My personality, and I guess my Soul expression, is that of freedom and independence. My human self does not particularly like following (unnecessary) rules, other peoples' patterns and trends and such like. She wants what she wants. This past few months, and especially these past two weeks, I have been more and more practicing surrender. Not to some outside force but rather surrender to the Self, the Over Soul and allowing. Surrender and letting go seem simple concepts but not so simple to practice and become, but allowance is what is required. My human self does not like this so much but is finding that the more she allows the more she actually finds that life happens in a sometimes delightful way. I will say that I have found it challenging at times over my travels as my human rebels, wants things her own way, pushes for outcome and forgets that she is an aspect of a multidimensional being, as we all are. I found that when I allowed my head to rule and try to work out what next, what is happening blah blah, the picture became more blurred, I became more irritated and things seemed more complex. When I remembered to allow myself to connect with Soul, actually surrender in action (non-action) and allow the flow things actually worked out without the striving to achieve. A big remembrance for me over these weeks is that the things I guide others through is what I am being challenged with myself. And this is as it needs to be. Walking the talk is essential and acknowledging when that is not happening is an important part of evolution. Anyway, as I sit in Emirates Lounge in Heathrow airport off to Dubai and a different reality bubble, I wanted to connect, share a little something, let you all know I have missed the connections and look forwards to hearing from those of you who feel to reach out. With love as always 💙

I have been waiting (and delaying) having my implants done and today was the day. So after antibiotics and anaesthetic to numb the pain of having my jaw drilled into, I thought I would write something today to connect with community but am in a somewhat altered consciousness state. Being gentle on myself, having no expectations, drinking lots of water taking it easy so my body can recover. How is your day going today? Any surprises or happenings? Being gentle on yourself or forcing yourself to do something? 💙

I've been 'offline' these past few days as I am yet again packing up, this time in Marrakech on my way to the UK then ... hmmm Dubai if things do not go astray globally (again 🙄). I have not made too many plans in terms of the future as since the p(l)andemic I realised that we can make all kinds of plans but sometimes life (and/or insane people), can decide to take us all on a different path and timeline. So I make short term choices in the 'hope' (oooh I dislike that word) that there is some greater soul purpose that I cannot always see, as Lao Tsu says "the journey of a thousand miles begins with one step", so I go step by step. I also feel that if we know too much we humans have a tendency to try to manipulate life to work in a particular way rather than pointing ourselves in the direction we are wishing to go in and allowing our Over Soul to get us there (wherever 'there' may be) with all the synchronicities and people we may meet along the way. So I thought that my current short term plan was great. Pack up in Marrakech before it gets crazy hot and filled with tourists, head to UK, sort out my son's apartment as his current tenant is leaving, just in time (I thought) for me to move in, see grandchildren, my daughter, friends). Head to Dubai if all is well. Safe bet I thought. Hmmm. He has now decided to return to the UK and occupy his apartment! So, I am in the flow of unknowing and surrendering to my Over Soul, trusting she has some greater idea than I have on what next. In general surrender is not my nature, at these times I would normally enter a place of anxiety interspersed with tantrums, swimming upstream like the salmon but without the purpose that the salmon has. But today I allowed myself to breathe, continued to clear, pack, give away and allow myself to be present in each moment. Feeling the lightness of giving away, clearing out the old, feeling into what stays and what no longer belongs in my life with the Me I am now, not allowing my mind to take me on any mad journey of the imagination of what the future will, or will not, hold.

Behind the scenes look at the Shadow. The shadow often arises when the psyche decides that something has to change and if you are not open to the change will often bring things to the surface to be revealed. Often when we do not allow this we are faced with a crisis of identity, health issues, or if really not listening, we are challenged through the rite of passage called The Dark Night of The Soul. Enjoy Made with love
