How I use meditation as a medicine:
▫️
I learned and experienced different types of meditations, some from the world of NLP which sometimes are called hypnosis because you speak to the subconscious during them and it stimulate similar but different brain waves.
▫️
In my life I use it as medicine for different causes.
▫️
For example, I moved to a very noisy city recently for a temporary period. At first my senses were bombarded by the environment noise. Just before I moved here I was accustomed to nature and silent environment of a farm.
With meditation I could come to a stage where I focus my brain to receive the sounds of birds (there are plenty in the city) and I could experience the cars and other disrupting noises as far away in the background. My brain learned this ability and started doing it even when I’m not in meditation. In my every day experience.
This is the power of meditation, it teaches the brain to react differently at all time.
▫️
Another example is that I learn through meditation to be grounded, centred and aligned. This reaction is becoming available at any time or situation. I am automatically inclined to stop and react after relaxation. After grounding. It could be a matter of seconds.
During meditation this habit is being built and comes to be useful.
▫️
I also use it as a communication skill, communicating with higher self, with the source, with guiding spirit. I use it for being in the moment and experiencing the perfection of every moment.
▫️
Meditation can be adjusted to your needs.
You can create new thoughts, you can create new feelings. you can manifest, you can empower and uplift, you can raise your level of consciousness, you can embed new believes, new stories, you can organize, you can divide background noises to be far or close, you control you brain cells at the moments of meditation. You create new neuropathways, you create more grey matter. Meditation is already a proved science.
▫️
It is a powerful tool to remind you that you are the creator, you are in control. While you are also listening to your soul whispers and to divine guidance.

I am talking a lot about relationships, I see them all around me, I see people suffer and putting themselves in strained relationships only for the reason of lack in self-confidence/esteem.
I am also seeing beautiful relationships of people who are evolving and growing together.
▫️
The first ones I mentioned, are putting themselves in strained relationships because both sides are not working on their personal growth. They are blind to the fact that they are the ones who steering their lives. It is so easy to get caught up in a relationship and to lose a sense of self. The couple become one organism. Until… after time it breaks, cause they could not hold themselves in this organism. They did not give enough space for personal growth and the relationship falls apart.
▫️
I am witnessing this from outside. I am not in a relationship and haven’t been in one for long periods of time in my life. I do have experience in relationships, but often I choose not to be in one.
▫️
And why is that?
Because I truly believe that working on personal development means more than everything else in life. For me, personal development and self-growth comes first to everything else, yes, even romantic relationships.
My priority ladder doesn’t have “romantic relationship” at the top of it. It is somewhere in the bottom after more important things.
And this is totally personal decision. I am not here to preach others, I am sharing my perception and my priorities.
▫️
I believe that at some point in my journey I will feel that it is time to change or shift priorities. I believe that during my journey some things will go higher in the ladder and some will go bottom as they already served me. Constantly growing and evolving I see my priorities change.
▫️
The fact that I am single is a deliberate decision, and a lot of times I encounter people who don’t get it. Don’t understand why am I choosing to stay single when there are possibilities for relationship everywhere and when it seems like “the right thing to do”.
For me it is a choice that keeps me content and happy. It is a choice that gives me freedom to keep exploring. It is a choice that comes from consciousness.
▫️
We all get to decide how our lives should BE. We all have this sovereignty and strength to lead our lives to our own best interest.
▫️
I am passionate about teaching that 😍

I don’t know if you heard it already in your sphere but the notion is: when you love yourself first – you are able to have healthy loving relationships with others.
▫️
That is so true. A lot of people are going into relationships from a place of lack. Lack of love or believing in themselves. They expect their partner to be the one who fix that for them. Or they believe that when they are in a relationship, it is enough to raise their own self-love.
▫️
But it is the opposite way round for a reason. You need to truly love yourself and trust yourself in order to have a meaningful relationship with another. 🥰

That way you are not dependent. That way you can completely rely on you to steer the wheel of your life no matter who is next to you. That way you are not broken into shuttered pieces if the other person is taking away their love.
That way you are safe and sound ALWAYS, in your own body, in your own experience, in your own bubbling life.
You do not outsource your needs, you fill them, You make things happen. You are creating.
▫️
You cannot always be in control of life and what happens to you But you totally can choose your reaction.

Isn’t it a better way to approach relationships? Totally independent and secure in yourself?
Isn’t it contributing also to your partner? That you don’t put all the weight on them for your happiness?
▫️
Isn’t it freeing? For both of you.
🤩😍

I know all there is about low self-confidence, I have experienced it for the majority of my life.
▫️
Being shy/ timid/ kept to myself, playing small, afraid to hurt people (because I was hurt easily), not showing up fully and authentically, afraid of rejection, afraid of being misunderstood, afraid of being mocked or laughed upon. All these fears that have played out in my life, have shown me how this is not only damaging me but everyone around me.
▫️
Relationships with family, friends, colleagues, every significant other person in my life were tremendously affected by my lack of self-confidence.
▫️
If you always show up in this world as not wanting to hurt or step on others toes, you are dismissing huge parts of your life, interactions and actions. Being shy/timid doesn’t hurt only you – it hurt others as well. By playing small you don’t bring yourself fully and others cannot enjoy what you have to give (your skills, gifts, attributes).
When you’re playing a game of “not hurting” others you extinguish the fire that is so needed in your life and others. You are not taking responsibility for your own emotions, you are taking responsibility for others, teaching them they are victims and you are a predator.
Which is actually the exact opposite of how you really feel. Because when you are shy/timid you feel incompetent, not worthy and less than others.
▫️
When we talk about narcissists for example or people who are defined by psychology literature as harming others, we need to understand that they as well are operating from a place of low confidence. They are not loving and trusting themselves at all, and the way it plays out hurt so many others. It is the other edge on the scale.
▫️
▫️
I believe only when people take responsibility for their own healing, when they want and do everything they can to evolve – that will be the medicine to every relationship between humans in this world 🙏🌎

Another example of how low self-esteem/confidence (2 different but correlate things) hurt your life.
▫️
Many people are entering romantic relationships because they are afraid or don’t know how to be alone. Because they believe this is the way of living and they have to adhere. Because they are broken from inside and looking for others to support them. Because they do not love themselves enough – they need external validation.
▫️
All these reasons to enter a relationship are causing so much damage. To them and their partners.
▫️
When you don’t rely on yourself first, when you don’t love yourself first, Your relationship will be co-dependent in the worse possible way.
▫️
The relationship will not be on the foundation of truth, it will be on a foundation of masking.
The relationship will be toxic to everyone involved.
When you outsource your self-love, self-esteem; the moment the relationship is finished – you are left with nothing. You did not built or created it to yourself, it was manipulated in a relationship and now over. You are crushed and have to start build yourself from the beginning.
Sometimes it may look like jumping to another relationship. And the cycle continues.
This time the cycle will hurt another human being (your new partner).
▫️
▫️
Bringing you true self in a relationship, working on yourself constantly to improve your own s**t, is the best foundation.

The more I delve into the course I created, helping people raise self-confidence and self-esteem, I find that this issue is like a plague, and it ruins everyone involved.
▫️
I am talking about the disease of low self-confidence & low self-esteem. These are 2 separate but much interconnected.
And why do I refer to it as a disease? Because people, when suffer from these 2, are hurting not only themselves, but their whole surrounding.
▫️
I’ll give you a simple example to what I mean:
Let’s say you suffer from fears/insecurities/doubts about a relationship, your feelings in it and everything around.
You cannot bring yourself to communicate your authentic feelings. Why? Because you are afraid of how you will be perceived. Because you run 3000 outcomes and scenarios in your head to what you have to say, and (not) funnily they are all grim. Because your fear of being judged or rejected or misunderstood is paralyzing you.
So you leave things as they are, and slowly there is a shift, to the worse. Nothing has been communicated, emotions have risen to monstrous size, and negative outcomes start to arise without you having control over it.
You lost it.
Only because you didn’t communicate from authentic, vulnerable place. Only because you were too afraid to show yourself, your truth.
▫️
▫️
Low self-esteem is hurting you and your relationships.
▫️
You are hurting other people and the circles around you when you don’t show up authentically. When you wear a mask. When you try to fit in, but distortedly. There is no congruence, no alignment and no integrity in your life thanks to your low self-esteem.
It doesn’t only affect you, it has ripple effect to people in your life. At the end of it, everyone suffer.
