Deepening

 

Steadfast I stand in existence
With certainty I walk my life path
Love I hold in the core of my being
Hope I place in all my doing
Wisdom I put in all my thinking
Peace leads me to my goal
Peace maintains my existence

Rudolf Steiner

I am basking in incredible Christ Light during this season of light, feeling tender, supported and grateful for all that unfolded this year. This is the year I experienced immense ease and sweetness.

I recently completed Module One of Diploma in Psychosophy. There are several more modules. Psychosophy is an anthropological perspective to psychology. Rudolf Steiner’s approach to psychology offers an understanding of body, soul and spirit interactions that are missing in Freud and Jung.

How wonderful it is to feel supported and watched over by the Divine. I had been looking to study psychology. Nothing made my heart skip and unwaveringly say “Yes!” I knew to pause and trust the stars to direct my onward journey. Something will land if it is meant to be. This big course literally fell into my lap. Thank you the angels who conspired to make it happen. I recognised the nearly inaudible whispers of guidance and could only oblige. Always, we receive exactly what we need for our evolution. Psychosophy perfectly complements and deepens my other work as an Inner Child Integration therapist, as a human who is committed to living her highest consciousness.

Since I was a little child, I dreamt to make a difference. I had an affinity with unseen worlds and was naturally drawn to energy medicine. I come from a lineage of healers. My geomancer who read all my elements and numbers jokingly told me, “You don’t have to study spirituality, you were born spiritual.”

Still, I travelled near and far to study with teachers whose way of being still shape the person I am today. But it was in the last few years, studying and living in the teachings of Rudolf Steiner [as a teacher of little children in a Waldorf school], that I felt I understood true nourishment and healing. I understood the nuances of our four bodies – physical, etheric, astral and ego – and what it means to be radiantly alive.

Truly, we are multi-dimensional beings. We contain multitudes. Steiner’s seemingly esoteric teachings really help us to find uprightness and a grounded centre in reality. This pedagogy is profoundly curative. It is medicine the world needs. To see, understand and support children spiritually, energetically, emotionally and physically now becomes the healing work I am called to do. This is a shift in my own perception on how healing can happen. Healing does not only happen on a therapist chair, bed or yoga mat. Every human can be a beacon.

I feel blessed and honoured to have a choice, to serve in a way that brings deep sense of fulfilment. There is also an overarching belief that I am not just practicing for me. I am practicing for all sentient beings. I did not plan on using my gifts and tools in this manner. Life beautifully unfolds for the sincere who are faithful to the journey.

I am looking forward to the Year of 9 in 2025 and I hope you are, too. May 2025 bring more loving and learning.

Connect here for one-to-one session with my therapeutic tools. I consider my inner child work my most important work for profound paradigm shifts. It is a multi-dimensional, multi-faceted cognitive process that lends deep insights into people and situations. Self-knowledge will set you free.

One day or day one


The wishes of the soul are springing,
The deeds of the will are thriving,
The fruits of the life are maturing.
I feel my destiny,
My destiny finds me.
I feel my goals in life,
My goals in life are finding me.
My soul and the great World are one.
Life grows more radiant about me,
Life grows more arduous for me,
Life grows more abundant within me.
~ Rudolf Steiner

Hello World. It has been more than two years since I wrote here. I was away from this world wide web, deepening, quieting and tending to myself as life threw a deep curveball in my way.

In the years that flew by, I discovered I could hold both grief and joy, bitter and sweet, disappointment and delight. I could simultaneously traverse losses and gains, trials and triumphs, exertion and relaxation. With understanding and practice, I can choose to rest peacefully in duality. Because life is neither black nor white. It is a whole lot of gray. 

My go-to medicine are deep breaths, yoga, music, and stillness.

I discovered the art of deep rest so I can stay fully awake. I learned to play a musical instrument as I endeavor to fine-tune my inner instrument. I root deeper to rise higher.

I am held. We are held. Beyond measure. Beyond time and space. So much has changed, yet many things appear to remain the same. There is beauty in impermanence. Thank God for impermanence!

Going through an international certification in Rudolf Steiner Early Childhood Education is aligned with the life I choose: Conscious, impactful, soulful. My work with little children in a Waldorf school artfully and beautifully integrates all my tools and practices, gifts and talents. I feel completely in my element. Who and how I am on the yoga mat and in the classroom is coherent with who and how I am off the yoga mat and outside the classroom.

Life is strange and ironic. I did not plan. Or rather I could not plan. Faith is trusting Creator has a plan and we can only surrender. If change is the only constant, how can we invite more ease and peace into the process? Resilience is a practice, just like everything is a practice. How you do anything is how you do everything. How you move on the yoga mat will show you how you move off the yoga mat.

In the grand scheme of things, we are a mere speck of stardust in the cosmos. Yet every star aspires to radiate its brightest light. Isn’t it its right to shine? The questions are: How we are committing to living a life of consciousness. How we are showing up. How we can raise our frequency to match the vibration of the work Creator wants us to do.

We live in potent times. How fortuitous we are alive in this new Golden Age. How do we cultivate courage, strength and resilience to fulfill our destiny in the best possible ways? This practice begins in the early years.  You know what? I don’t have any magic to gift. I hold the children – and everyone – in a way they discover their own magic. You own your magic. The power is all yours.

If you are open to it, I like to work with you, one on one, to live your most radiant life. Together we deep dive with my tools and practices as a therapist of Inner Child Integration, yoga and energy medicine. This is a heartfelt invitation. Planet Earth is a much better place when we connect and thrive. Please reach out here.

Every moment is an opportunity to begin again, to exhale the old and inhale the new. Is this moment today, or will it begin one day?

The space in between

I like to take my students through their breath before we tune in with Adi mantra, to the teacher before, with and within us.

We inhale trust, exhale fear. We inhale flow, exhale letting go of holding on. We exhale layers and layers of what does not serve us. We lengthen and lighten, root deeper and deeper.

The space in between, the yogis name it kumbhaka, is that precious pause between inhalation and exhalation.

It is the space of becoming. Everything that is yet to be. It is the space I inhabit at this very moment.

It is pregnant with possibilities, yet full of nothingness.

In the very present moment, I am witnessing the ebbing and flowing of my breath above my lips, observing the unfolding, and patterns and rhythms of months gone by.

The older I get, the more I value slow, conscious living. You know, pause, breathe deeply, and soften and ground. And taking time. Lots of time to connect to my inner stillness. As the months pass, the more I see the virtue in having the courage to leave behind safety and denial, to follow what lights me up, to love what I love.

This Super Full Moon in Libra and the beginning of an astrological year in Aries, both at zero degrees signifying a major reset, I ponder everything I let go off. I bow deeply to the many deaths that brought me to the fertile ground I am standing today. The seeds I have been planting are beginning to sprout.

The younger me thought being fiercely independent, resilient and strong willed was strength. As I am inching my way to 50, I realize strength is rooting more and more into myself, that I live deep and true, to the wind with certainties and niceties.

With this strength, I can begin again and again. I am alive. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.

Happy Super Full Moon and Spring Equinox!

The gift of breath

Humee hum tumee toom wahe guru

I am thine in mine myself wahe guru

Teaching this meditation in a Kundalini Yoga class last week, as part of an introspective yearend set, I too was stricken by how my yoga practice has connected me to my own infinity.

Because the practice of yoga is less about asana and more about what transpires outside the mat, how you show up for the practice is a reflection of how you show up for life.

Are you moving through breathlessly and relentlessly? Are you taking a few moments to pause before transiting into the next exercise?

My practice – and life – changed the moment I took more than a pause between asanas.

Taking time to consciously breathe through each nostril, to feel my entire torso filling up with breath, the breath that sustains us, is almost cathartic.

Soul-cleansing cathartic.

Most significantly, Pranayama, one of the Eight Limbs of Yoga, has shown me the virtues of breathing space into everything.

Breathing when I am chewing my food. Breathing when I am walking to catch a bus. Breathing when my heart aches.

It’s as if breathing through every core of my being has allowed me to viscerally and gently embrace all the unknowns and what-ifs that are unfolding before me.

The insecurity that comes with anticipating the disasters ahead dissolves when there’s space to step back, and you know, breathe cool breaths into a raging storm that always threatens to tear me up.

The moment I realized the sense of vastness in me mirrors the infinity offered by the universe, doors crack open. I receive people, places and little bounties that serve my highest good.

I have trusted the stream of consciousness offered by my breath will steadily and gracefully guide my every step.

This breath nourishes me as it fills my heart with a deep sense of gratitude.

It is with gratitude – and lungs and belly full of breaths – I am starting 2018, knowing the gift of breath will open me to the vast oceans in and outside of me.

Truly, everything is inside of me.

I am thine in mine myself.

Wahe guru!
