Whenever I feel joyful and happy, when everything's going alright and I feel light and flowy; then itโs pretty easy to do my Shakti self practice. I easily tap into that feminine frequency in which I move my body, take care of myself in a loving way, connect with my pleasure and make myself feel like the total goddess that I am. You might recognize this: Shakti energy is more accessible when weโre in our good space than when we're in a darker space. If we donโt feel fine, if weโre not really feeling happy with ourselves, if thereโs pain or emotional hurt triggered, itโs easier to hide, to freeze, to make ourselves small and to ๐ฏ๐ฐ๐ต ๐ด๐ฉ๐ฐ๐ธ ๐ถ๐ฑ. But such moments are also part of our life, and I think it is exactly then, when itโs difficult, that we need our practice more than ever: to experience the pain and hurt as something that can potentially be ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐
๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐.
Why Iโm really doing everything I can to prioritise a regular practice (showing up for myself in my practice at least 3 or 4 times a week), is because I am actively re-programming myself to always find inner ground(ing), no matter what is going on in my life. To find playfulness and the potential within to dance with the situation, no matter how difficult the situation is, no matter how counterintuitive it may feel at that moment. When I bring myself to my mat in these moments of feeling low, these are the most transformative practices! Sometimes itโs really only that Iโm lying in childโs pose breathing into my pelvis for ten minutes. But what happens is that this way I connect to my yoni, and whatever hurt or pain comes up: I let it be there! No pushing it away. I find a softening within myself, and somehow I even find compassion for myself, some self-love - which was exactly what had been missing in those moments that lead up to confronting myself on the mat.

Through it I learn to support myself much better in the moments I feel low/down/isolated/lonely. To ground again in the here and now. And then Shakti energy is never far away, sheโs so close! Letโs invite her in, exactly through the hurt and the pain and the realness of what we are.
