Title:
Roots Up: Accessing our own unique connection with the cosmic intelligence

We have been relying on religions, teachers, modern guides and gurus (something or someone outside of ourselves) to connect with the cosmic intelligence. The New Paradigm is inviting us to feel, sense and access our 'Roots Up': Our different dimensions of existence, of the experience of soul. We will open up this subject because it's now the time for us to experience this and more importantly to equip the future generations for all the changes that are happening now and will carry on taking place in the future. Accessing our inner wealth, guidance and power rather than relying on 'intermediaries' is of utmost importance in order to navigate the changes that are now taking place within our galaxy (and will carry on at a faster pace).

The key to a Joyful Life

You rarely hear from me, I know. This is about to change. It's taken me some time to humbly feel and accept the responsibility I have to myself to share my message and who I am with you - those of you who cross my path one way or the other. I will probably share more on this at some point; for now,....

One of my strong commitments is to not push myself in order to achieve. Whilst I can be very soft and receptive, I can also be determined and driven. Developing and balancing these seemingly opposing qualities has been a lifelong journey.

When I don't stay soft whilst I am active I am not enjoying the process of whatever it is that I am doing. I then look forward to the outcome in order to feel a sense of satisfaction (if I am lucky). And I end up missing out on the journey.

This morning my body was very tired. I was not ready to engage with the things I wanted to achieve. After a quick dip in the cold sea I felt a lot more energised and closer to myself. As a result I was able to listen to my inner guidance and take a much needed longer break from my work. Had I not chosen to go to the sea or find a way to activate my body and quieten my mind would have resulted in me overworking and crushing later (which is a well known pattern of mine).

Sunday afternoon walk. Moving close to nature took me a few years to make a reality. I had to leave a beautiful home with many comforts and no rent payment obligations. It was the ideal home apart from the fact that it was on a busy noisy road in a neighbourhood that I wasn't enjoying and I had to drive to spend a few minutes in nature. I was not willing to give up the comfort though so I spent a few years waiting hoping to find an equally comfortable and beautiful home in the countryside... I was waiting and waiting and my frustration kept growing. Finally I chose to move. The house I currently live in is far from ideal but it is definitely a step in the right direction. It's taking me some time to let go of the comforts I used to enjoy in my old house yet I now see it more clearly as a necessary step in order to find myself in the home that my heart desires. Symbolically my old home was my comfort zone yet there came a time that it was obvious it was not good for me to keep staying there. At the beginning I wanted to make sure that I have a new nice home to move into and I was delaying stepping out of a situation that I knew was not working for me. At some point I had to understand that I need to take the first step in the right direction and yes, there are / will be some discomfort and a lot of unknowns to face but I have to keep taking one step at a time towards what I want. Meanwhile there is so much beauty around me and within me to rest in and enjoy 😉

Celebrating self love. On this day where culture tells us it’s all about the other- inviting a turning towards the beloved of our own being. The magical, unique, never to be seen again in this form of our self. Devotion to our own heart. ♥️

This picture is a bowl of dormouse carved hazelnuts I found in the woods today! ♥️♥️♥️

Today, I felt compelled to share a precious experience of just 'being.' It’s about returning to profound tranquility by focusing on what my senses perceive - things I can see, touch, smell, taste, and hear. This brought a deep sense of calm that gently enveloped me. Gratitude fills me up, reminding us all that these moments are within reach. Sometimes, we just need the keys to unlock this beautiful mystery we all hold.
