༄ 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.

Saturday we gathered again for the third edition of SOMA SOL.

What I felt this time was expansion.

More people.
More musical contributions.
More voices.
More energy moving through the room.

Expansion also brings change.

And change asks for presence.

This edition reminded me that the only way we truly grow is by staying open
open to new ideas, new insights, new ways of creating together.

Because openness is how things bloom
and evolve.

And the beautiful thing is that we can remain open while still staying true to our heart and the vision that guides us.

Thank you to everyone who brought their presence, their voice, their dance and their spirit into the space.

Curious to see what wants to bloom next. 🌞

With love,
Efia

I have a thousand ideas.

They don’t all need to become offerings.
They don’t all need to make money.
They don’t all need to be understood.

They simply have a right to exist.

The heart creates from joy.
From play.
From aliveness.

Expression is the point,
not outcome.

Some ideas become gatherings.
Some become art.
Some stay in a journal.
Some dissolve.

That doesn’t invalidate where they came from.

Nature doesn’t ask if we’re waiting for the tree.
It just grows.

So before you limit yourself…
Remember the source of your inspiration.

Let it move.
Let it speak.
Let it exist.

I am not my reactions.
I am not my wounds.
I am not my survival responses.

I am the awareness that can hold it all.

Ownership does not make me smaller.
It makes me stable.

And from stability ~ I shine.

The better I listen to myself,
the clearer my inner voice becomes.

And when I dare to express what is truly alive in me
something shifts.

My environment stops feeling like opposition.
It becomes an ally.

When I speak from what is real inside me,
others can hear me.
And strangely…
I can hear them better too.

Listening creates listening.

Expression creates safety.

This is what we practice at SOMA SOL.

Not performance.
Not perfection.
But honest presence.

March 7 we gather again.

Early bird tickets are available until 20:00 tonight.
If this resonates, you already feel why.

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
📍 Jali, Silves
