This affirms that making space for what brings you joy is not indulgent, it’s soul stewardship. In the shamanic tradition, tending your happiness is a sacred act that nourishes your vitality and strengthens your ability to serve others. Its significance lies in reclaiming joy as a rightful flame on your altar, reminding you that honoring what you love is part of your spiritual path.

May the monks walking for peace be held in prayer, surrounded by protection, vitality, and grace on every step of their journey.

May their inner stillness and quiet courage ripple outward into the world, reminding us all of what truly matters.

May their presence soften what has hardened, ease burdens long carried, and
gently renew the human heart in love.

With humility and gratitude, I offer thanks to these beautiful souls 🤍

May you and all beings be well, happy and at peace.

One of my teachers once said:
We are being prepared for these times.

Times when the ability to remain centered matters more than ever. Times that call us to become the eye of the hurricane…steady, rooted, and present; while everything continues to move around us.

The chaos will still happen.
The challenges, both internal and external will continue to arise.

The practice isn’t about controlling the storm.
It’s about finding your c e n t e r within it.

When you know how to return to yourself, again and again, you create an inner anchor that allows you to meet the world with clarity, compassion, and resilience.

Find your c e n t e r.
That is the work.

What is my center you may ask, your
c e n t e r is the place inside you that remains steady while everything else moves.

It is not thought.
It is not mood.
It is not something you achieve or perfect.

Your c e n t e r is the felt sense of being here. In your body, in the present moment, connected to your self. It’s where breath, awareness, and embodiment meet.

When you are in your c e n t e r, you may feel without being overwhelmed; you can respond instead of react; you are connected to yourself, even in uncertainty. Your c e n t e r is not something you achieve or hold perfectly. It is something you return to again and again.

In shamanic language, the c e n t e r is the axis. The place where earth, body, heart and spirit align. The eye of the hurricane. The still point within the turning world. You never lose your c e n t e r. You sometimes forget your path back and just need to practice returning.

With each return, you strengthen your relationship with yourself, so when stress, grief, chaos, or uncertainty arise, you’re not lost in them. You’re meeting them from a place of presence, trust and inner support.

Find your c e n t e r.
That is the work.

F e a r

It is said that before entering the sea
a river trembles with fear.

She looks back at the path she traveled,
from the peaks of the mountains,
the long winding road crossing forests and villages.

And in front of her,
she sees an ocean so vast,
that to enter
there seems nothing more than to disappear forever.

But there is no other way.
The river can not go back.

Nobody can go back.
To go back is impossible in existence.

The river needs to take the risk
of entering the ocean
because only then will fear disappear,
because that’s where the river will know
it’s not about disappearing into the ocean, but of becoming the ocean.

A reminder this season:
Joy doesn’t have one shape. Whether you’re gathering or going inward, may you treat your heart with compassion and let this moment be enough.

Warmest thoughts and best wishes for a wonderful holiday season.

Ho‘oponopono has a quiet, almost uncanny way of arriving exactly when the heart is ready to soften.

Often times through conversations, relationships or a moment that gently reveals what’s ready to be healed.

It doesn’t arrive as something to fix, but as an invitation to remember. To pause the inner dialogue. The story. To soften the heart. To take responsibility for what is moving within us.

I invite you to take a moment and repeat the following:

“I’m sorry.
Please forgive me.
Thank you.
I love you.”

Simple words. Ancient medicine. Always a good one to practice, especially when it finds you.
