YOUR WILD FIRE WITHIN

Walk fearlessly towards love. Actually, run.
Run fearlessly, and FIERCELY.
Run, run so fast that the sound of your heartbeat echoes all around you.
Run towards love, and then dance, and move, and breathe for love.

Allow love to permeate your naked, raw self, allow love to fuel your INNATE, WILD FIRE WITHIN.
Allow love to create chaos, a BEAUTIFUL chaos. Allow love to change you, to open you up, to break you open.

Feel how love makes you feel. Feel every ounce of that CREATIVE energy that flows through you now. Feel yourself expand, feel your presence soar.  Feel love heal you. Feel how love can free you.

Walk fearlessly towards love. Actually, run.

Your Anahata Chakra

Our heart's are so, so, powerful. We all know that. But we don't always go out of our way to connect to that space. Our heart's hold IMMEASURABLE amounts OF BLISS, AND JOY. They hold BEAUTIFUL secrets, and wonder beyond wonder. But they also hold sorrow, and sadness, and our deepest of LONGINGS. And they need our love and focus. They need us to keep them open, to breathe LIFE INTO THEM EVERY DAY. 

The heart's centre governs all of our EMOTIONS, and therefore, truly affects all aspects of our Journey. When we close our hearts, we block the beauty of our prana, of LIFE, of love. Do yourselves a favour and stay open. 

Whether you can connect to your Anahata chakra every day, or once a week, the peace and STILLNESS that comes from that open space cannot be matched. When  your heart beats flawlessly and moves to the natural rhythm of your soul, of your body, you start to attract love and abundance and harmony WITHIN YOUR LIFE.  An open heart, opens you to all of LIFE.  

So, here are my top 5 ways I connect to my heart's space, to my 4th chakra. 

1. Say to yourself, aloud, or WITHIN,' I am open & ready to RECEIVE love. I am open & ready to hear the true beat of my heart. I am open & ready to be fully open-hearted. ' 

2. Breathe. Easy one eh? We forget to more often than not. Take 3 deep, deep, belly breaths, and focus on your heart's centre, and really feel yourself open up to that space, to come back down from your head. 

3. For a sweet & gentle way to re-connect to your Anahata chakra on the run, place your one hand on your heart, and the other on your belly, for even a moment, and feel the BEAUTIFUL beat of your heart dance as your belly RISES up and down. (Feels so good!!)

4. Journal, Journal, Journal!! WRITE THAT SHIT DOWN!! All the good, bad, and ugly. Put all of your sorrows and heartache down on paper, and release them from your BEING. Maybe burn some sage, and cleanse yourself of what does not serve you, of what stops the free flow of your heart's energy. 

5. Love yourself. On the deepest level, yes, love yourself, always, but also love yourself every day. Nurture yourself, follow your BLISS. When we do what we love, and honour ourselves, our hearts feel totally ALIVE. Whether you seek solace WITHIN the warmth of a hot bath, a cup of herbal tea, a long heart to heart talk WITH A BEAUTIFUL SOUL SISTER, or a walk through nature's beauty, honour that, and go that space. 

So, how can you re-connect to your heart's space today? How do you nurture and honour your heart? 

Love + Light to you all, have a wonderful weekend and send some love to that heart of yours, today, and always. That WILD, WILD, HEART OF YOURS. 

Choose Love

We are often brought to our knees, no matter who we are or where we come from, we have all felt the IMMENSE WEIGHT of a heavy heart. We have all been knocked down one way or another, naturally, we are all one, and we are all human. But I have learnt that we have a freedom to choose how we react, how we handle the BEAUTIFULLY PAINFUL lessons we have come to learn. You can choose love, or you can choose Fear. Trust me, no matter what you have been through, choose love. Choose love. See beauty wherever you look. See hope, see wonder. Allow your heart to carry you back to love. Opened, and ready to learn, to laugh, to fully feel the breath that allows you to really be here, present, open-hearted. 

Breathe, deeply, and fully. Have a lovely week everyone. Love & LIGHT. 

Open Your Heart To The Blood Moon

There's a beauty WITHIN you, a LIFE FORCE so very present, that holds the power of the DIVINE. There's a STILLNESS that can ground you, that can open your heart to the coloured sky above you. There's a breathe you can rely on, that can return you to love, to your FIERY soul. Hold close to you, the part of you that knows only peace. Allow yourself to be warmed by the pure essence of who you are, a DIVINE BEING OF LIGHT AND LOVE.

Happy Blood Moon everyone!! Always remember to nurture yourselves and allow all of that energy to move through you. Open yourself up to how you feel so you may release what no longer serves you, and so that you may expand your awareness of your truth and your soul's purpose.

To Ground Oneself

>Photo Found on PINTEREST<

We LIVE IN A WORLD that's so consumed by a false sense of Freedom, a false sense of peace. A world that teaches us to look OUTSIDE of ourselves, when the only way to true freedom and peace IS WITHIN. I spent so many years on AUTO-PILOT, and though there were moments of CLARITY, I had not even been grounded WITHIN my body, not even really connected to my soul. Sounds so surreal to me now as I reflect on where I have been and on where I am. When started my Journey to self-love, and my SPIRITUAL AWAKENING, I went and sought a hand to help me through the darker of days, to help me come bacK to my heart and my truth. That hand that the UNIVERSE so perfectly connected me to, was the hand of a man, who has changed me, completely and fully. That man's now someone I am happy to call a dear FRIEND, and truly, my GUIDE, and one of the only teachers I feel taught me matters that well, matter. 

That man, my own personal guru so to speak, taught me many, many lessons. But the one lesson he taught me that I go back to over and over, was to be GROUNDED. I remember the very first day I went and sat down across from my dear FRIEND, and he told me I was not grounded. That I was not presently connected to my truth, and that I was so scared of the present space I had created, that my soul had fled for help. Grounded. To ground oneself. I can honestly say I had never heard the term or even the concept to be grounded, ever, until that day, when he spoke those beautiful words. They changed me, and they continue to change me every day. 

How could I fully LIVE, how could I fully be present, when my soul's not fully connected to my heart, to my body, my TEMPLE, my LIGHT? To ground oneselfs to be blanketed by a handmade quilt of peace, a peace that takes you back to what's real, and allows you to see past fear, see past ILLUSION. 

When I started to fully understand the grandness of the art of being grounded, I was able to focus on what really mattered to me, and I was able to release all of those STORIES we create that never really serve us. As all paths go, yoga, MINDFULNESS,the way we eat, how we create, to learn to be grounded takes PRACTICE. A CONSCIOUS CHOICE you make every day to be grounded, and maybe even moments, an hour here or there. Trust me, when you have been ungrounded for years, a few hours of pure grounded BLISS feels more than enough to start. I now know that every moment I am stressed, or upset, or have created my own sense of chaos, that I am not grounded. There's so much power that comes once you are aware of that, once you know there's a better way, a spectacular,EUPHORIC way. 

So maybe ask yourself, do you feel grounded? Do you feel connected to your souls core purpose, to your heart, and do you feel yourself apart of every ounce of your body, your TEMPLE? Subtle changes, every day, every moment, can completely change the way you see yourself, see your world, and how you connect to both. 

A few ways I love to ground myself are

~ A long walk outdoors, surrounded by nature and my loved ones, or some days alone. 

~ A good hug of a TREE. No really, I hug TREES more often than not.Totally recommend. 

~A barefoot stroll on grass,a sandy beach by the ocean, Feel your body connect to Mother Earth. 

~ Yoga, of course, grounds me to my very core. 

~ MEDITATION, whether you have a few spare moments or an hour, take what you can. 

~ A hot,steamy bath full of Epsom salts and ESSENTIAL OILS. 

~ Have FUN, play, be goofy, and connect to yourself and your loved ones. 

~ Journal,blog, create, however you create, there's total BLISS that comes from that, and you can connect to your heart completely. 

~ Prayer

~ And above all else, breathe you wondrous soul!!

That man I sat across from that day, that open-hearted soul, taught me one of the most valuable lessons I have ever been taught, and I am FOREVER GRATEFUL for the love and KINDNESS he bestowed upon me that day, and every other we have spent UNRAVELLING who I thought I was, and who I thought I had to be. He has helped me every step of the way, to reconnect to my HIGHER self, to my goddess WITHIN. And I hope these words, the concept to ground yourself, to connect to your breathe and your body, serves you and can maybe allow you to connect to your Inner Goddess as well. 

Peace + Love 

Sweet sweet MAGIC

>Photo by Tessa Barton Photography<

The truth does not always come to us as we may have IMAGINED. Our paths and our soul's purpose do not always come to us the way we would want them to. PATIENCE, that's the key. Add an open-hearted SPIRIT and the truth always comes. And what makes your soul sparkle flows to you naturally. 

The funny part's that for me, the hardest part's to trust that I know my truth. To trust that I am on the path that has been so BEAUTIFULLY created for me. Ego wants us to create endless amounts of B.S. that only detour us from our truth, from our endless love, from the MAGICAL souls that we are. I do my best to remember to connect to my breath, to really feel my breath as I INHALE, and as I EXHALE. So often we forget to breathe, or at least I know I do. And I mean really breathe the sort of breath that centres you, grounds you,connects you to all that serves you and your purpose of love. The sort of breath that allows you to be MINDFUL. 

Sweet, sweet MAGIC. Breathe that sort of breath. 

Our breath, our truth,our soul's sparkle, our SPIRIT, our true purpose, they are all so completely connected. And I feel as though they all come together so wonderfully the moment we choose to trust. Trust that PRIMAL part of us that knows us better than anyone else ever could,that knows what sets our soul's on FIRE. You know you have felt that when all you want to do's shout out to the world YES,I have found what connects and grounds me to JOY.

A JOY that stems from pure,sacred love. 

I have learnt that for me, personally, PATIENCE can save you. When you let go of the need to force outcomes. When you completely surrender to what the UNIVERSE has planned for you. What GOD has planned for you, whatever GOD means to you. Trust. And TRUST that you have been GUIDED to exactly where you are at THIS VERY MOMENT for a reason. Open you heart and trust. Trust your truth. And as always, breathe. Breathe that sweet,sweet MAGICAL breath. 

The art of FORGIVENESS

It was not that long ago that I truly thought that to FORGIVE someone was weakness on my part, that that somehow reflected onto me as not strong enough. I thought that to forgive someone was for them, that the purpose was to let them off the hook for however you may have felt wronged. 

When I started my Journey, or as the awesome Brene Brown would say, my breakdown spiritual awakening, I learnt that to FORGIVE was about my Inner peace and my peace only. I learnt that the art of forgiveness allowed me the chance to move past LIMITING BELIEFS and become whole. Somewhere along our paths, we start to harness a whole lot of resentment, anger, and overall sorrow. We tend to hold grudges, and replay over and over why we are 'mad' or how awful that person was to us.

If I could go back, I would tell myself to let go, to forgive. To hang on to all that sorrow, you really only hang onto stagnant energy that does not serve you, that actually does a whole lot of harm to you and your soul, to your true essence. 
The art of forgiveness does not let the other person off the hook, you let yourself off the hook. You allow yourself to move forward, to put forth your energy towards your true heart's DESIRES. You bestow upon yourself a MIRACULOUS GIFT.

And the real beauty comes when we choose to surrender to forgiveness, and we actually forgive ourselves, for whatever the reasons may be. That's when the beauty of true self acceptance starts to play, and eventually peace and wholeness starts to dance at our feet. For me, personally, the moment I forgave those I felt had wronged me, so much old energy was released and I had created space for growth, for a fresh start. I took back my power. 

I chose to no longer attach myself to my past. And my sorrow no longer had an RSVP and a plus one to my future. I knew I had a story to tell, and I wanted that story to be my truth,and the only way to my truth was to release all that no longer served me. It has not always been easy, and I have to remember the exact words that I type here day to day. That's why we PRACTICE. 

So, maybe, when you come across an event that would normally cause you to harness anger or sadness or even fear, send love and LIGHT to yourself, and to whomever was apart of the event. Take a deep breathe, and ask yourself whether that energy serves you, whether your peace's worth that resentment. ALL we have to do's be WILLING. Show up, and say to yourself or even out loud, 

I am ready to FORGIVE, I am open to FORGIVENESS, I am at peace. 

Take a deep breathe, and allow your INNER GUIDANCE to take care of you. 

The Answers You Seek

>Photo found on Tumblr<

I have thought long and hard about what my message to the world,about what my soul’s purpose was. I have done my best to force the answers to appear, and even try to control the outcome. What I have found’s that the harder I try to come across these profound answers, the further away they appeared, and the further away I became from my truth.

So I surrendered! I opened my heart up to the my source, and I slowly began to learn to trust. I trusted that the answers I seek would come to me when I was ready for them.

One of the most profound answers that came to me was that I had to truly embrace the unknown and to trust the ebbs and flows of my Journey. The changes are constant, and they are pure beauty. To be able to go through complete sorrow and then come through eyes open, and heart open, that to me’s one of the greatest comforts, almost as though someone has wrapped a warm blanket around you and you completely melt from that comfort, from the safeness you feel.

That warm blanket of comfort, the safeness, and the courage to trust, they came to me through MEDITATION.  

I can honestly say that meditation was one of the key factors that saved me and taught me how to love myself. When I actually allowed myself to relax, and to breathe, I was able to reconnect to my true essence. I was able to reconnect to love. The process was not always easy, and took months to really  allow myself to get to that place.

The hardest steps are usually the ones we know we have to or need to take.

Meditation allowed me to go within, and to connect to who I really am. Meditation opened up the space for me to heal, and to let go what no longer served me. Day to day, I have been able to release fear, and to let go of fear based thoughts and doubts that kept me closed off to my soul’s purpose. That kept me closed off to pure, sacred, love and harmony.

Whether you have never meditated before, or whether you do so regularly, the peace and answers you seek are ready for you the moment you allow yourself to open up to them. So start somewhere, start anywhere, allow yourself to reconnect to your truth, and to come through the fog that fear has created for you.

We can always choose love, and can always choose to heal, no matter what we have been through. We all have a story, and we all can create a story of courage,love and trust.

WHAT YOU SEEK IS SEEKING YOU.  RUMI
