Lou's Labyrinth "Whatever purifies you is the right path." - Rumi

Plan forward but heal backwards. Progress outward but return inward.

Be a filter, not a sponge...

Let only what is worth keeping pass through you.

# Acceptance is non-resistance to reality...

If we can ACCEPT whatever event has happened to us... That it is impossible to make it not happen; and our only choice is to either accept it or resist it - and know there has to be a way through it...

This would be to accept the reality, that these things have happened, but to not let them cloud and poison our energy. Imagine our balloons being popped by the heaviness, negativity or toxicity of our thoughts and negative experiences... 🎈. No, no, no, we want to protect our balloons - we want to protect our visions & our dreams!

Sooooo... I recently had an Airbnb booking for a guest with a name which I am quite sure is a Universal message or just God's great sense of humour ❤️✨ ...

Guest name - 'Dipjoy' : my interpretation of his name/the message is to live our Joy - to identify when we dip our faith, dip our energy and our need to reach for a higher feeling of JOY, belief, faith & trust.

When we feed our faith we starve our doubt. Faith and fear/doubt all demand us to believe in something we cannot see...

It is for us to choose 🎈✨...

You must make the first move...

In order to shift illness, it requires that we make the first move. We believe that life begins when we heal but that is actually backwards. Illness is caused by a nervous system that learned it is not safe to be you.

Our nervous system’s primary function is to keep us safe and alive. From the beginning of our existence, it is scanning our environment and learning: what gets our needs met and ensures our survival; and what gets in the way and destroys our ability to get our needs met, and therefore threatens our survival... The nervous system remembers it all (the body keeps the score).

The nervous system creates neural networks that reinforce the behaviours that keep us safe. These behaviours become our autopilot and we act in this altered way. To us it may seem that is ‘just who we are’, but the mind and body are interpreting this as: the threat is still present, it’s still not safe to be you otherwise why would you still behave that way.

This ‘not safe’ chronic signalling changes how everything functions in the body. Overtime, eventually this altered functioning manifests as illness.

When illness arrives the actual message is: it’s no longer sustainable for you to not be yourself - not life is on pause til I feel better...

In order to heal, you must take action. You must make the first move.

Illness arrives to say: “This adapted behaviour no longer serves you. You came here to be you!"

Illness is guiding us back to the truth of who we are and why we are here. It is an initiator. It is for us to decide if we are going to listen and then act.

The body has faithfully carried whatever non-truth for us for years – whether it’s that we aren’t good enough, or too much, too emotional, bad, a failure, stupid, worthless, weak, etc. When illness shows up, it is saying the body can't carry this anymore and it's now your job to take over to uncover what is actually true for you, so that you can start to live from your divine story and not your wounded story.

Stillness offers clarity that noise cannot.

Your only, and ultimate responsibility is self-alignment.

In quiet moments, your inner compass recalibrates and realigns. Answers often surface when they are no longer being chased.

Home is an energy, not a place, fill it with calm, gratitude and softness.

God is in the details 💭

❓What are you noticing❔
What you consistently give your attention to becomes the energy you carry.

Choose focus over distraction, presence over noise, and notice how your reality slowly reshapes itself to match that choice.

❓How much good can one life contain❔
As much as you desire, as much as you seek...
..Stop trying to be "right for everyone." Choose one direction that feels true to you and stay rooted in it.

Japanese proverb: "Why are you so happy without any reason? Because I stopped needing one."

These two things exist at the same time...

"Today is the biggest my girls have ever been, and today is also the littlest they will ever be again."

Oh how this message spoke to my soul as I grapple with the nostalgia of wanting to hold onto my babies a little longer, interwoven with the excitement of them evolving into their adult-selves and their call for independence.

I am filled with gratitude for the gift of motherhood bestowed upon me 🙏💞, which reminds me of this important message.

"Your children are not your children. They are the sons and daughters of Life's longing for itself. They come through you but not from you, and though they are with you, yet they belong not to you. You may give them your love, but not your thoughts. For they have their own thoughts. You may house their bodies but not their souls, for their souls dwell in the house of tomorrow, which you cannot visit, not even in your dreams. You may strive to be like them, but seek not to make them like you. For life goes not backward, nor tarries with yesterday." - Khalil Gibran

From Russia with LOVE ❤️

I won't lie, AI freaks me out a bit or a lot actually... What to post, not to post; who to trust, not to trust 🫣🤯.

In a world where it is instinctively human to connect and unite, there is a DEFINITE feeling of division...

That said, I believe there are windows of hope. I picture like a stained glass window with the sun shining through...

A personal example of a window of hope is Airbnb. The platform is reputable and has integrity. It supports mutually beneficial relationships. The translate feature enables us to communicate clearly and comfortably. The App connects me with people all over the world; many guests who have become private guests and some our friends.

Even when I read my writing myself, it sounds like a marketing tool 🤦. But it is legit, it is that good!

I feel we need to be conscious and mindful of how we use Technology... I say "AI to our advantage!"

One of the beautiful things about human existence is how powerful we are when we come together.

🏡 Home from Home

Some are familiar but for those who aren't, I use to run a Playgroup 'Lou's Little Learners'. My objective was an opportunity for children to develop socially, intellectually, physically and emotionally in a home-from-home environment. The Playgroup integrated many years ago with Riverview Prep School; we have a couple more grades still to go up to high school from LLL's original establishment. I am so proud of all our kiddos and hold fond memories in my heart of our Lou's family.

The venture I have been enjoying quietly for many years now is Airbnb which showcases our home. I love making my guests feel welcome and at home.

I have re-defined my social media presence. 'Shakti-life' still embodies my values, beliefs and principles. It is, without much surprise, I now introduce you to 'Lou's Labyrinth'...

'A Labyrinth is not a maze, the way in is the way out. It is a metaphor for life's journey - a journey to the centre of your deepest self and back out into the world with a broadened understanding of who you are.'

What you can expect to see posted here, is much of what I have been posting: nature, plants, flowers, birds, insects, frogs (we still have lots of those), etc.; woodworking, painting, DIY, etc.'; my family, including NevDog; insights, learnings, quotes, life philosophies, etc.

Lou's Labyrinth will be pioneering the way forward from here on. I am very excited to share this journey with you!

🩵 People are portals...

Choose the ones that lead you to your heart's core and higher dimensions of love ❤️.

The older you get, the more you realize abundance was never about having more.

It was about noticing more. More love in the people around you. More beauty in the life you already have. More gratitude for the moments you used to rush through.

That's the kind of richness that never leaves 🤍.

Happy Anniversary Mum and Dad, thank you for raising Jamie and I with all your love 🙏🥰!

⚪ The mirror will never smile before you do

🔴 Reality doesn't change until you do.

🟠 Waiting for the world to shift before you make a move is like expecting the mirror to smile before you do.

🟡 Your outer world always reflects your inner world.

🔵 Life cannot be against you for you are life itself.

🟣 Life can only seem to go against the ego's projections, which are rarely in harmony with Truth. Mooji ॐ
