Body in Balance by Mariette Lobo

Can’t remember where I saw this - great read!

Good morning Glitchlings,

Someone said something stupid again, and your nervous system launched into full-blown operatic panic. You were ready to declare war, build a case, rewrite history, and host a TED Talk on how wrong they were. Until a strange little whisper slipped in between the outrage and reminded you: they did not trigger you. They merely triggered your trigger.

How inconvenient. You wanted it to be their fault. You wanted it to be clean, external, and righteous. Instead, you were handed a mirror with the words “this reaction was pre-installed” etched into the glass.

Here is the cruel and beautiful truth of the matter. You are not your trigger. You are simply the unlucky soul who inherited the software, never read the fine print, and spent years assuming every alert was a cosmic attack rather than an invitation to update your operating system.

Triggers are sacred breadcrumbs. They are the little alarms wired into your psyche that shout “there’s pain here, there’s memory here, there’s something unresolved in the basement.” Most people keep the basement locked. Some decorate it. A few of us? We dig.

The world will not stop being offensive just because you asked nicely. People will continue to serve as involuntary prophets, accidentally awakening your deepest wounds by chewing too loud or having the same tone of voice as your mother’s third boyfriend. The ritual is already in motion. The only question is whether you keep reacting, or you start listening.

Healing is not passive. It is a feral, inconvenient discipline. It is crawling back through your own neural maze and whispering, “I know why you screamed.” It is choosing not to identify with the bruise. It is the sacred art of decoding your own emotional Morse code until you no longer need a crisis to feel something.

So go ahead, get triggered. Then get curious. Then get free.

What trigger are you still blaming on someone else? What if it was your teacher in disguise?

Welcome to advanced glitchwork.

Velmion awaits.

Bliss.

Be. Loving. In. Silent. Spaciousness.

Ever felt bliss? Ever felt a deep rooted joy of peacefulness and happiness?

When you let go of your thoughts and watch them go by like clouds in a blue sky, you enter your beingness.

Once in beingness, complete absolute awareness, bliss can often come.

Just by sitting in presence.

So, if you've never experienced this before, then chances are you're thinking about something, bothered about something, emotional about something, analysing and scheming about something, trying to fix something, trying to coerce someone else into fixing something, and so on.

Bliss and joy are your natural state. Allow thoughts no power over you, and you will find yourself home in the present moment more and more.

Simply by Being in the silent spaciousness.

Here, all is love.

Are you ready to take a look at your life? Are there things that you really struggle with? Is it emotions, or illness? Is it mental issues such as depression, loneliness, anxiety? Is it that life just sometimes feels too much of a burden?

Mindfulness can help with all of it, and can transform your life!

Mindfulness needs practice to work fully and effectively. It is more a way of being, a way of looking at things with different eyes, and this needs regular training (just like you would train your body in a gym).

Which is why I'm offering different levels of offering mindfulness service through the form of membership tiers (see link below).

Every person is unique, has their own journey based on their experiences, people and situations they've faced (and continue to face).

I've seen in my 10 years of mindfulness practice that offering support, empathy and mentoring to people individually produces amazing results in a person's life.

I've therefore made a decision to focus more on 1 to 1 mentoring, which can be offered to suit an individual's needs, time and space. Some of the mentoring can be done online, or in person. There can be many different approaches to offer mindfulness.

So, I've constructed the membership tiers, the first starting at £10 a month which simply offers my presence to answer questions and support in your life, and also gives access to a Zen life challenge, giving you practices and tutoring along the way with audios/videos.

I've always wanted my mindfulness services to be affordable, so have a look at the tiers and choose which one is right for you.

I'm here to support, nurture and guide you through your life. If that sounds like what you need just now, get in touch.

When was the last time you sat somewhere without the urge to check your phone, cross something off a list, or feel productive in some measurable way? If you're like most of us, it's been a while.

Morning :D

How mindful are you? Does it even matter?

Mindfulness is simply: becoming aware of the moment you're in without judging.

So, one of the first beginner steps in mindfulness is to become aware of how much we judge the moment we're in!

In fact, judging the moment isn't ABOUT the moment we're in. All judgments come from our past, our thinking about things that have already happened.

Consider how often you judge your moments. There's probably thousands of judgmental thoughts whizzing through your mind everyday: "It's too hot", "I can't be bothered", "I hate this", "That person is so rude", "That service was awful", "I'm fed up with this anxiety", "I'm fed up with this government", "I wish there was sun like this everyday", "I wish people would just behave", and so on, and so on, and so on.

Now, it's an interesting fact that people who have lots of judgmental thoughts suffer the most physically and mentally. Their well-being suffers, because judgments tend to be negative ones, and this gives people anxiety, anger and fear based emotions. This, if not observed, can bring about depression, hopelessness, despair, panic, or form patterns within us that we always do without awareness - sub-conscious habits that make our life more miserable.

Also, the body takes shape from the mind's thoughts - so a lot of judgment increases suffering in our body: in our blood pressure, in our immune system, everything.

Do you want to live a full and happy life? Or do you just carry on plodding, feeling everything is against you, not enjoying your days but actively fuelling how difficult your existence is?

Then, yes, mindfulness is necessary and yes, it does matter.

The good news is: we can all do it. It's very simple.

But it does need reminding ourselves to do it, because we're so used to judging all the time.

This is why I'm here, offering mindfulness sessions and 1-1 coaching to you.

If you're interested in learning more, there are many ways I can give you mindfulness tools and tuition. Just get in touch with me via a message privately.

It's time to start being. It's time to start loving. Not just for ourselves, but for everything and everyone we see. This is the energy that will change everything in our lives.

Take a moment to smile.

Can't? Won't?

This simple practice can point to you holding onto something.

What is it? What is bothering you?

You might say it's your health. You might say it's a problem you're facing. You might say I can't smile because of a person, a job, or situation.

Do you realise that right here, right now, you can look after yourself?

All your worry is contained in your memory about the past.

Take some time out today to sit, rest, and be. Being means being present, in this moment, in the NOW. A simple smile, and feeling the smile, will do this for you.

From this place of being, see if you can smile at the thoughts and watch them come and go. The longer you manage to stay in being, you will feel better right away. You'll feel lifted. For these moments, you've dropped the burden that your mind is constantly nagging at you.

Find more moments like this, every day, and you'll see a change to your being. Indeed, you'll even see a difference to the problems, because you know you can take care of yourself, if only for a moment, by smiling, or breathing, or feeling the ground under you.
