The beauty of that scene lies in the charm of the shadow of the trees and the sunlight INTERTWINED TOGETHER..

It's not "Light" and "Darkness".. It's the collective of all that creates the "Wholeness"..

There are two theologies that we can choose to perceive others, ourselves and life with: Theology of Separation, and Theology of Wholeness.

Theology of Separation creates conflicts..
In that distance that separation creates, the ego sneaks in, because who doesn't wanna identify with the "light" and fight the "darkness"!
In that process, we reject our "darkness" which is an innate part of who we are.. and what you reject, persists, and silently, subconsciously, dominates..
In separation, we live in an everlasting inner conflict.

Theology of Wholeness creates acceptance.. an energetic hug..
In that inclusion that wholeness fosters, the heart expands and leads from a state of peace.
In that process, we accept and embrace all our parts with no labels and judgements, and can consequently use our inner power to lead our actions towards fulfillment..
In wholeness, we maintain a state of inner peace.

If you find yourself always questioning in frustration why life is so "unfair", try to look with eyes of wholeness and observe the masterpiece that polarity creates.. you might see a totally different view.. and you might finally meet God..

Because maybe the light is not at the end of the tunnel?
Maybe the tunnel is not necessarily dark?
Maybe?
Maybe..

Control vs Power.

Control is fake. It's a false sense of security our minds create in a desperate need to feel safe being on top of things.
Control drives anxiety, because it's an illusion that we keep chasing and never actually reach.
It can only be sought externally, hence, never really attained, because nothing lies outside of ourselves.
Control is underlain by a feeling of scarcity. Anything that goes out of proportion can easily swipe that fake control away.

Power, on the other hand, is authentic. It's internal, it's attainable, and it doesn't try to stop the flow of life's path, but rather helps embrace it with utmost humility to the divinity in it.
Power calms anxiety, because it boosts one's ability to surrender and to trust.
Power is underlain by abundance. You don't need things to be in a certain way, because in your power, you can deeply trust that no matter how things go, your abundant inner power will manage to dance in the moment with them and navigate the chaos.

In control, we barely survive..
In power, we can feel alive..

Control is the voice of the Ego..
Power is the voice of the Soul..

How to hold space for someone reaching out to you?

1) When someone is stuck, they are already struggling with shame or guilt. They either feel they aren't good enough, they don't have enough, or they don't do enough to break free from their stuckness (whatever it is). The last thing they need is someone to stress even more on this baggage of shame or guilt. If they choose to reach out to you, they probably aren't able to contain these feelings, let alone have them highlighted and intensified by you!

2) If someone reaches out to you, they probably already know the s**t they have their feet in, but they are so overwhelmed by that s**t to the extent they don't see their powers. Hold them high when they hold themselves low. That is NOT reminding them of how much they failed your expectations of their potential, but rather helping them accept where they are, because their real pain is probably because of how much they resent the image they have about themselves in that place. Remind them of how enough they are, not how much they lack. Do not cause them vulnerability hangover. Do not let them regret reaching out. If someone gives you the privilege and honor of seeing their true colors, hold that sacred, because it is sacred.

2) Rarely does someone change because they should, no matter how much you highlight that to them.. no matter how much you scold, you push, or you shame them.
People change only when they are ready, and when it's time for them. These are things you cannot rush.

3) Quoting Brene Brown: "One of the things we make when we face difficult conversations is we try to make things better. If I share something with you that's very difficult, I'd rather you say, "I don't even know what to say right now, I am just glad that you told me", because the truth is rarely can a reaponse make something better. What makes something better is connection."

4) Finally, understand the difference between empathy and sympathy..Please do not sympathize thinking that you empathize.. Learn more here 👇🏼 :

The agenda of your soul always works for you. When you start adopting that concept, a paradigm shift happens! Your perspective of almost everything transforms to a more trusting one!

Each and every kick in the ass life gives you is actually just life's way of making you hit bottom so you start moving from that place that no longer serves your higher self!

What I'm trying to say is that a lot is out of our circle of control, but who said control is all we need?! In fact, that desire to control comes straight from our ego!

The only form of control that works with life is controlling how we perceive it!

Does that mean we practice false positivity and suppress our emotions when hardships hit? Definitely NO! Every emotions is valid; however, we can still feel afraid yet trusting, sad yet trusting, confused yet trusting!
See? No contradictions here..!!

Bottomline: Feel whatever.. Just be flexible with your thoughts, and dare to unlearn and relearn. Things are not necessarily how you see them! 🙏🏼

Every feeling is valid.. every feeling is okay!

"People shouldn’t have to appear always, you know, stable and content, because people aren’t always stable and content. And it makes it harder, and it makes us as a majority more unstable and more discontented because we don’t have the freedom to express all of these darker sides of our emotions. Because we’re supposed to keep everything very, you know, friendly and polite and appropriate all the time. And I think that every emotion is appropriate whenever it arises." —Fiona Apple

May we never forget that no matter how much growth and wisdom we experience, we will always be first timers at some other experiences.. we will always stumble while taking baby steps towards something new.. and that is ok.. mistakes are ok as long as we admit them, apologize and learn our lessons..

May we, at times of stumbling and failure, find a spot for self empathy.. just like we do with a toddler learning how to walk.

Amen!

I have never encountered a little kid struggling with uncertainty.

Why?
I guess it's because when we come to life, and before the limitedness of the mind takes over, we - by default - trust.
Our inner wisdom , despite not being consciously aware of it, knows we are held. Our simple, not-yet-fully-programmed minds allow us to wander knowing that our caretakers will be there for us, and they have things in shape.

But we eventually grow up, and our ego demands some sense of control.. we abandon our natural instict of trust, and we give in gradually to tons of limiting beliefs about how things can go wrong and how fu**ed up we can get.

So, Children of life..
Children of love..
Children of God..

This is an invitation for the inner child within each of your hearts (myself included).. an invitation to silence the limitedness of the mind, and to trust.... and to remember... that our inner wisdom, even if we are still not consciously aware of it, knows we are held.

Let's wander the unknown, only knowing that our caretaker will be there for us, and they have things in shape.

Life.. Love.. God.. or whatever you call it, is telling you today:

Little child, I got your back. ❤

*Stop wrestling with God*

Your soul and heart are divine... there is nothing that you feel is wrong.. all feelings are valid.. all of you is valid..
Drop that weight you're carrying.. let it fall off your shoulders..
If vulnerability is your liberation, be vulnerable.. and be ok with it..
If surrender is your liberation, surrender.. and be ok with it..
If daring to do something is your liberation, dare.. and be ok with it..
If allowing a "negative" emotion to take over, let it take over.. and be ok with it..
If confessing something is your liberation, confess.. and be ok with it..
If letting go is your liberation, let go.. and be ok with it..

The world is taking away every single thing you can use to hide and distract yourself... you are left with NOTHING but yourself to see the truth and deal with it..

We are physically quarantined, but there has never been a better chance for us to liberate our souls..

Stop wrestling with yourself..
Stop wrestling with your feelings..
Stop wrestling with God..

Dear beloved Oneself,

"Maybe you're feeling ashamed of yourself that you're not braver, that you're not more steady, that's you're not a badass, that you're not good enough, that you're not making the right decisions, that you can't seem to put your spiritual practices in play here.

If all that is the case of your feelings, that mixture of fear and shame, then I invite you to gently let yourself off the hook, at least for the shame.
Fear is a difficult enough emotion to handle, but fear + shame can escalate swiftly into a real mental health emergency.

So why don't we drop that knife that you're holding to your neck about not handling this correctly? And let's see if you can find some mercy for yourself, about the very natural emotions that you're feeling.

If you're having any feelings of shame today about how afraid you might be, then once again:

I am right here, and I am not going anywhere. You can be as shaky as you need to feel.

And, I want you to know that I don't need anything form you.
I don't need you to be brave, I don't need you to be a grown up, a transcendent, a badass.. I don't need anything.
I don't even need you to feel better if that's not possible for you right now. I'd never ask you to do something that you can't do.
I don't need you to banish your fears before my eyes, or magically just chill.

I just love you, and I'm gonna stay here by your side no matter what may come.
Whatever it is, I will face it with you. We will face it together.

You're not alone. You've got me, and there is nothing you could do, or not do, that could ever question my love to you.

I LOVE YOU

I SEE YOU

I KNOW YOU

I AM YOU."

With love,
Yo.

Since we will be having plenty of time to stay home, reflect and go inwards, I am thinking of holding online discussion circles via Zoom or any other platform (for free of course) where we can contemplate together on what's happening (spiritually) around the glope.. I am seeing major shifts and I would love to discuss that with fellow human beings on the path of enlightenment.

Fear is all over the place, but we don't have to conform to this panic consciousness. Together, we can shift towards more wisdom, learning and growth. We can help each other vibrate higher.

If I did this, who'd be in?

My clients always come with coaching topics that mirror areas of my life that I am usually unable to see/tackle on my own, and while using different coaching tools helps them visit different perspectives of matters, lightbulb moments occur to me as well.

People keep asking me if studying coaching is worth the huge financial investment, and whether practicing coaching is financially rewarding.
My answer is: I think my clients and I benefit from coaching equally.
Coaching gave me what money could never bring, and I can't think of anything I've ever invested in that was more rewarding than becoming a coach. It's just a matter of seeing what the reward is.

For me, no reward is more precious than consciousness, awareness, growth and learning to sail the boat through the journey. Nothing connects me to the wisdom of life as powerfully as coaching does.

What is Faith?
This 👇🏼👌🏼

When you get to the end of all the light you know and it's time to step into the darkness of the unknown, faith is knowing that one of two things shall happen: either you will be given something solid to stand on, or you will be taught how to fly.
