This is the right thing to do for me now. This is my next step. It didn’t matter to me, what everyone around me was telling me. Even the people I love, especially them.
I didn´t feel brave. I just felt a strong desire to go there and that I can’t wait anymore. Very excited!
So many times, I have postponed a trip or any desire, because my friends didn´t have the money or the time.
And I must admit, it wasn’t easy for me to be alone in India. It was challenging to leave my microcosmos, my bubble and leave my comforts behind.
Except of my bedsheets! They had to travel with me.
Almost for the first 2 weeks, every day I was thinking to return home. I am so glad I didn’t.
I was so ignorant. There are so many ways to live your life on this earth, there are so many different realities. No, it’s not the same to watch a documentary!
Most of us have no idea how privileged we are from one side and how much we miss from another side, but that’s another story…

It’s not enough to travel, if you don’t do it with an open heart and mind. With curiosity and an attitude: What can I learn?

Retrospectively, this journey made me take another life route, another direction.
It changed me in soo many aspects.
Destiny? ❤

Hey universe! Do you hear? I am a human.

" What's all this, what's all this strange beautiful body, dragging and getting tired, feeling so deeply depleted, so incapable of living, so out of place. And why people seem to make it but for her-him everything is so, ahh so difficult.

Like a fish out of the water, like a mother without a child, like a star on earth. Immense the love and immense the terror.

Life. And there she is, approaching. The mother of all, approaching, the mother of All, with her heart, the love of the universe and she draws me back. In an instant, eternal, a thousand and more lifetimes burning into the edges, the fragile tapestry of a world, of an unknown, unspoken experience so immense. Love, where you dissolve, love where you are, This! Love, light-years away of what our awakened beings thought as enlightenment. Because true enlightenment is deeply being in these bodies, in these experiences. Light and love and nervous systems and emotions. Yes emotions, relations. Divine mother. A spirituality deeply insecure about it's tenderness, patriarchy! with one hand deleted all of you out of utter fear. And you now are coming back. For all the movement this life on earth has to offer. Because we are ready and we are ready to Deeply Commit to This Life. Here For This. Not seeking the beyond, the distance but the eternal intimacy. Awakening part 2, the real deal.

And yet you are showing one step more, the love, the compassion for all, for the old systems that we Need to find to continue from here. Because people have not looked into their hearts as children, innocently, and when they do the abyss is immense. And how to stand in the abyss..
Eternal light, consciousness what is it without compassion? There is one last step for the warrior of light in the battlefield. To understand that compassion dissolves every enemy and there is no fight. The heart existed all along waiting for the divine play to unfold. And our role is to play, now knowing who we are".

Hey universe! Do you hear? I am a human.🔥

Warum Frauenkreise 🔥

Vor 7 Jahren als ich in München lebte, habe ich zum ersten Mal einen Women’s Circle besucht. Damals war es für mich als hätte ich eine Oase in der Wüste gefunden. Selten in meinem Leben hatte ich einen Raum, mich offen und verletzlich zu zeigen, ohne das Gefühl zu haben verurteilt zu werden. Ich habe gelernt, Weiblichkeit als Stärke zu sehen.
Geleitet wurde der Kreis von der inspirierenden die danach gegründet hat. Danke Mariah, diese Begegnung hat mein Leben verändert.

Es war ein langer Prozess bis ich begriffen habe was Sisterhood wirklich bedeutet und mich selbst bereit gefühlt habe Räume der Heilung zu öffnen.

🌕
Am 15. Februar um 19:30 Uhr wird der 2. Full Moon Woman’s Circle im Entwicklungsraum Stuttgart stattfinden.
Wir werden uns an diesem Abend auf eine Reise begeben und uns mit unserem Schossraum verbinden.
Ich werde dich durch Meditationen, Atemübungen und Embodiment Practices führen.

Come as you are
Egal wie alt du bist und in welcher Lebensphase du dich gerade befindest. Es ist keine Vorerfahrung notwendig.

DM oder E-Mail earthingsky@gmail.com für Anmeldung oder Fragen.

Deine Katerina
🥰
