Smiling Soul Creations

Wow 🥳💙✨️🙏 3.5k have registered for the 5 Day Make Your Soul Smile Challenge.

Don't miss out on this incredible opportunity 👇👇

Dear friends,

Could this be what you been waiting for?

Tell me, when you think about the word “retreat”, what does it conjure up for you?

An idyllic setting?

Blissful moments of connection with like-minded souls?

Personal breakthroughs that move you to tears because you know, deep within you, that your life will never be the same again?

Maybe attending the retreat of your dreams is something that has always been on your wishlist but has never quite manifested for you? An elusive experience that others get to be blessed with, but that always seems to pass you by, even though your heart and soul are yearning for it?

Imagine having time and space away from the commitments, obligations and distractions, to reconnect with yourSelf on a profound level and rediscover all the magic and potential that already lies within you?

Could you give yourself permission to set yourself free to have fun, to fall in love with yourself and with life, to start anew, and truly understand what it means to experience joy in the depths of your soul?

How would it feel to connect with your tribe at a deep, heart-level where it feels like you’ve found your soul family?

This is what awaits you at each of our Smiling Soul Retreats.

“Sure, Brett, attending a retreat at one of your exotic locations sounds incredible, but it’s out of my reach”, you might say.

We hear this from so many beautiful souls, and because we’re all about sharing the love, we are bringing the same magical and powerful experience of our India and Bali retreats to you, over 3 days in South Africa!

Our next Smiling Soul SA Retreats are coming up very soon:

Cape Town 2 - 4 Feb 2024

Pilanesberg 16 - 18 Feb 2024

That's just around the corner!

You can book your spot at either of these Retreats 👇👇👇

Or, if you’d like to chat about how we can make one of these SA Retreats happen for you, reply to this post and DM me, and we will be in touch.

These will be our ONLY Smiling Soul Retreats in South Africa in 2024, so this is your chance to be immersed in the same world-class and life-changing experience that you would at our Bali or India retreats - just more accessible to you.

The investment into your greatest self and the experience of a lifetime, right on your doorstep, is R14950, all-inclusive. We also have payment plans available.

So no more sitting on the sidelines, wishing you could attend the retreat that speaks to your soul and changes your life forever.

It CAN be you. This is your chance to receive what the universe is offering you.

Life is too short for regrets. Don't miss out on this one, beautiful soul.

"You don’t get what you want. You get who you are being.”

This is one of the most important things that I share with my coaching clients, and much of our work together centres around consciously creating who they are being - instead of focusing on goals, achievements or things in the outside world they want to change.

Everything is inside you: If what is happening in the world is not the way you want it, at least what is happening within you must be the way you want it - don't you feel?

It is from this space that you can create and manifest your wildest dreams! I truly believe, as I share with all my clients, that abundance is your Birthright.

There truly are miracles all around us if our hearts are open to looking for them.

And it is this beautiful seeing, this ability to harness your inner million, that is some of what I will be sharing on our upcoming 5-Day Make Your Soul Smile Challenge together - in just 3 day's time!

So much love,
Brett ❤️🙏

I want to share something for you to consider as we enter the final few days before the 5 Days Challenge kick off.

Uncertainty is the nature of experience.
We can’t even choose our next thought. Did you know that you were even going to think that thought a second before the thought? Until you come to terms with the uncertainty of life, you will just cling and resist. Be open to however this life will unfold. One of my teachers in India always used to say, "Argue with reality, welcome to hell."

When you accept the isness of what is you are free.

Ease the grip of control. Don’t be so interested in what happens. Your fears and concerns are robbing you of your energy.

Notice how light you feel when you let go of being so interested in what you are scared of or what might happen to you. Let go of how it might all unfold. It removes 1000s of mental impressions, 1000s of thoughts.

You spend so much time trying to change your negative thoughts to positive thoughts. You will never know what's coming. The one who resists this uncertainty or the one that looks at uncertainty as a negative word lives in bo***ge to the uncertainty.

This will make you more unconscious, living in the illusion of thought based on your future worries or projections. You get stuck in the thickness of this moment, when truthfully this moment right now is thin, when there is no thought.

The one who eases off or embraces the uncertainty starts to experience and embodies the freedom that comes with it. And ultimately sees that there is nothing to be afraid of.

The wisdom of uncertainty. This wisdom is not a mental intelligence. It's the intelligence of the universe, the intelligence of your intelligence.

Thin the clouds away and have more faith. When you realise that all things change, there is nothing you will try to hold onto.

Let go let god, trust in the same universal intelligence that bought you into this world.

My wish is that my sharing above creates a little bit of peace and hope for you right in this moment

Say "YES" if it helped a little and of course feel free to comment. I love all your feedback.

Wishing you all a beautiful, peaceful day!

Take this opportunity now - join me for the time of our lives! 👇👇👇

Have you ever considered the possibility that a life lived in balance is the foundation for your success?

That playing in the extremes is actually detrimental to any kind of achievement - monetary or otherwise?

What if I told you that in order to bring balance to your life, you need to first bring balance to your thoughts?

Balance in thought means that your thoughts do not control you, they do not run your life. This is only possible when you discover the sweet solitude of the space that lies between each thought.

Bliss.
The first commendable action you can take is to bring more awareness and therefore balance to your thoughts.

A mind that is calm, resilient and cantered can be of greater service to your aligned divine destiny in this lifetime.

Silence is god’s loudest voice. The space between the notes makes the music. The space between thought is what makes your soul smile.

This is just a taste of what I have planned for you in this Challenge. And we are just 5 DAYS AWAY from the pre-challenge on Sunday the 21st January 2024!

Take this opportunity now - those of you that are called to join now 👇👇👇

The Smiling Soul Retreat will bring you back to your true nature – love. 💓💓💓

My final weekend in BALI before I head off to South Africa, to host our BIG opening since lock down.

Its back our Smiling Soul Retreats in November in Cape Town and Pilansberg.

I want to share something that came up for me yesterday whilst I meditated on my creations, sending blessings to my friends, loved ones and business associates.

Consider this..

Crossing the river from the outside world to the inside world, is where and how you discover your greatness.

Live your dream in your heart and let the universe move everything to bring your dream to you. Feel your dream, feel the presence of the universe inside you, KNOW that the universe is with you, guiding you, and then allow the Universe to realize your dream. Create that feeling everyday and change your thinking to create your abundant life.

You are all unique and beautiful, you and your dreams are so worth it, dont let anyone ever tell you otherwise.

Join our SA Smiling Soul Retreats Priority Booking List to make sure you get in on what will be, without a doubt, the highlight and turning point for your 2020 on love-steroids:

What could be the most liberating decision you could make?

And do you choose to do it?

Brett Shuttleworth

Sometimes I just look up.

Smile and say, I know it was you GOD.

Thank you ❤️🙏

Brett Shuttleworth

I don’t think you need to know what love is.

Be Love.

How to be love?
You cannot do it. It is already present in you.

It is all that you are and more.
You are more and It is more.

You can’t teach the sea to create waves. A waterfall is not trying to be beautiful, it just is. Its just another ordinary miracle today and so are you!!

No regrets and no anticipation, just this moment fresh as it is, dancing with all the other miracles around you.....

Brett Shuttleworth

You are Enough

Liberate yourself and let the love of your life fall into your lap.

What is hurt nudging us towards?

Why is hurt experienced in every single human?

Surely there is a divine purpose hurt plays out in all our lives?

Yes, it always has showed up in my life, it happened to me 4 years ago.

The beautiful lesson is so clear and I wish to share it with you today.

"Brett if you looking for a relationship you’re in trouble,” I remind myself daily.

In my humble opinion, rather fall in love with yourself first and soon you will feel a warm sense of eternal divine love open up in you.

Your urgent desire to find the right partner will somehow fade.

The irony is that when we enact the deepest kindness towards ourselves first, our relationships naturally flourish.

When we maintain healthy boundaries, self-acceptance, and embed gratitude into our hearts, we draw in connections that mirror our inner love.

Often after a breakup we spend a great deal of time shaming, blaming or degrading ourselves - we create an atmosphere of isolation.

This form of ‘poor me’ keeps us from not only receiving our own love, but from receiving the love that we are offered from others.

When we hold the belief that we are somehow broken, not only in relationships but in our life as well, we will continue to attract experiences that mirror that belief system.

It is our responsibility to practice self-acceptance as often as possible.

When you catch your mind being ruthless towards yourself, slow down, and take a deep breath. In that moment thank yourself for something simple, something natural, even the awareness you had to catch yourself to bring you back out of the ego mind.

Create an energy of gratitude towards yourself.

Keep love notes close by, hold memories and experiences of warmth and appreciation near your heart.

Remind yourself that you are perfectly lovable just as you are right now.

With time and consistency your view of yourself will shift, and along with it so will your relationships expand. Your vibration and heart will then dance together and your perfect relationship will appear.

Your heart is sensitive, nurture it with kindness and it will soften - opening like a flower under the sun.

Brett Shuttleworth

In my humble opinion 'Self' enquiry is the only importance to life. The only worthy accomplishment in life is self realisation. If you don't realise self you have wasted a life.
Thank you for the article in your latest edition.
Questions and answers by Brett Shuttleworth.
Why do some people wake up and some dont?
Your seeking must be continuous. When your desire is only for God. You will attain self realisation.
You teach people how to set up their day and lives for success, which you call building a structure of happiness. A holy hour of gratitude and visual meditation. Why?
Then your lessons in the world are finished. You are filled evermore with the joy of the infinite. Remember it is not what you hear that redeems you, but what you do with what you hear.
I don't want people to think that they can attain self realisation simply by listening to others or by reading books.
They must practise what they read and hear. Many hear what they should do, but few act upon it.
You tell people to make there life a response to the LOVE that we already have received. They should do it with all their your heart and soul?
Dont paralyse your determination. When you know a thing is right. When you realise self as devine infinite love. Why shouldn't you go after it. Why shouldn't you want to be an extention of gratitude and service that gave you your last heart beat or breath.
Remember as long as you are making the effort. God will never let you down.

Embrace the feelings
What you Resist, Persists

Allow the feeling, allow the healing.

Let the idea of who you think you are or of what should be happening fade away gently.

The more you embrace a flexible, open mindset and let go of rigid beliefs and perspectives, the more you will find freedom, love, happiness and peace.

Never take yourself or your beliefs too seriously. You are way more beautiful than that!

You can spend your whole life fighting to swim against the currents of life. Or? You can let go and flow effortlessly along, riding the power of the river.

A simple example of how many of us fight against the current, is when we choose to bury, ignore or mask our painful and unpleasant feelings.

All feelings – good or bad – are part of the tapestry that make up this beautiful life we live every day. To deny or resist any part of it would be to deny the full experience that life has to offer.

And what you resist, persists!

Instead, choose to bless and embrace the pain, jealousy, anger, or whatever be the unpleasant feeling.

Rather ask: Why am I having this experience or feeling? What is it telling me about my beliefs?

Soon you will discover that the feeling is actually serving you to move toward a more aligned path. Toward a higher-frequency version of you.

Healing is what happens when you allow the experience and feelings just to be what it really is: A sacred teaching.

Wishing you all a beautiful day of letting go my friends!

Brett Shuttleworth

Happy Friday all you beautiful souls ❤️😇

If you could choose one option before you die. Would you rather want to;

1) Make $1 Billion dollars, or

2) Impact 1 Billion lives

(°and you couldn't use the money to impact anyone.)

What would you choose and why?

Brett Shuttleworth

Be Happy For No Reason.

We all have that something special in our lives – a material possession, a hobby, or a person – that lights up our hearts and brings joy to our world without fail.

It’s the experience I use to have when I am reunited with my custom-built ‘Jap’ motorbike each time I travel to Bali when I host our Retreats there.

When I hit the Island shores, I get to pull off the storage cover of my bike & take my bad-boy for a spin. I often road-trip around the Island with our Retreat group, tailing the bus by a short distance.

In this place there is just me, the open air and the sound of a motor. It’s pure freedom – I get to unwind, & find balance before my next teaching to the group.

These kinds of things are important in life. It's essential that you create a masterpiece that includes experiences, things & people that make your soul soul.

BUT as good as it is on my bike, I remind myself of the day I truly found happiness.
It was 10 years ago when I was homeless. I had nothing, & yet I discovered EVERYTHING.

Happiness is the goal of all goals. Happiness is a state of consciousness. Know that beyond the mind, there is a place where this happiness bubbles & overflows with nothing else needed from the external world around us.

Happiness as a fix, as a short-term gratification or escape from a place of sadness, that is seeked from outside of yourself, will be taken away from you as quickly as it arose.

What most don’t realize is that you can in fact evoke a state of happiness from within.

Here’s a quick trick to demonstrate how this can be done: close your eyes for a minute or two.

Think back to that thing, experience or person that lights up your life. Immerse yourself in that feeling. All the emotion of it. Bathe yourself in that joy.

Now let the object of the feeling be released from your thoughts (the thing, hobby or person), & hold on to just the experience of the state you are in. Now open your eyes.

Feel any different?

When your life is an expression of inner happiness, you are connected to the infinite intelligence of the universe & miracles happen. It’s an experience you can choose to create, in any day, in any moment.

What does a sunset sound like?

The time will never be perfect.

Act now!!

There will never be a right time.

Today brings you the gift of a short, but powerful message to take into your week.

If you make a prediction based on your current situation, you are completely discounting your inner potential to transform the situation.
Consider this: if you are waiting for the perfect conditions to make your move, it may never come.

What if it is true that you can still be in action of expressing yourself, detached from what the mind is saying or what your body is feeling?

The profit on the other side of fear is limitless.
This is your life, own it. Do what you truly want to do and say what you truly want to say.

There will never be a ‘right time’. Be the energy of what you want to attract, and then act. Your heart is the light of this world, let it shine.

If not now, then when?

What if it is true that LOVE is a miracle?
and if so, then what voice is stopping us from plunging into LOVE?

Dont let self Doubt sabotage your life.

When I was a little boy, I always told my mom my big plans. The funny thing is they would be different every week, depending on what movie or program I saw on TV. She used to laugh with amusement and always told me I lived in a dream world.

I actually liked it when she said that, no offence was taken.

This is what I want to share with you today:

Dont let self doubt sabotage your imagination. Dont get stuck in the thickness of past failures.

Let your imagination fantasise, no matter what is happening in your life right now. Everyday is a new day for the awakened one.

Most of us were raised to become ordinary.

Extraordinary is something very very different, its about recognising within yourself very very extraordinary, that you haven't been trained to believe in.

If you would like to accomplish something you must first expect it of yourself & my question to you is what do you expect of yourself?

What is now proven was only Imagined. Now think about the importance of that!

(Below: Mom and I 40 years ago ~ I am still in a dream world 😇)
