Lovely community 🤍 Our Mindful Monday Meditation is happening tomorrow at 9:30 pm instead of today, as I’m flying tonight. ✨ Why we meditate together Meditation isn’t about having a quiet mind. For some people that comes easily - for many of us (including me!!!), it doesn’t. And that’s not a problem. The practice is not to stop your thoughts, but to notice them. You'll see your mind wander - that’s normal. Your only job is to observe it, gently bring your attention back to the present moment, and reconnect with the music and my voice. This simple skill translates into everyday life. You will begin to notice your thoughts instead of being ruled by them. And when you can observe your thoughts, you can change them. What you repeat, you become. Change your thoughts - change your life. This doesn’t happen overnight. That’s why we practice - together - every single week. ✨ 🌿 You might be wondering why I offer these meditations for free every week, and what I gain from it. The truth is, I gain something deeply meaningful. I meditate every single day and have done so for years, and through this practice I’ve experienced profound healing, clarity, and moments of true coming home to myself. But there is something uniquely powerful and sacred about sharing this practice. Bringing people together from all over the world, even for just half an hour, to quiet the mind, soften the heart, and heal together feels incredibly precious and delicate. Guiding this space and witnessing that collective shift fills me with gratitude every single week - I truly feel blessed. 🤍 I just want to say - it truly melts my heart that some of you reached out when you saw it was moved in the calendar. Thank you for your support, and more importantly, for showing up for yourselves week after week. That’s where the real work happens. ✨ Practical details 🗓 Every Monday at 9:30 pm 📍 We’re back on Zoom (Skool doesn’t allow shared audio yet) 🔗 You’ll find the Zoom link in the Skool calendar - it’s there every week

And yes - that includes self-love. We often think judgment is harmless. “It’s just an opinion. It’s just how I see things.” But energetically and biologically, judgment does something very specific: it closes the heart. 🌿 What judgment actually does (scientifically) When you judge yourself or others, your system goes into protection mode. - Your brain shifts into threat detection - Your nervous system prepares to defend, fix, compare, attack or withdraw - Stress chemistry rises - The body subtly enters fight/flight or freeze On a brain level, judgment pulls you into separation: “me vs. you, good vs. bad, worthy vs. unworthy” That separation feeling is the opposite of what love does. Love creates connection, safety, and openness. Judgment creates distance, tension, and defence. You can’t be fully open and fully defensive at the same time. The body literally won’t allow it. 💛 Self-judgment: how it blocks self-love Every time you tell yourself: - “I should be further along.” - “I’m not enough.” - “I’m too much.” - “I always mess this up.” your nervous system hears: “I am not safe as I am.” So it contracts. Your heart space tightens. Breath becomes shallow. The body holds its breath around your own existence. Self-judgment doesn’t “motivate” you. It puts you into survival mode around your own identity. And in survival, love struggles to flow. 🌌 Spiritually: why judgment and love don’t coexist From a spiritual perspective, love is recognition: the recognition that underneath all patterns, pain, stories and roles - there is something pure, conscious and whole. Judgment locks onto the surface. It fixates on behaviour, labels, mistakes, timelines, and appearances. Love sees essence. Judgment sees the mask and calls it the truth. Love says: “I see your humanity and your divinity.” Judgment says: “I reduce you to the part of you I don’t like.” When you judge yourself, you’re doing the same: reducing your entire being to a moment, a pattern, a trait. That reduction is a form of inner violence.

that we spend so much time doing spiritual, physical, emotional, mental work - all trying to bring ourselves back into the present moment… when enjoying the present moment is actually just one simple decision in the now? We journal, we heal, we meditate, we affirm, we try so hard to “get there”…but presence isn’t something you chase. It's something you choose. Right here.Right now. In this breath. I’m not saying the inner work is meaningless - it’s beautiful, powerful, transformative. But sometimes the mind makes the journey feel longer than it needs to be. Sometimes the thing you’re chasing is only one small choice away. Choosing to enjoy this moment. Choosing to soften into your body. Choosing to breathe consciously. Choosing to be here, instead of somewhere else in your mind. You choose where your energy goes. You choose what you invest your time in. And you choose how you experience this moment. Life becomes simpler when you realise this: Presence is not a destination. It's a decision. And you can make it any time you want. 🌿✨ After all, we are always in the present moment; it's impossible to be anywhere else in the 3D, but what's difficult is bringing our mind back here. Away from the past and future. There are so many techniques to do it, but funnily enough, it's all just a decision after all :)

When people say “open your heart,” it can sound poetic. But there’s real biology behind it. Your heart isn’t just an organ. It is an electromagnetic powerhouse. Scientifically speaking: 💛 The heart has its own brain. It contains over 40,000 neurons - meaning it can think, remember, and send information to the brain. This is called the heart-brain connection. 💛 The heart’s electromagnetic field is 5,000 times stronger than the brain’s. This field radiates around your body and shifts based on your emotional state. Love, gratitude, compassion = a coherent field. Stress, fear, anxiety = an incoherent field. 💛 Coherence is the real “heart opening”. When your heart and brain are in coherence, your entire system changes. Science shows that heart coherence leads to: • calm nervous system • better immune response • clearer thinking • balanced hormones • increased intuition and creativity • deeper emotional resilience This is why heart-opening practices feel so powerful - you’re not imagining it. You are shifting your entire physiology. 💛 Heart opening = emotional safety. When your heart center softens, the body moves out of fight-or-flight and into regulation. The mind quiets. Your intuition becomes clearer. Your energy field expands. It is both a biological state and a spiritual experience. Heart opening means your system is saying: “I am safe enough to feel. I am safe enough to connect. I am safe enough to love.” It’s not about forcing emotions - it’s about creating coherence inside your body so your natural feelings can flow again. ✨ If you’ve felt your chest expand during meditation…✨ or tears rise unexpectedly…✨ or a warm glow move through your body… That’s your heart coming back online - biologically, energetically, and spiritually. The heart isn’t symbolic. It's your strongest transmitter of truth. Learn to open it… and your entire reality shifts with it. 💛✨ Tomorrow I'll talk more about heart-brain coherence, what it is and how to achieve it 🙏 Let me know your questions in the comment section :)

I had a beautiful conversation with a dear friend today, and it reminded me of something... Something important :) That you MATTER! That you are enough without proving. Your mere existence is proof that you matter and you are worthy. Knowing this makes wanting to prove you are worthy an act of choice, not a must. You can choose to do things without putting pressure on yourself. You can choose to create whatever reality you want to create and not because you have to prove to someone you are worthy, but because you are so worthy that you can choose to do anything you want. The universe doesn’t make mistakes. It doesn’t create accidents. It doesn’t place souls on this Earth without purpose. You are here because you are meant to be here. Because your presence matters. Because your energy contributes to the whole. Because you are great enough - powerful enough - sacred enough to exist. Existence itself is evidence of worthiness. You don’t need to earn it, prove it, or justify it. You are already enough - simply because you are. ✨ Remember that today. ✨ Feel it. ✨ Let it land in your heart. You exist - and that alone is extraordinary. That alone is enough. Now, go and enjoy your existence 💜
