Beautiful reunions and time with people that bring out the best version of yourself are just amazing! The travel life is just so fulfilling.
Control of the mind
I shared with my friend that yoga, astrology, plant medicine and all these concepts help to break free from your mind. He asked me: are you not freed? I remember the simplicity of it all. Haha.
Life is our teacher, it’s how we can evolve constantly. It’s showing us time again and again what is playing in our subconscious mind and inner world. The lessons are everywhere and once you wake up to this the life is truly your teacher, no need for any tools.
Self expression
Besides our conversations there was a lot of movement and dancing: my favorite therapy. Play. Have fun. Celebrate life.
I realized this for me is one of the things that make me feel so free. I love to feel free: to express myself however I can be. Where in certain places on earth I feel more limited, in Colombia it’s the opposite. Maybe sometimes this also represents your own inner struggles but it is nice to be somewhere where nothing matters.
Someone told me recently in these videos I posted about the fun here that I was expressive and it hit something in me – because I see myself as an expressive person (most of the times). I realized with certain people not your full personality comes out. Or you do not feel safe to express yourself to the fullest.
Detachment
I met another yoga teacher who released a lot of material possessions which made me think about my own things. But I realized it’s more about being able to detach from the things you do have then to have little things.
This also made me go into how sometimes the most spiritual thing you can do it own really beautiful things. Or have a very good oil to help your skin glow. It’s the little things. Turn on the heating system, buy clothing that is healthy for the body and planet, get food that is nourishing. The yogic or spiritual path is sometimes very minimal and that is good, to practice detachment but it does not mean we have to suffer and make life more difficult
Compassion and sharing from the heart
Learning how not to practice transactional love and giving from a place of wholeness and compassion is endlessly powerful. It shifts everything.
Being able to fully observe and know when emotions belong to others is another powerful skill. Recognize the mirror and release. Let it go.
projections and fantasies onto places
Another thing that came to me was the fact that I can fantasize a lot about people, create whole ideas and projections onto them. Then it hit me, I do the same with the places I visit. My rose colored glasses are on and everything is amazing!
So funny, I can see myself live everywhere and build lives all over the globe, but then when the reality hits I realize home is within and it does not matter where I am. All is a reflection of my inner world.
My time in Colombia is wonderful and giving me more than I could’ve wished for. My heart is warm ♥︎
