Discipline your disappointment!

What does it mean to have expectations? Expectations are the conditions you put on a person, object or situation to justify them by a belief that you hold. 
  • If you were a good friend you would have called to see how I am!
  • If he loves me he would help me out around the house!
  • Shes my best friend she would never go behind my back! 
All these expectations when not met cause a great deal of sorrow. Your beliefs are so deeply embedded in your subconscious mind that sometimes its hard to even know why you might feel disappointed by something! Your expectations are conditions....like putting a condition on whether you are happy or not, on how much you love something...conditional love!

Meditation is a tool which allows you to stop your thoughts and just review your life as a detached observer. I think its important everyday to stop and look at your thoughts and expectations....review them and learn how to discipline your disappointments! If you could free yourself from your expectations or atleast stand in the awareness of expectations you might have...then you can save yourself the disappointment and spend more of your time smiling and laughing :)

Realise that your happiness is within you. You have control over your thoughts and feelings at every moment of your life. Its not external or reliant on anything or anyone. How you react to a situation/person is your call. You can choose to be positive or negative.

As the saying goes:
“Life is 10% what happens to me and 90% how I react to it...’
 Wishing everyone that reads this peace, love and tones of laughter :)

The knowing...

Everyday the sun rises and then it falls. Everyday the moon rises and then it falls. Some days it shines brightly, you see it, you feel it. Others days it hides away, you can't see it, you can't feel it. But surely enough as another day approaches, the sun will rise and the moon will fall. Ever present, more and more beautiful with each appearance. Unfaltering faith in my angels working to my greatest good allows me to sit here on a lovely large pebble beach in Riomaggiore and see that nothing is really as bad as it might seem. Everything that is happening in my life, is happening for a greater reason that i am unaware of at present. With patience and time though, everything will be clear...the knowing that this day will come is beautiful. The knowing is my strength. The knowing is divine, a direct connection to the highest good. The knowing is allowing...allowing my guides and angels to direct me through my  life, to the most incredible people, to absolutely amazing p...

Kevala - finding my spiritual home ❤️

Image
I recently visited kevala in April 2023. I find it hard to attach words to how beautiful and sacred this space is. From the moment you walk in, you get a feeling of a beautiful safe haven, you are hit with positive possibility and opportunity. People are kind and love is flowing through each interaction.   The gardens are overflowing with lush green vibrancy, enticing you in with each step. There is an energy grid which is super charged and has a cosmic feel. This space really helped me dive deeper into myself, anchoring me in knowing and inner godliness. The nearby sacred mountains form a moving backdrop to the center, one morning we trekked up to the top allowing us to see the most spectacularly inspiring views, breath fresh and energized air and change perspectives completely. Inside the center the space is bright, the main hall has an electric energy, one that I could feel through every class, talk and group session within the space. The art work inspires and reconnects you whi...

Feel the fear...and do it anyway...!

I look to the right and I see the post-it note I doodled on yesterday. It reads: “Feel the fear...and do it anyway!” Amazing how things come to you at exactly the right time. Nothing at all in this world is a coincidence! Everything is a message from the greater good or a reality that you have bought into your existence through your thoughts! Today more than any other day in my physical life so far I believe that all that comes, comes for a good reason. To help me grow, to move me to a better place, to awaken me a little more to the truth of my reality! It is so important to develop a beautiful little sanctuary inside yourself, that you can go to and draw upon when challenging situations arise in your life. The sanctuary allows you to stay calm, cool, collected :) Times when you feel you are at a cross road...which way should you turn? At this moment it is so important for your inner self to speak...for you to trust it and follow it with unfaltering faith! Being at the decision...
