25.01.2022 The most important lesson you can learn in life is what it means to be you. We are unique, we are beautiful, we are divine, we are the masters of our own ship. We live in a world that reduces. It reduces people down to labels and tries to pack them into neat little boxes, this is not the way humans are a meant to live. We are far to nuanced for that. Our culture is afraid to be seen as different and this is a survival mechanism. It developed in our ancestors to ensure we wou...ld not be rejected by our tribe and ostracized, resulting in certain death. It is not the way we have to live anymore. The world is growing in diversity and showing that all our gifts can be celebrated. We no longer need to conform to what others expect of us. We can become our own person. Carl Jung described this process as individuation. The process of integration of the conscious and the unconscious. It is a natural stage in all of our evolution. Becoming who we were always a meant to be through the removal of countless conditioning. You can be whoever you want in this world. Define what that means for you. What dreams do you have for yourself that you feel might be unacceptable? Ask yourself is it the society or me that thinks these are unacceptable? If your unsure DM me, I would love to hear your dreams

23.01.2022 SOME EXCITING NEWS!!! I'm thrilled to have found my own coach, someone who I find deeply inspiring, @hallie_rosebud. Hallie is an incredible human being and does some amazing work and I am so excited to be working with her. I want to create a platform in which I can be authentic and that means being honest. Initially the idea of finding my own coach, I had some resistance to it. There was many reasons for this, is it worth investing in myself, will it be worth my time and ...energy, do I need my own coach? I realised that much of this wasn't the issue. I was scared of change. I was ok where I was. But I knew if I wanted to live the life I want, I needed help. For those that have this resistance to coaching, know that I also understand. I see life as a bunch of steps, we can learn how to climb them ourselves and work hard to get where we end up or we can find someone who has climbed them before to show us the best route. There is still work but it makes it that much easier. I am grateful to have found someone who can guide me along for the next few steps #coach #newbeginnings #growth #grateful #nextsteps #excited

23.01.2022 Today as been one of reflection. The first day of #pypchallenge2020 Hearing @devinfredericksen speak it reminded me of something I already knew. A lesson that I have ignored. Though I know it will repeat until it is learnt. ... Awareness precedes change. Now I see how I have falling out of integrity. The way to reclaim it, is to claim my own short comings. To see myself for where I am at with zero illusion. I have seen my warrior not in service to my own king. He has wished to serve another, to claim glory, to claim praises but not to honour the own sovereignty of his king. I repeat this often, seeking external validation in the hopes I will be accepted. I forgot my own mission and thus fall out of integrity. I know it is my own responsibility to do what I know to be just. I bring myself towards this alignment bit by bit. Though I know I have not achieved my goals as of yet, I am not dismayed. I know this is a small step upon the path and realizing where I am at and where I wish to be motivates me upon the journey. Each day I step closer and closer. Never forget the small wins and remember it is your journey and no one elses

21.01.2022 How do you play? The importance of play and enjoyment is one of the things I believe our society discredits entirely too much. There is something pure about doing anything for the simply pleasure of enjoyment. It brings you out of your mind and into your body. It helps to slow us down and bring back to what is true.... I have found myself caught in this trap many times. Believing that I need to do more. Today I decided to change that and come back to myself. Today music is my tool. Feeling the vibrational energies of the drum pass through my body reminds me of the aliveness within me. It makes me remember. How have you honored your inner child today and played?

20.01.2022 Being able to do a handstand had been a goal of mine for far longer than it should have. I would go through phases where I was committed to learn and practicing everyday and then wouldn't for months. The truth is I had no reason to stay committed. I didn't want it enough. I had no accountability and also faced the prospect of failing over and over again while I learnt. That is the lesson that this taught me though, to achieve what you want, you must truly want it and and be ...willing to fail. Knowing that even if you do fail, it is not a waste, it is experience. Experience you can put towards your next attempt. I failed countless times, made mistakes and tried again. That is all I could do. If I wanted to achieve my goal, I would have to fail. Slowly, through failing i moved closer towards my goal. Take each failure as a lesson and move forward. Commit yourself to your practice and you will see results. Small consistent action is the key to big changes. #handstand #failure #lessons #consistancy #smallchanges #progressnotperfection #ipreview via @preview.app

20.01.2022 It may not be your fault but it is your responsibility. In our world we have a belief that at the end of the day someone is going to ride in, guns blazing and save us from the inevitable doom. We see this over and over again, in all types of media. The hero coming into save the day. As a result, we give up our power and wait for someone else to fix the very problems we notice. This is the realm of the shadow king. The one who wants the world to serve them instead of serving t...he world. This pushes their kingdom into turmoil, it begins to become unbalanced, problem after problem arises with no action. The true king realises their own power. They are the sovereign. They dedicates themselves to serving the realm. As a result, their kingdom flourishes. The Hopi elders had a saying, "we are the ones we have been waiting for". I believe there has never been a time when this is more true. We must take responsibility. We must take ownership. We must take back our own power. We must save ourselves. You are the hero. You are the one who rides in and saves the day. Realise your own power and potential and be the one the world needs.

19.01.2022 I have so often been so scared of failure that I would be to scared to try. I've realised how much in life this has cost me. Failure is only failure when we gain nothing. If we can take lessons from the actions we take, we can find that we are always successful. When you look back on your life, what do you regret most? The things you tried and failed or the things you didn't try at all? I know where my regrets lie.... Too often we try and be perfect. This is our ego, our pride. Let go of this false perception, us humans are messy creations. Imperfectly perfect. Embrace yourself for all that you consider flaws and love yourself regardless. It is better to be whole than perfect and the only way to be whole is through love.

19.01.2022 The old saying "don't let one person ruin your entire day" is a concept most of us have been exposed to, though rarely implement. We get caught up in a story of how gravely we have been wronged, how badly we have been mistreated or how we deserve better. All of which may be true. But it limits our power. By acknowledging that this person may be experiencing great pain, we can transmute that anger and frustration into compassion. We can see the wounded person that this action ...is coming from and we can offer them love. Once we see them for what they are, we can more easily change our reaction. We can move it from a reaction to a conscious action. We do not have to let the pendulum continue to swing. Offering this compassion and love will soften your own heart and give you the grace to return happily back to your day. By no means accept their abuse, reject it while acknowledging their hurt and watch how your mood can change. Return to yourself and forget the story. Ask if that encounter is worth being upset your entire day, and if not, move on. Show yourself love by not letting someone else control your internal world

18.01.2022 What are you choosing? Lately I have found myself bringing more awareness to how the choices I make create the life I live. I see how my intentions and my desires create the results. I have also noticed how half heartedly striving for something will not give the results you desire.... This is where I have been at lately. Saying and thinking I wish to do something, though the bellows that fuel my burning passions have remained unpumped. I have had many desires, to do lists, goals and dreams. And that has been my problem. I have been distracting myself with all the things I think I should do, and felt drawn in so many directions that I could not pick one. As humans we must remember it is only possible to do so much at a single time. That is why today, I decide what I am going to manifest in the world. The peace, the love, the passion, the presence, the gratitude, the desires that I wish to embody. I make the conscious choice to move towards this embodiment out of love for myself and the world. Tell me what are you choosing in your life.

17.01.2022 Looking backwards on the previous year, it has shown me a great deal. For many it has been a time of uncertainty and turmoil. With all that has occurred in the past year it has made me question what are my intentions going forward? What do I want to move towards in the next year? The chaos taught what cannot be taken for granted. ... The unknown taught to trust in oneself. The change taught us nothing is permanent. The loss taught us there is always another way. The year taught to enjoy the simple things. The separation taught the importance of community. To come back to our own being. To come back to our mother earth. To come back to ourselves. It reminded us that which was once known. Now is the time to bring the lessons of the past into the future. Now is the time to create a new way. Now is the time to be true. Now is the time to let go of who you thought you had to be and be who you are. Now is the time. What are you waiting for? How will you move forward?

12.01.2022 There is no one quite like you. You are unique. You are one of a kind. And that person is beautiful. Our society often tries to suppress the natural gift of being who you are and label you to fit you into a certain box. I think humans are far to nuanced for this to work. Instead of trying to dull the brightness of each individual human, let's celebrate each of us. A rising tide lifts all ships. Anothers differences does not take away from you. The world is abundant and provid...es for all of us. Once we realise the beauty in living our own life, we can recongise the same in anothers. Then we can celebrate them. Instead of judging another for their differences we can see them as we see trees. Seeing all the differences and then the beauty because of this. Doing this gives us the permission to live our own life as we deem to be true. However that may look. Do not live in fear. Live from love and freedom and give others the gift to do the same

12.01.2022 When was the last time you celebrated yourself? I have always been someone who keeps pushing, to reach one goal and then look for the next. The constant cycle of chasing the carrot on the end of the stick. Nothing is wrong with ambition and wanting to further ourselves. When we forget where we have come from and what we have achieved, we can forget to be grateful for all we have cultivated and all the achievements we have reached. We forget the work we have done and this c...an cause despair and distress. Remembering how we have changed, how we have developed, helps us to connect back in with our own spirit and allows us to slow down. It allows us to be as we are and be proud of who we are. This is the journey of a lifetime, it is a marathon and not a sprint. This week has been one of reflection for me. It has been three months since I began working with the wonderful, @hallie_rosebud. It has been some of the most transformative, boundary pushing and exciting times of my life. Having the support of someone who fully shows up in their work to put it simply, has been life changing. For this I am truly grateful As I slow down and savior my own process through this journey, I can see my own changes. Diving deeper than I ever have in to who I am, my direction in life, processing traumas and learning how to step into an authentic version of me. Learning how to surrender my conditioning on who I thought I had to be. This has been my most powerful lesson. Learning that we can be exactly as we are, we do not have to conform to standards, expectations or another's way of life. We can be our own sovereign individuals This is what I celebrate. I celebrate what I have achieved and the many lessons I have learnt. For this I am proud. I know it is a long journey ahead but for now, I celebrate What achievements have you yet to celebrate for? What credit have you forgotten to give yourself? Be proud of what you have achieved and all you have become Be weird and wonderful my friend

09.01.2022 I would take this a step further, it is imperative that you are yourself. It is fantastic to be unapologetically you When you dont live in alignment with yourself, you are living in fear. Fear of what others will think, say or do. You hide away parts of yourself out of fear of judgement. This response is natural. It has a biologically basis. In tribal societies if we were ostracized, it meant death. ... We no longer have to live this way. With the connection of the world, no matter your view, you cannot please everyone. Choose to please yourself instead. Trust in your own opinion, your own justifications and your own truth. Live life in the way you deem fit. Do not wait for others to validate it, validate it yourself. This is empowerment. This is owning 100% of yourself and honouring yourself to the highest degree. When we do this, we attract others who can see us for who we truly are and then love us for that being. You do not have to change for others. You are enough the way you are. You are exactly as you should be. Let your light shine bright

08.01.2022 Often we get caught up in trying to do something in such a way to ensure that it will not incur any judgment. We worry and become anxious that we haven't done the task "perfectly". The truth is; no matter what you do, you cannot please everyone. Instead, let go of this fear and do what feels right and remember if it works, it ain't stupid. #justdoit #letgooffear #beyourself #beweird #pleaseyourself #dontoverthink #dowhatworks #ipreview

07.01.2022 Meditation has been one of the hardest practices for me to develop, and also one of the most beneficial. As someone who lives so much in my head it has helped to ground me and become more aware of the stories that I tell myself. Before I started this practice, I would get lost and caught up in made up scenarios which would simply not be true. ... Caught in the past or the future, I could never be in the now. I worried what had been and what was to come. This is no way to live. The only moment that truly exists is now. I am still realizing the importance of that statement. Bringing my consciousness to now. Letting what will be, be and what was, was. The more we can bring our awareness to now, the more we can truly live. Tell me what you use to bring yourself into the moment

07.01.2022 In times of change we can find the forces that resist, grow. We may find unrelenting forces getting stronger and fear become overpowering. Newtons law of inertia states that when an object is in rest, it will not move until it is acted upon. It requires an input of energy.... The same is when we wish to bring upon change within. It requires us to work to create that change. When you first begin that process of change, you can realise the darkness that is now surrounding the light. It can feel overwhelming. To start a fire, you must care for the flame. As you care for the flame, it will grow. Remember this when you begin to burn your own fire, it will burn out if you do not commit to tendering it. Treat it with love and kindness and never be scared to start a fire just because it makes the darkness known.

07.01.2022 Why do we share? Why do we choose to show up in our most authentic form? This is a scary concept for many people. To show up in a way which you have no protection. To show up without the persona we try and project into the world but as the rawest version of ourselves. It is something I have found great power in lately. Throughout my life I tried to be perceived in a certain way. My egoic self wanted me to be liked, to be loved and to be accepted. It was tiring ... I felt drained. Always on edge. Scared that someone would get a peep at what was beneath. Scared that if I showed them my truth I would be rejected. Then I saw this was rejection of myself and this was more painful than rejection from the entire world. It was then I knew I couldn't do that. I began to deconstruct the layers of armour that I had put around my heart. It began to make me feel lighter. To be freer The journey is long but each time I lean into the fear of "I can't do/say/be that" I realise we are more than this. We are greater than our identity, our ego and sense of self. This I will always be learning and for that I am thankful. When we realise that we are enough the way we are, we can begin to be free. You do not have to be anyone else, a different way, you can simply be you. The freedom is worth the fear. What are you scared to show the world? What is holding you back from being the truest expression of you? Find a space in which you can share this and watch your walls become to finally come down.

06.01.2022 There is power in giving voice to what we fear to share It shows the fear that it does not control us. It shows us that we are more than this fear. That we are greater than it. I have found this strongly in my own experience, when I had shame around an issue, the more I can speak to that and overcome my fear, the less it effects me and has control of me. Each time allowing a little layer of conditioning and armour to fall away. ... Through sharing our stories we give permission for others to also share and ultimately to be more free. Slowly allowing us to go from a contracted state to a more expanded one. One that is unafraid to shine its light as brightly as possible. Be the bright light in the darkness and let it shine upon your beauty

06.01.2022 The power of our own thoughts may be one of the strongest forces in the world. When we believe something we make it true. Many of us have limiting beliefs that we tell ourselves "I am not worthy", "I can't do that", etc. The only reason this is true, is because we believe it ourselves. When you begin to watch your mind and begin to notice the stories that you tell yourself, you can see how you disempower yourself. Then you can begin to see these thoughts for what they are, st...ories that you tell yourself. I've asked myself many times why I say these things. The truth is I am scared. Scared that I might be capable of achieving my desires, scared that I could still fail if I committed fully, scared that to do, it I must show up 100% authentically behind no mask. This is not the way I wish to live anymore. For all this fear, I've realised the scarier concept is to have never tried and be laying on my death bed looking back at what I regret. That scares me more than anything else. So we must try. Chasing my dreams and enjoying my journey excites me more than conforming to the belief that it is not possible. To me, trying is worth more than anything else. Knowing at the end of my days, I stood in integrity within myself. What are you willing to risk it all for? Memento Mori

06.01.2022 Lately I have seemed to live in my fears. Getting caught up in the stories that I have created. I knew this, though I was powerless to change it. It wasn't until I realised how much I was holding onto that I could see why this was the case. I had closed myself off from my friends and tried to deal with this on my own. I knew it had to change. To do that, I had to lean into my fear. My fear of being vulnerable and open. To share my fears, feelings and desires with those around... me. To show all of my humanity. When we try and suppress part of ourselves, symptoms often appear and manifest in so many ways. Our bodies are smart, our minds are smart, our spirit is smart, we must merely listen to the wisdom that it shares. Being willing to be vulnerable and share my thoughts, allowed me to break the repetitive thought patterns. To see them for what they were, stories, and create new ones. This willingness to share and be open is a confronting practice, and so powerful because of that. We must be willing to open ourselves up and be seen if we seek the healing of ourselves and the world. When was the last time you shared what was truly in your heart?

05.01.2022 Believing that an experience happens to you can put you into a victim role. Acknowledging what is occurring and accepting what you can do with that experience empowers you. You have a choice. To be a victim or to be empowered. To believe that it is an unlucky circumstance or take responsibility for it. Detaching from the victim mindset is a scary process. It means that you accept that you and only you are responsible for the life you live. It means that you will have to take charge of your life. That if you want change, you have to make it. That is scary but know your own true power and what you are truly capable of.

02.01.2022 When was the last time you slowed down and simply enjoyed yourself? We live in a world that is constantly moving, there is always more to do, the next goal to reach, the next object to buy, the never ending to do list. But when have you stopped and enjoyed the moment? This is a trap I have found myself in lately. Feeling that constant need to be moving forward. And I have suffered as a result. ... My mind has been a constant chatter. Playing over and over all the things in which I could do. At first, I thought completing these tasks and achieving these goals would help. It did not. It wasn't until I slowed down and brought my attention to the present that I was able to calm this endless chattering. I sat and asked myself what I needed. It wasn't anything external, it was stillness. It was giving myself the permission to relax, to feel truly what I felt, to experience all that I experienced. Then I could find my centre. I challenge you to pause for a second today, give yourself 5 minutes of your time and simply enjoy all that you have embodied. Enjoy and show yourself the love you deserve

02.01.2022 The Magician, castor of spells and illusions Day 2 of the #pypchallenge2020 The magician archetype is responsible for many great things, for creating, for alchemizing. His shadow form however, casts illusions upon the world ... My magician has been strong in his shadow. Casting illusions to manipulate how people see me, to hide away my true esscense. He was scared to be seen as anything but perfect. He rejected his own humanity. As part of this challenge with @devinfredericksen we were asked to look at ourselves and truly see our bodies, our souls. I studied mine. I saw all the ways in which I tried to force my image into a box to create the projection I desired. I saw the years of punishing myself at the gym for not looking a certain way, for not being strong enough, for my muscles not being big enough. I seen the years I spent hating my own body. Then I saw the last year of work. Almost a year since I've been to the gym. A year since I've found a way to exercise that I love and feel rewarded for. I've lost a lot of muscle but even greater layers of conditioning around the ideas of what it means to be a man. I've gained so much more. Freedom. Freedom is what I have gained. Freedom from trying to be a certain way. Freedom to embrace myself fully for who I am. Freedom to be myself. Freedom to be weird My magician still wishes to cast many spells of dishonesty but slowly I am lifting this veiling. Connecting in with the heart and letting it be my guide. This is the only way to true freedom and I plan to be free. Does your shadow magician play any role in your life?

02.01.2022 Remember failure is only failure when you do not take the teachings from this on board. Each time this occurs, it only adds to your knowledge and increases the likely hood of succeeding on your next attempt. Do not give up and know that each time you fail, you are that much closer to achieving your goal. #failure #dontgiveup #quote #teachings #learn #grow #ipreview

01.01.2022 Escaping to higher places How do you celebrate that child within you? How do you honour them? How do you play? Too often I have been caught in the seriousness of life. Thinking too much and enjoying too little. ... It is not a way to live. It doesn't all have to matter. You can enjoy for enjoyments sake. Let that inner child within you play. Dance in the rain, climb a tree, dig in the dirt. Laugh at the absurdity of life and soak in the pleasures that are offered. Watch how life changes when you begin to take it less seriously. When you let yourself be free of preconceived ideas of how you should be. Honour yourself by doing all the weird and wonderful shit you want too. Do not let the norms control you.
