༄ Why did my soul chose to be here?

What can I contribute to the world in this point of time? In a world in which fear causes more and more separation and confusion? That's the question I asked myself two years ago. During a deep meditation I saw myself being part of a circle of people: moving, singing, laughing. Then I knew. This was my soul purpose. My mind asked me if it made any sense. My heart told me it made more than sense. By sharing music, movement and sounds with you I invite you to take place in the circle. A circle in which we are not afraid to dream. A circle in which we dare to connect with ourselves and others. A circle in which we observe and release our thoughts and emotions. A circle in which we express who we are and what we are made of: Love & Light.

Listening.

The past week my lower back flared up.
Deep in my SI joints the place that carries load.

It wasn’t random.

My body spoke.

It spoke physically through stiffness and heaviness.
It spoke emotionally through sadness.
It spoke mentally through the realization that I had taken on more than was mine to carry.
It spoke spiritually through the reminder that I long to lean back.

Listening inward is not always comfortable.
Sometimes it shows you where you crossed your own boundaries.
Sometimes it shows you where you stayed strong for too long.
Sometimes it shows you you’re dehydrated, literally or metaphorically, out of flow.

This isn’t new to me.

Practice what you preach.

So I paused.
I breathed.
I hummed.
I moved gently.
Micro-movements. Nothing forceful.

Over the years I’ve learned:
When inflammation rises, pushing doesn’t help.
Softening does.
Circulation does.
Presence does.

Root.
Keep the juice flowing.
Be there for yourself.

And from that place
you can reach out to others without abandoning yourself.

Know Thyself.
Dare Be Authentic.

There are phases in a woman’s life where the body changes faster than the mind can follow.
Sensations intensify. Emotions respond differently. What once felt familiar suddenly doesn’t.

What if this isn’t a loss of control
but an invitation to listen in a new way?

I’m passionate about exploring the inner landscape through embodiment. Through my own lived experience I’ve discovered that
noticing sensation, emotion and thought as they are, without needing to fix or explain them, creates a deeper sense of connection and safety within ourselves.

The voice plays a key role here.
The jaw, throat, diaphragm and pelvis are physically and neurologically connected
a relationship that begins in early embryonic development.
Tension in one often reflects tension in the other.
Sound and voice can offer gentle access to the pelvic and womb space, not through force, but through awareness.

Embodied practices including breath, sound and presence
are also shown to stimulate oxytocin, a hormone associated with safety, bonding and pain relief.
Not as a promise, but as a biological response to feeling met from the inside.

This is not about overriding what the body does.
It’s about rebuilding relationship with it.
And from that place, discovering that choice doesn’t come from control
it comes from connection.
✨

If you recognize yourself in this phase, know that your experience makes sense and you don’t have to navigate it alone.

What if we were taught
to look outside of ourselves
so we wouldn’t dare to look within?

What if calling God “out there”
made us forget the power,
the wisdom,
the responsibility
that lives in our own breath?

What if waiting for a savior
is the most subtle form
of postponement
waiting for permission,
waiting for rescue,
waiting for a future
that never arrives?

And what if heaven
was never meant to be earned,
but remembered?

Not after obedience.
Not after perfection.
Not after we prove our worth.

But here.
In awareness.
In how we meet fear,
truth,
and each other
without outsourcing our authority.

This is not a belief.
It’s a reflection.

Raw.
Honest.

This may meet resistance.
It may open something.

Pause.
Notice it.
Speak if you wish.

Whatever arises,
It is more than welcome here✨

There are many ways to journey inward.
No single path. No one-size-fits-all.

For me, the voice revealed itself as a powerful doorway.

A channel to:
– release what’s been held
– soothe the nervous system
– express needs and boundaries
– comfort, regulate, remember
– make myself known — gently, truthfully

The voice doesn’t ask for perfection.
It asks for presence.

This vocal transmission was recorded during the cacao ceremony of the first SOMA SOL.
No words needed. Just sound, breath, vibration.

Take it as an offering.
Listen if it meets you.

✨ Your system knows what it needs.

Authenticity, for me, is honesty.
Surrendering to truth in work, in love, in life.

And it always starts with one place:
me.

Because in every situation, every relationship,
there is one presence that always shows up.

Authenticity begins with the body.
Mine once spoke through burnout.
I followed a path shaped by fear pleasing, meeting expectations, not wanting to disappoint.

Later, I learned something deeper.

Even when you follow your passion,
every choice still asks the same question:

Am I choosing from my heart or from fear?

The answer is never in the mind.
It lives in the body.

Do I feel constantly drained here?
Or supported in a flow of giving and receiving
able to meet my needs
and continue offering what I’m here to offer?

Authenticity is not about sacrifice.
It’s about alignment.
I didn’t leave the adapted, fear-led version of me behind, I integrated her.
Love and intelligence.
Heart and body.

✨ Reflection for you: what feels aligned in your body right now?

The mind is clever.
It speaks in what ifs, shoulds, and maybe laters.

The body is different.
It’s direct. Honest. Immediate.
The body speaks truth
and that’s why it deserves to be listened to,
valued,
honored.

Embodied work is a remembering.
And the voice…
the voice is not separate from the body.
It is the body.
Breath, vibration, presence.
A gift we all carry.

This is why voice lives at the heart of SOMA SOL.
Not to perform
but to express.
Not to perfect
but to feel.

These are some of the moments that stay with me🥰

Shared movement.
Shared voice.
People arriving as they are, and meeting each other there.

Soma Sol keeps reminding me that intention doesn’t live in words alone it lives in how we move, how we listen, how we connect.

🗓 Next gathering: Saturday 24 January

Happy New Year, tribe ✨

This new year arrived for me in a very particular way.
With the beginning of my moon cycle.
With a powerful full moon.
With the turning of the year itself.

It feels like a quiet sign of alignment.
Not something to explain or analyze
but something to feel.

I notice myself arriving
into 2026 softer.
More open.
More magnetic.
Less rushed by the mind.

And at the same time, I feel how this transition hasn’t been light or smooth for everyone.

For some of us, the new year didn’t start with fireworks
but with shedding.
With shadow.
With the body asking to be listened to.

So if you’re still in that in-between…
still feeling raw, tender, or confronted
I want to remind you of this:

Take a breath.
Come back into your body.
Let yourself feel what wants to be felt
even when it’s uncomfortable.

Because often, the very thing we try to avoid
is the doorway to our freedom.

What feels heavy, frightening, or stuck
is not here to punish you
it’s here to expand you.

When we stop running…
when we soften, surrender, and allow…
something ancient inside us remembers who we are.

May this year be less about becoming
and more about returning.

With love,
Efia 🤍

Golden Nuggets of 2025

As this year comes to a close, I’ve been sitting with the golden nuggets that shaped me most in 2025.
the ones that landed in me deeply
and helped me
arrive more fully into myself.

There’s a groundedness I feel now.
An earthy depth.
As if, over this year,
I’ve landed more deeply
into my own body,
my own heart,
my own presence.

✨ One of the deepest nuggets came through my father who has passed.
As guidance.
A reminder that the greatest legacy we leave our children doesn’t live in the material.
It lives in doing our inner work.
In facing our shadows.
In meeting our triggers, patterns, and limiting beliefs
so they don’t get passed on unconsciously.
So we can navigate life, intimacy, and parenting with more awareness and presence.

✨ Another was the path of forgiveness
as an embodied process.
Seeing and owning all the roles we play:
the empath, the savior, the victim, the perpetrator.
Not judging them. Not bypassing them.
But accepting them fully.

I learned this:
Acceptance isn’t mental.
It’s embodied.
And the moment we truly accept,
we step out of victimhood.
Ownership sets us free.
From there, new choices become possible
real freedom.

✨ Then there was voice.
Giving voice to what we’re ashamed of.
To what we fear.
To what we feel in our body and nervous system.
To our limiting beliefs and to what excites us, moves us, inspires us.
Voice is not just expression.
Voice is manifestation.

✨ Finally: frequency.
Whenever fear appears,
the invitation is not to focus on the what,
but to return to the how.
The how is frequency.
And the frequency I choose to create from is love and beauty.
I’ve learned that when I create from this frequency
whatever emerges from it feels truthful.
Aligned.
Whole.

I’m sharing these reflections
as lived experiences that shaped me this year.
If any of this resonates,
or if it invites you to reflect on your golden nuggets of 2025,
feel free to share.

So we can support each other
as we step into a new year,
and continue this beautiful,
unfolding journey called life ✨🫶🏽

December 22

Today you are another year older
and I find myself in awe of who you are becoming.
Your taste in music.
Your humor.
Your way of reading people and situations.
The way you feel deeply, question honestly,
and meet the world in your own rhythm.

Guiding you is a privilege.
Learning from you is a gift.
And yes, sometimes we misunderstand each other.
Sometimes there is friction.
But I see those moments as invitations
for both of us to know ourselves better,
and to deepen a bond that remains steady, strong, and unconditional.

Happy birthday, my love.

Thank you for walking me home to wonder again and again✨💖
