The Breathing Space

25/10/2025

Every emotion you feel is energy moving through you — intelligence in motion. It is not here to harm you; it is here to guide you. When you feel sadness, it is life asking for your gentleness. When you feel fear, it is your system calling for safety. When you feel anger, it is your life-force asking to be honoured.

You do not need to resist or analyse your feelings — only to listen. Each sensation is your energy communicating, reminding you that you are alive, that you are connected, that you are becoming.

Healing begins not through effort, but through permission. The moment you allow yourself to feel without judgment, the energy starts to move again. It’s like ice melting into water — flow returning where it was once frozen.

Your body hears everything you think, everything you speak. It responds to kindness and awareness. When you speak gently to yourself, you realign your entire vibration. Whisper softly:
“I am listening.”
“I am safe to feel.”
“I am returning to balance.”

As you breathe, imagine light filling your chest — not from outside, but from within. This is your natural radiance, awakening. It knows how to heal, how to harmonise, how to bring you back to peace.

Remember: nothing is wrong with you. Nothing is broken. You are in the process of remembering who you really are — pure, intelligent energy in constant communication with love itself.

Breathe into that truth. Feel it. Let it soften you.
Everything is moving toward harmony.

We often live as if time is infinite.
We run, stack, procrastinate...

But there comes a moment — sometimes silent, sometimes sudden — in which we understand a deeper truth:
“Our main goal is not to live forever, but to create something that will. ”

These words reflect the spirit of Elisabeth Kübler-Ross, who reminded us that life is not measured by its length, but by its depth: by how much we love, by how we touch the lives of others, and by how we choose to grow even in the midst of pain.
Every act of love, every comforting word, every moment of true presence leaves a mark.

And in those footprints, we continue to exist beyond time.
What are you creating today that can live tomorrow, even when you're no longer here?.

Legacy is not about being remembered by many, it's about having been truly present. To have lived with an open heart.

I’ve been a little quieter here recently, not because I’ve stepped away, but because I’ve been stepping inward.

Life moves fast. Change arrives unannounced. And sometimes, the only way to meet that pace is to pause. To recalibrate. To let the noise fall away so you can hear the truth beneath it all.

These last weeks, I chose to step out of the constant push and sit with myself. To peel back the layers that had quietly gathered. To remember who I am, what I’m made of, and how I want to move forward.

Reflection asks for courage. The courage to face the patterns you’ve lived, the choices you’ve made, and the whispers of what’s calling next. The courage to nourish yourself in new ways, not only through food, but through movement, through rituals of rest, through the breath that softens the edges of your day.

Every small choice becomes a message to your body and soul:
I honour you. I see you. I am coming home to you.

Silence isn’t always absence it’s where transformation begins.

Have you ever wanted to trust yourself…
but felt like you just couldn’t?

Like no matter how much advice you read, or how many intuitive nudges you try to follow, there’s always a part of you that second-guesses, spins, or freezes?

Here’s the truth we rarely speak:
Sometimes we don’t struggle with clarity.

We struggle with self-trust...
Because we’ve spent too long abandoning ourselves.
We say yes when we mean no.
We look to others for permission.
We silence the small, wise voice inside because somewhere along the way, we learned it wasn’t safe to listen.

And when that happens enough times…
Our inner compass doesn’t just go quiet. It stops working altogether.
Not because we lack intuition but because we no longer feel safe inside ourselves.

But here's the beautiful part:
Self-trust can be rebuilt.
Not through pressure or perfection.
But through presence. Through reverence. Through a thousand quiet moments of choosing to stay with yourself instead of abandoning your truth.

If this resonates, you're not too far gone.
Every gentle yes to yourself is a stitch in the thread of trust.

I’ve written a new blog about this very process: rebuilding inner safety after years of self-abandonment. You can read it here: https://carolric681.substack.com/p/when-you-dont-trust-yourself-anymore

Reclaiming Inner Safety After Self-Abandonment

25/07/2025

What if it’s not only about Letting Go… but also Letting In?

We spend so much of our healing journey focused on letting go.
Letting go of pain.
Letting go of stories.
Letting go of control.

But in all our releasing…
Have we forgotten how to let in?
Let in nourishment.
Let in support.
Let in the things we deeply desire, the ones we think we must “earn.”

I know I had.
For a long time I sat in nothingness.

It slowly came back to me..
True healing lives in the finely tuned balance of release and receive.
Like the tide, like the breath, it’s a natural rhythm not something to force or chase.

As we allow what no longer serves to move through us,
We make space for what does.
No pushing.
No proving.

By standing in the energy of readiness.
Ready to believe.
Ready to receive.
Ready to let life meet you, where you are.

What if your next chapter isn’t about doing more…
But simply being available for all that’s trying to arrive?

The hidden cost of betraying your own boundaries

Notice how hard it is to speak up when you’ve spent a lifetime staying quiet?

Sometimes the deepest boundary wounds don’t come from others.
They come from the places we abandon ourselves.
The yes we didn’t mean.
The silence we held too long.
The resentment we swallowed to keep the peace.

What happens to our emotional wellbeing when we don’t honour our own boundaries?

The longer we override our truth,
the more we lose access to our clarity… our confidence… and our calm
Every time we abandon ourselves to say yes, we chip away at trust, not with others, with ourselves.
Over time, this self-abandonment becomes a pattern:
We feel resentful but don’t speak up
We stay silent when something doesn’t feel right
We become anxious or over-responsible for others’ emotions

This tension doesn’t just sit in our minds it lives in our body.
And left unchecked, it can lead to long-term emotional exhaustion, burnout, and disconnection from our own intuition.

If we spend too long living without boundaries, something eventually snaps.
We go from people-pleasing to pushing people away.
Because when you’ve been chronically disrespected, especially by yourself the only way to feel safe again can seem like shutting everything out.
But this isn’t healing. It’s reaction.

And to heal means coming back to centre to the place where you can hold yourself with both firmness and compassion.

Compassionate boundaries don’t start with scripts or strategies.
They start with truth.
With a quiet knowing:
I am worthy of space.
I am safe to say no.
I can trust myself to protect my peace always.

We teach the world how to treat us by how we treat ourselves.

Have you ever felt like the more you try to find clarity… the less clear everything becomes?

It’s a strange thing how lost we can feel in the middle of a life that looks “fine.”
The schedules. The routines. The roles we hold.

And yet… inside, something feels foggy. Directionless. Off.
If that’s where you are, I want you to know:
You haven’t lost your inner compass

You may have just stopped hearing it beneath all the noise.
This week, I wrote a piece about how to reconnect with that deeper, quieter part of yourself, the one that always knows.

No big breakthroughs.
Just rituals that restore clarity.
And tiny yeses that lead you back to wholeness.

Stay curious...

There is incredible power in the simple act of asking a question. When you open yourself to curiosity, you allow energy to move. You stop trying to control the outcome—and in doing so, you create space for healing, insight, and possibility. Answers can often fix us in place. But questions? They open us. They help us feel our way forward, beyond fear, beyond the known.

Curiosity is not just about the mind—it’s energetic. It shifts your frequency. It keeps your spirit awake. When you stay curious, you remain connected—to your intuition, to others, to the life force that’s always guiding you. Every time you ask with openness, you invite the universe to respond. This is how change happens. This is how healing begins.

Trust in your questions. Let them lead you. The more curious you become, the more aligned you feel—and from that alignment, anything is possible. Even the things you once thought were out of reach.
