This too shall pass. ⁣
⁣
Whatever is here in front of you, inside you and beside you, shall pass. ⁣
⁣
Spring time is a time for birth. ⁣
For renewal -⁣
Growth -⁣
Awakening...⁣
⁣
Awaken to the workings inside you. ⁣
⁣
The more you process what you’re feeling, the quicker it shall leave. ⁣
⁣
Feel it, truly embody it, and it’s gone. ⁣
⁣
Today’s Meditation:⁣
Sit. Ground down. Breathe. ⁣
⁣
Identify a moment you felt the most:⁣
Sad⁣
Happy⁣
Angry ⁣
Lonely ⁣
Loved (always end with love 💛)⁣
⁣
🧘🏼‍♀️ Sit with each emotion for 2-5 minutes (set a timer if that feels safe) ⁣
👉🏽 Identify 𝘸𝘩𝘦𝘳𝘦 you feel each emotion physically⁣
🧠 What does it bring up for you mentally, spiritually, emotionally?⁣
⁣
When we learn to feel our emotions, we are better able to release, let go, and come back to love. ⁣
⁣
And now, my love, I ask, how are you feeling today?! ⁣
How can I support you?! ⁣
⁣
Comment below 👇🏽 When we heal each other we heal ourselves heal ourselves and together, we can heal the collective 💛

You are worthy of rest. ⁣
⁣
We, especially as womxn, give and give and give. ⁣
⁣
Rest is your time to receive. ⁣
Your time to come back to yourself. ⁣
You deserve to be taken care of, too. ⁣
⁣
We fill our days with distraction. ⁣
Now, my love, rest. ⁣
⁣
How can you show up for others when your cup is empty?⁣
⁣
As the world rests, find solitude. ⁣
Journal, nap, walk alone, meditate and breathe. ⁣
Begin your journey within. ⁣
⁣
There lies the answers to your life questions. ⁣
There you will find true love, peace. ⁣
There you will find yourself. ⁣
There, you return to love.

My prayer to St. Michael, the Protector and Santa Rosalia, the woman who fled her rich life in the pursuit if God and saved Palermo from the plague:⁣
⁣
As I wrap myself in your mighty blue shield;⁣
Calling upon the saints of my upbringing, the saints of my ancestors, I feel you. ⁣
⁣
You left your family in the search of God, to be with God....⁣
As we are forced away from physical contact with others, we do His/Her work. ⁣
⁣
The earth heals as we heal.⁣
⁣
The womb of Mother Nature grows again as we grow quiet. ⁣
⁣
Please protect us. Please protect what we know for that is comfort. Give us the strength for what is to come for the anxious live here. ⁣
⁣
Offer us grace when we fall and help us rise back up. The world needs (y)our medicine. Now more than ever. ⁣
⁣
Give us the strength to share. To give and to let go. ⁣
⁣
To see life as always, a beautiful gift. ⁣
⁣
Please show us the way. We’ve been here before. ⁣
⁣
And so, I surrender. To the saints of my ancestors and the Divine that I know. Trusting. Accepting. And doing God’s work: rest. So I can heal. And in turn, the world will heal. ⁣
⁣
Sending all my love & light to you and yours. ⁣
⁣
My prayers are with you and your families. ⁣
⁣
💙⁣

Dear Mother Earth,⁣⁣
⁣⁣
I’m sorry it’s taken us a global pandemic to stop torturing you. ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
To stop suffocating you from healing. ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
We have been depriving you of the same oxygen we rely on for life. Forcing you to breathe our byproducts. ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
So together, we rest. ⁣🌎❤️⁣
⁣⁣
We have been talking about school bullying uprising, corrupt governments, paying athletes more than we pay our doctors, trying to make this world greener, text neck and how corporate America is killing our physical bodies...we have been talking but there has been no real action. ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
So now, together, we rest. ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
As Mother Nature heals herself focus on healing yours. After all, you are only responsible for yourself. ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Spend this time teaching your children how to love. How to value time together with all the people they are blessed to encounter. ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Slow down and find the time to take care of your body, send thank you cards to your local hospitals - the real hero’s. ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Take this time to go within. As Mother Earth clears her waters, heals her body and soul, heal yours. ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Together, let’s rest. ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
I love you. ⁣⁣
Please, for the sake of everyone who is at risk - young and old, avoid going out. ⁣⁣
Social distancing is self connection.

Today, I’m focusing on gratitude. ⁣
⁣
For gratitude opens the door to the universe⁣
⁣
Opens the doors for creativity⁣
⁣
For healing and for more love. ⁣
⁣
Practicing gratitude gives you more things to be grateful for ⁣
⁣
For the universal laws tell us that what you put out into the world will come back to you. ⁣
⁣
Today I’m grateful for my fiancé. ⁣
The sweetest man I know who planned out 6 different engagements ⁣
But ended up on my favorite place, the beach with my entire family. ⁣
⁣
I’m also grateful for the internet for connecting me with so many of you. ⁣
What’s app for connecting me to my family in Italy ⁣
Yoga and meditation for keeping me sane ⁣
And water for keeping me healthy⁣
⁣
What are you grateful for?! ⁣
Let’s make a list of 1,000 things. ⁣
What you got?!

17/03/2020

Stand up. Spin around. ⁣
⁣
Life is still happening. ⁣
⁣
Why is it that we have the most connection capacity (hello internet!) and yet the su***de rates are increasing, happiness in decreasing and more and more of us are anxious and depressed?! ⁣
⁣
During this time we’re asked to stay inside, distance yourself from others and people are freaking out?! ⁣
⁣
When you distance yourself from others, you have the capacity to get quiet, unwind and connect back to yourself! ⁣
⁣
Guess how we lift up the collective?! ⁣
⁣
By starting with #1: YOU. ⁣
⁣
There is a ton of free yoga and meditation out there, if you don’t know where to look, DM me or check out my live. ⁣
⁣
Start with yourself. See how by connecting back to you, you connect with others. ⁣
⁣
We can heal the world. ⁣
But it takes a team, a tribe and nation. ⁣
It takes YOU.

Find solitude in nature. ⁣
⁣
Find joy in the sun. ⁣
⁣
Hope in the water. ⁣
⁣
Love in the rain. ⁣
⁣
Release in the fire. ⁣
⁣
Faith in the dirt. ⁣
⁣
Get dirty and naked and sing and laugh and make good cheer. ⁣
⁣
With new beginnings we’re always jumping into the next thing. ⁣
⁣
I still have a few more days off that we were supposed to be in Italy, played a very expensive game of Rummy in the international airport and listened to our intuitions as we did not get on the plane to London (then London - Italy) ⁣
⁣
It was one of the hardest and saddest decisions in my life, recently. Knowing we wouldn’t be getting our money back, nor our time nor get to see the world and my grandparents. ⁣
⁣
(Saying yes to my forever man, one of the easiest.)⁣
⁣
But how can you find happiness again when your down in the dumps?! ⁣
⁣
Family. Sand. Water. Woods. Snow. Sunshine. ⁣
⁣
Nature will heal you. ⁣
⁣
If you let it. ⁣
⁣
Go rub your hands in the dirt. ⁣
I dare you to feel the healing energy Mother Earth is holding.

I do I do I do! ⁣
⁣
3.2.2020 my handsomest soul mate of a man asked me to be his wife. ⁣
⁣
I have no words, still, so I will just share this:⁣
⁣
“Real isn’t how you are made,” said the Skin Horse. “It’s a thing that happens to you. When a child loves you for a long, long time, not just to play with, but really loves you, then you become Real.”⁣
⁣
“Does it hurt?” asked the Rabbit.⁣
⁣
“Sometimes,” said the Skin Horse, for he was always truthful. “When you are Real, you don’t mind being hurt.”⁣
⁣
“Does it happen all at once, like being wound up,” he asked, “or bit by bit?”⁣
⁣
“It doesn’t happen all at once,” said the Skin Horse. “You become. It takes a long time. That’s why it doesn’t often happen to people who break easily, or have sharp edges, or who have to be carefully kept. Generally, by the time you are Real, most of your hair has been loved off, and your eyes drop out, and you get loose in the joints and very shabby. But these things don’t matter at all, because once you are Real, you can’t be ugly, except to people who don’t understand.”⁣
⁣
- The Velveteen Rabbit ⁣
⁣
Cheers to becoming real together my sweetest love 🥂⁣

Life is a meditation itself. ⁣
⁣
Meditation is being here. ⁣
Right now.⁣
In the present moment. ⁣
⁣
When you can implement that into every moment of your life I can promise you, you will be more fulfilled with the life you're living. ⁣
⁣
Even if nothing else changes. ⁣
⁣
You will find less anxiety for anxiety is living in the future. ⁣
Less depression for depression is living in the past. ⁣
You will be right here, now. ⁣
In this present moment.⁣
⁣
Are you ready?! ⁣
⁣
Link in bio to get started on your 30day Learn to Meditate Course. ⁣
⁣
In 100 days you would have wish you started today.

25/02/2020

It's that time again, the time when you would have said "no" to your happiness AGAIN.⁣
⁣
When I tell you that the price for my 30 day learn to meditate course will go up to $44 ⁣
⁣
It's time to fill up your cup. To realize that you're only as good as the energy that you have. That you're not going to help anyone by being tired, worn out and burnt out.⁣
⁣
If you're not your first priority, what is? Or better, who is?⁣
⁣
And, yes, meditation can do all of that: make you happier, lighter, fill up your cup, show you what else your body may need to feel 100%....meditation can do all of that.⁣
⁣
Trust me, burnt out does not look good on anyone. Nor does it attract any love, hope or joy.⁣
⁣
It may be working for you now, but how long can you hold this up for?⁣
⁣
If you're scared, do it anyways.⁣
It you're worried what may come up if you really have to sit with yourself, good. All of that stuff needs to come up and be healed.⁣
If you're petrified about being alone with just your thoughts, don't worry, I got you.⁣
⁣
My 30 day meditation course is a day by day, step by step approach to meditation.⁣
Half of the time I'm with you for the duration of your time. Guiding you....⁣
The other half, I leave for a little in the middle but I am always there to help pull you out of meditation. ⁣
⁣
You're not alone.⁣
Your thoughts don't need to frighten you anymore.⁣
⁣
Find a home within yourself...

"Lighthouses don't go running all over an island looking for boats to save; they just stand there shining” - Anne Lamott⁣
⁣
Do you trust yourself? ⁣
⁣
Do you search for successes outside yourself? Or can you be the success?! ⁣
⁣
What is your anchor?! ⁣
Meaning, what do you know to be true. ⁣
⁣
Our truths are always changing but let me tell you this: whenever you’re struggling, frustrated, sad or on the verge of a panic attack there are always anchoring truths around you (insert grounding here if that words resonates better) ⁣
1. You are alive⁣
2. It is sunny/rainy/overcast day⁣
3. You woke up this morning ⁣
4. You have hands and feet (if applicable)⁣
5. You are a gift⁣
6. You are God’s (Spirit/Divine’s) child⁣
⁣
What are your truths?! ⁣
Know that they are always changing. ⁣
Use your truths to ground you when times are tough. Use them to come back to the present moment where nothing is “good” nor “bad” it just IS.
