Happy International Day of Yoga 🕉️ I stopped doing yoga and instead I try to live, breathe, and embody yoga everyday in my thoughts, speech, and actions. It’s the filter on how I view myself, others, and the world. It’s the vibration underneath how I care and love others. It’s imbibed in my core values and beliefs. It’s woven into the fabric of my divine being. Even when I’m not teaching, yoga philosophy is expressed and emitted through me. The teachings are timeless, spaceless, boundless; they are eternal and transformational. I am the expression of who I am now in this life because I discovered yoga and because I choose a spiritual path. The practice starts on the mat and continues off in your daily interactions and through your very humanness. Next week I’m returning to Vipassana, this time at Montebello in Quebec. It’s been 3.5 years since my last meditation course and retreat and the call to return was too strong to ignore. I dedicate my practice to the benefit and liberation of all living beings 🙏

I have this ritual at the end of most years to allow one word to arise from the depths of my soul’s experience in that chapter of time. Oftentimes this follows journaling and meditating on my word for the year. It can take me days to settle on just one word since either a dearth of words or plethora emerges but after a few years of this practice, I find there is pleasure in this process and patiently waiting. My words for the last few years were ACCEPTANCE, EMBRACE, and RADIANCE and the ink of these words has continued their imprints on my living experience.

The word that shimmered to the surface of my consciousness for 2023 is INDEPENDENCE. While I encountered some resistance to this word at first, I can sense that she’s the right one to capture my vibration for 2023. Last year was my second year living abroad and it was a full chapter of solo travels and experiences. I’m in a happy, healthy, stable couple and still I was able to tread independently along my own path towards the places and moments that were calling me. Independence is one of my core values and practices and it’s become even more important to me with age, maturity, and moving away from Australia. As an adult who had struggled earlier in life with the ills of insecure attachment, codependency, and perfectionism but who also craved freedom, it’s fitting that in my mid-30s, independence has grown up from the roots of my soul and the chapters of my 20s.

I’m grateful to 2023 for reminding me of the importance of autonomy, self-reliance, and freedom to the life I am boldly writing into existence this time around. I’m grateful for a year to practice and embody the state and experience of independence alongside connectivity with people, community, and home. Of course, I traversed challenges and low moments in this last year too (like breaking my arm) but they were temporary (like everything) and this theme of independence had me skipping into 2024 via the route of a wholesome solo week at Woodford Folk Festival in Queensland. I can’t wait to discover what word and theme will emerge for me in this next year.

What’s your word for 2023?

04/08/2023

You do not need to try so hard.
There is no profit in pulling, pushing, or performing.
Your presence is enough.
You, as you are,
perfectly imperfect.
Your warmth and wonder;
your weirdness and wildness;
your wit and wisdom;
those scarred fragments of you that you worry are unloveable;
all of it is welcome here.
There is space for the totality of you.
So do not try to be liked
and do not crave for attention nor affection.
Stop waiting and chasing after people, states, and stuff.
Your presence is enough.
You, as you are.

I journaled this 4 years ago; to my fellow empaths, I see you 😘

Too often I forget, or ignore, that I am an empath; that I feel deeply and intensely and open my soul up to others willingly and freely. This week I’ve had two friends remind of this fact sharing their observations of my natural ability as it shapes my identity and colours the interactions I have with others. I forget I have a way of sensing and tuning into the inner workings of other beings; of observing their light and disregarding or diminishing their shadows. A wise friend and fellow empath told me: “We see the light of the soul within but so often that’s not their truth in human form”. I need to remember this truth and take notice of the whisper of my inner knowing telling me to pay attention, be careful, and protect my self. I have a unusual way of listening, being truly present, asking, and enabling others to reveal the intimate recesses of their minds. In early conversations with people new to me, I’m regularly told that they wouldn’t usually open up like this or share such intimate details of their selves and lives; we can be talking about music and travel and in the next breath sharing our insecurities and fears and the reverberations of our inner child. Being an empath is a rare gift; one which I am still learning about, trying to pay attention to, and hoping to accept as part of me. But like most gifts, to me being an empath also entails feeling pain and suffering (others as well as my own), feeling misunderstood and struggling to connect, feeling exhausted, and preoccupied with other’s thoughts and feelings. While this week has certainly brought with it beauty, it has also bestowed the challenges of having a heart as big and generous as mine; the tender reminder that with an open heart sometimes there will be disappointment and hurt. This is not a reason to close the doors to our hearts but to first honour its exquisiteness and take time before offering love to others to hold. The lessons I have reflected on and consolidated this week and the mantra that has carried me the past few days are the same words I offer to you now:

You are worthy of deep connection, care and love 🙏

I humbly welcome you into a wild patch of the secret garden of my heart and mind. I trust you’ll go softly as you peruse my musings and images from my world.

imaginable and unimaginable.
RADIANCE
One year dancing in and out
of embodied luminescence.
Golden days painted in an impressive palette of yellows.
2022: The year that moved me closer into my innate radiance.

May 2023 be the year that you return to your eternal radiance 🙏
