“Who are we when we believe that nothing is wrong?”

This theme of -allowing- has been ever present in life and in sessions lately..

If we can get curious with the utmost compassion—even in the most challenging of situations—there is always something we can learn about ourselves or about life.

This philosophy, value, belief system, however you want to phrase it… is especially potent (and important) when it comes to how we perceive ourselves.

Without realizing it, so many of us are constantly condemning ourselves and feeling shame for our thoughts, feelings and behaviours that are.. well, human!

This compassionate reframe- viewing ourselves and each other with curiosity, gentleness and love.. is the greatest gift we can give ourselves and the world.

Because when love, curiosity and compassion are present.. fear is less likely to control us.

We start to see fear as it is… more often than not- it’s a mindset or perception, not actually based in reality (FEAR = false evidence appearing real).

Fear = separation.

Love = connection.

And we get to choose our perception.

Self-righteousness: PART II

Compassion and understanding are gateways to connection. When we can transcend judgement and transmute it into curiosity, we find our way back to loving presence. And I believe, it is through this loving presence that change is not only possible, but inevitable. 🙏🏼🌹✨

Although perfectionism is a survival adaptation, there are times my perfectionism has served me.

The beauty in the evenness of the spaces in between intentionally spaced objects, the colour coordination of an outfit or, the tastefully placed words that makes a regular sentence sound like poetry.

Though, I’d like to rewrite this definition… perhaps into something more meaningful.

Where perfectionism turns into devotion; when it’s no longer about being good enough.. but about creating beauty for the sake of the soul.

Even when it’s hard.
Even when it’s messy.
Even when it hurts.

It’s in the quiet remembering of who we are underneath the layers of conditioning and outdated beliefs…

In all of our imperfect glory. 🥀

When I say the world needs us to rise, what I mean is rise into our most connected and authentic selves.

So many of us stay small, quiet and tame out of fear.

We’ve been taught to fear taking up space or ‘rocking the boat’.

Constantly conforming ourselves to appease others is not only exhausting, it’s quite literally making us sick.

We are full spectrum beings with a vast depth and ability to feel.

The darkness exists within us all and everything that’s less pleasant about life is what makes it so damn beautiful.

& it’s not until you start to allow yourself to feel that you truly realize that.

There is a whole world out there (and within) waiting for us to connect with it.

& I promise you it’s more beautiful than you could have ever imagined.

✨ OCD & Self-Care // When Self-Care Becomes a Compulsion ✨

The illusion of control can feel like safety- but it often keeps us stuck.

OCD is a survival strategy for when the nervous system and body don’t feel safe.

The mind latches onto something to be a certain way, which makes us feel like we have control. Control can help us feel like we are safe.

The shadow to this: control is an illusion. When something unexpected happens, that illusion shatters, and the body goes back to feeling unsafe.

So the mind latches on harder to a sense of control… Which leads to obsessiveness and compulsivity.

Leading to this vicious cycle of:

Lack of safety = latching onto control = illusion shatters = more fear = more control.. etc.

You get the picture.

I’ve had the tendency to latch onto specific self-care routines… Which have helped my mind think it was keeping me healthy… When really that rigidity of routine actually kept my mind overriding my body, leading to my body feeling even more unsafe… Because sometimes I’d push my body to do something it didn’t have the capacity for, as to not break my routine.

This has led to a lack of trust between my mind and body… My body not trusting that my mind will listen when it says no.

My practice has been to honour my mind’s desire for routine, while also honouring my body’s capacity.

Sometimes this looks like my mind spiralling around not going for the walk, doing the yoga, etc. And so my work is to soothe my mind by reminding my body we are safe via words of affirmation & nervous system practices.

Some narrative reframes I am finding helpful:

~ Ritual > Routine
~ Rhythm > Rigidity
~ Moving from compulsory self-discipline to devotional self-attunement
~ Making my practices more intentional & attuned to my needs VS another thing to check off my to-do list

Like, comment or share with me (or someone else) if you can relate or found this helpful! 🙏🏼

🌎 Did you know that Earth omits frequencies that are biologically healing to our cells? 🌎

So much so that many years ago NASA created something called a ‘PEMF mat’ designed to help astronaut’s bodies adjust to being back on Earth. 🚀

Being away from the Earth’s magnetic field can weaken the body— affecting bones, muscles, and cells. PEMF mats gently send electromagnetic pulses through the body, mimicking Earth’s natural frequencies. This helps reactivate and support cellular processes, improve circulation, and speed up healing. (These mats are now considered medical devices.) 🌟

Unfortunately, our modern world (rubber soled shoes & concrete) prevent us from absorbing these magnificent frequencies. 🌇

We used to spend a lot more time on (and with) the Earth, and as we’ve evolved- we spend a lot less time. 🌾

One of the most powerful regulating practices I do is create the time and space to sit, lay or walk barefoot on the Earth. 🙇🏻‍♀️

In addition to what I mentioned above, this is shown to:

- Reduce inflammation
- Improve sleep & pain
- Boost your energy
- Improve circulation & immune function
- Reduce stress & anxiety
- Improve mood & enhance mental clarity
&
- Regulate our nervous system!

Another simple yet powerful regulating practice to add to your tool belt! 🌱
