Awaken in You

I’ve been spending as many afternoons as possible down at the beach, as a way to be more grounded and present.
Although my mind does still wander off I use all my senses to bring me back into the moment.

The smell of the ocean and the seaweed

listening to the crashing of the waves and the seagulls squawking as they do

looking out at the ocean or the horizon and often the angel- like clouds that look down at me from above (and today the dolphins even came to say hello) 🙏🙏🥰🥰

feeling the sand beneath my bare feet.

We tend to get caught up in the day to day grind and forget to take time out for ourselves. This little treat for myself takes 30 minutes, not a lot of time, but the benefits are immeasurable.

And I kinda deserve it 🥰

Have a wonderful evening beautiful souls As always, with love, peace and happiness 💖

Every one of us has the ability within ourselves to heal. We just need to take the first step, whatever that looks like 🤔🙏🥰

When it comes to healing or letting go of old beliefs or thought patterns, I would suggest that you start to pay attention to your thoughts and the things that you say either to yourself, or out loud, to see how much you revert to lack, anger, resentment, fear, or any of the other lower emotions. When you catch yourself saying or thinking things, become inquisitive and ask yourself where those thoughts are coming from. Don’t judge yourself for them, become curious. Most of these beliefs would have started back when you were young so see if you can take yourself back to how old you were when you first remembered feeling that way. When the age of that little child comes to you, embrace them in your mind’s eye and send them lots and lots of love..Tell them that he/she is the most precious little child ever and that they are now safe. This is the beginning of inner child work.

It is also important to ask yourself what / when / how questions.

What is this pain / situation trying to show me?
When did I first feel / remember this?
How can I help myself to heal / let go?
What do I need to let go of to move forward?
What beliefs or emotions are keeping me stuck?

Sit with the question and allow the answers to come to you. try not to over think it and allow whatever comes into your mind to flow in.

Let me know if this resonates with you, or if you want to know more about how this type of inquisitive exploration can help navigate through this amazing journey we call life. As always, with lots of love, peace and happiness 💖

There are so many books that I come across and I think “Oh wow this is such a good book” and can think of a few people I’d like to suggest it to. This one…..OMG…. I want to shout it out from the rooftops 😁 I’m listening to it on Audible, cause he actually narrates it himself so you get the full feeling of how he embraces and remembers the moments. It’s just WOW!!!

I’m being drawn to butterflies lately, and number 5s. Both signify change, something that can cause a bit of panic to some people, but I seem to have made it an art over the last however many years😂.
In the past though, whenever things have started to move in a different direction I’ve tried to control the outcome, thinking that if I did this or that then things would work out on my terms and the way that I “thought” I wanted them to be. These days, there’s just this sense of calmness and acceptance that whatever is coming is for my highest good and perfectly planned by something far greater than little ole me could ever imagine. The last few weeks, the sense of calm is greater than it’s ever been, which is very strange considering where my life normally sits at this time of the year. There is change in the air and, as much as I can sense it, now more than ever I feel the desire to let go completely of everything and trust in the perfect unfolding of whatever is meant to be 🙏🙌😇

When we are hurting we often blame other people or situations for the pain that we are experiencing.

But what if we looked at it as “what has this person or situation brought up in me that needs to be healed?”
We then move from disempowered to empowered. By adopting more of a curious mindset, we can grow and be more the creator of our lives, rather than a victim of circumstance.

Just a thought 🤔💖

Love this…. There’s always tomorrow 😂😂💖💖

Thank you Abraham for the reminder 🥰🙏😊

We would like you to reach the place where you’re not willing to listen to people criticize one another… where you take no satisfaction from somebody being wrong… where it matters to you so much that you feel good, that you are only willing to think positive things about people…you are only willing to look for positive aspects; you are only willing to look for solutions, and you are not willing to beat the drum of all of the problems of the world
Our Love,
Esther

It’s time # # #

Just a reminder to all you beautiful people out there ❤️🥰

Just like that 🙏❤️🥰

I spoke to a friend of mine the other day about falling in love, but when I looked at love that I have experienced in the past, there wasn’t an immediate rush to jump back onto that bandwagon. Not because the relationships were wrong, because they have all helped to enrich my life in so many different ways, but because of the conditions that people put on each other to make them ‘happy.’

“You do this or be like this for me and I’ll do this and be like this for you.”

In the beginning of relationships we don’t seem to put too many constraints in place because we’re all on our best behaviour and in the ‘love bubble,’ but eventually we let the niceties slip, the baggage that we have brought into the relationship starts to unpack itself and the power struggle commences.

I know I bang on a lot about healing ourselves and how important it is to do, not just for ourselves but for everyone else in our lives. When we heal our wounds, we stop laying conditions on other people (and other experiences) to help us feel better / safe / free / happy etc. We are then free to allow people into our lives without expectations. After all, it’s our expectations that cause our suffering, not other people. This also leads us to let go of attachment to others which is so incredibly huge…

I’ve started to look at all of the interactions that trigger me now and, when I get triggered by something, rather than play the blame game, I take the focus away from the other person, I’m acknowledging how I’m actually feeling and then dig deeper into what the trigger is trying to show me. This has taken quite a while to understand and is sometimes just a great big ego mind-f___k, that has me transgressing back to old patterns. When that’s all over though (after getting my mind out of the game) it’s such a sense of achievement when the answer shows itself to me and another awareness about me and my life becomes apparent - which leads to more healing ❤️

Each day is an opportunity to ‘uncover you’ and with a lot of patience, curiosity, understanding and love, you’ll create a very safe and loving place that will allow this to unfold.

Have a beautiful evening.
With love, peace and happiness 💖

Over the past few days I have been bombarded by the importance of forgiveness.

Everything I’m reading, watching, seeing and speaking about to people is all centred around the ability to forgive.

Like everyone, I’ve been hurt and I have caused hurt to others. I’ve carried the burden of anger, hatred, sadness and disappointment toward myself and others and have struggled to really understand and let go of the hurt.

The first step to forgiving others is to learn to forgive yourself. This can be harder than forgiving others to be honest, but vital in the healing process.

The second is to understand that people don’t intentionally want to hurt others. They just don’t. And you don’t want to intentionally hurt others either. Our actions come from a place of fear, an unconscious belief of a need to protect ourselves. Their treatment of you has nothing to do with you. It has everything to do with them. Just the same as your treatment of them has nothing to do with them either. It’s all stuff you are holding onto.

As that understanding has become apparent to me, it has made the act of forgiveness much easier for me. Forgiveness for myself, over the past three years since I have started the incredible journey into ‘Me’, and the forgiveness of others who I have perceived as ‘hurting’ me.

It’s pure freedom and feels amazing 🙏💖

I have my very own Hanlon and I absolutely LOVE it. I must say that when this beautiful lady makes it there will be a little bit of a ‘Proud Mum Moment.’ It will be wonderful to see where her passion takes her.
🥰🎉💖

He’s a very funny fellow that Buddha isn’t he? 😂 or very wise 😉🤔

Oh how timely is this…? ❤️💖😘🥰🙏🌈

I have a friend who is a very talented artist. On top of that, she writes the most beautiful posts, that always go hand in hand with the artwork that she produces for her social media sites. I had a text conversation with her that, of course became a phone conversation, after she expressed the following: “All the things I make and do are with love and don’t make money.” Hence the phone call to try to get my head around exactly what she was saying 😊

This is a very old narrative and one that, sadly, looks very real for so many people.

We need a “real job” so we can earn “real money” so we can own “real things” But what if that “real job” makes us absolutely miserable? What if, instead of suffering in silence (or often not silence cause we complain about it to anyone who will listen 😊) we can follow our passion, do the things that make our heart sing and live with purpose?

When we have joy in our hearts, we attract more joy. We have more gratitude, so attract more things to be grateful for. When we live our purpose, we naturally inspire ourselves to be greater which, in turn, inspires others around us to be greater.

If you are one of these people, please stop procrastinating. Even if you just dabble for a bit whilst you find your feet, at least that’s a start. One day that burning passion will take over and you will be compelled to follow your purpose. Once you do this, The Universe will conspire to provide you with more than you could ever imagine, and success will be all but given # # #

With love, peace and happiness 💖

I’ve seen this quote quite a few times but today it has sunk in and is so relatable.
Sometimes The Universe puts you in a familiar situation, not to test you, but for you to see how much you have grown. So, once again thank you Universe 🙏
Simply loving this journey and the, now ability, to just let go and surrender to whatever is meant to be 🥰❤️💖

How interesting is this and how very real?
I suppose that by hating, the problem is always outside of us, separated from us. When we let go of the hate then we actually have to feel the pain, that means connecting with ourselves. Something so many of us fear. Very interesting 🤔🥹🙏

Happy June 1. What a beautiful way to start a new month 🥰❤️🎉

I had someone call me broken a long time ago and was deeply offended by the off-handed remark from someone who didn’t even know me. I saw it as an insult, responded in a very unladylike way, and never spoke to that person again. Years later I actually found myself “broken” and it has been the most profound experience of my life. I am so very grateful for all of the experiences that lead me to that breaking point which was actually a breakthrough from where I sit now.

When you’re there, as low as you can possibly find yourself, there’s only one way to go. There is no definition to what you can do and who you can be. Embraced with the right passion, it’s pure freedom and I love it.

This post I found today wraps it all up as the beautiful gift that life sometimes presents itself to us. What we do with it is all up to us 🙏❤️💖

I’m loving this right now.

One of my go to sayings to my clients is “Be nice to you.” And like any normal person, what I say to others is not necessarily what I practice myself. I find myself shaking my head in disbelief when I’m back in my head overthinking things or repeating old patterns that I have spent so much time working to overcome.

The patterns we have, have taken us years and years to develop and to think that we can heal completely in a few weeks or a few months is crazy. If you are making the effort to confront your demons then please make the effort to be kind and loving to yourself along the way. You will find yourself taking a few steps forward and a few steps back and that’s ok. Love yourself for each forward step, and love yourself even more when you find yourself repeating old patterns. You deserve your love, support and encouragement along the way no matter where you find yourself.

Have an amazing evening.
With love, peace and happiness 💖

This is, and has been forever, one of my favourite stories. It’s a perfect analogy showing an outcome when we choose to be either the victim in our story or take responsibility for our lives and write the story the way we want it to be written.
Love it 🙏😊💖

When you look deeply into the eyes of another person you look deeply into their soul and that’s where you see the truth, who they actually are. It’s not something we regularly do because it is so intimate and it can make people feel very vulnerable however the connection is so absolutely amazing. Maybe have a try and see what comes of it. You never know, you may see yourself in the soul of another 😘💖
