Mantra: Curiosity (Asia Suler)
yoga. retomar el contacto de mi cuerpo con la medicina de yoga, renovar mi compromiso con la esterilla y mi práctica en casa (Janet Yoga)
¿dónde? dormitorio: paz, sosiego, ternura
valla: SECURE
en el escaso pasillo que queda justo entre la cama y la pared del armario empotrado: HELD
con mi lámpara de sal de color naranja incandescente: COMFORTED
Y ha sido, como siempre, fantástico.
My kind of home
I must have a hobbit hole.
No, thanks. I learnt the kind of home I need is up where I belong, one oozing light and bliss, sort of like perching in between hilltop and cloud and star and moon, and back again.
Finding Persephone: from little girl to chaos bringer
I've entered into the "self-rescue" phase of my life... where every springy Persephone woman eventually is meant to head towards.

Don’t leave the longings of your heart on a dusty shelf, or
put your dreams away in a box marked ‘never’. Instead use your longings as a
map to where your soul wants to return.
Unpack your dreams and let them be the guide book for your
plans.

JUDGEMENT
Rebirth, resurrection, forgiveness, awakening, mental
clarity, rewards for past efforts, good health.
Reversed: loss, stagnation, fear of change, ill health.
We are the descendants of the wild women you forgot. We are the stories you thought would never be taught. They should have checked the ashes of the women they burned alive. Because it takes a single wild ember to bring a whole wildfire to life.🔥— Nikita Gill
Goddess of Spring and Queen of the Underworld.

Modern women with leading archetype of Persephone find the
very process of healing and reconciling with their past is what gives their
life a meaning. They lead by example and inspire others.

Type 4: The Individualist (or Romantic)
Type 4: The Individualist (or Romantic)
Ego Fixation: Melancholy
Holy Idea: Origin
Basic Fear: They have no identity or personal significance
Motivations: To find themselves and their significance
Virtue To Learn: Equanimity (Emotional Balance)
Holy Idea: Origin
Basic Fear: They have no identity or personal significance
Motivations: To find themselves and their significance
Virtue To Learn: Equanimity (Emotional Balance)
The Holy Idea of "Origin" is to do with the understanding that everything derives from our Soul, or source of consciousness. The distortion here occurs when our personality or ego is searching outside of itself for an "Origin" and in doing so, romanticizes a quest for the "holy grail" that never quite seems to be attainable.
The Individualist is usually a self-aware, sensitive, and reserved person. They are emotionally honest, creative, and personal, but can also be moody and self-conscious. The Individualist has a tendency to withdraw from others due to feeling vulnerable and defective, and often feels disdain for ordinary ways of living. This type of person typically has problems with melancholy, self-indulgence, and self-pity.
The main obstacle for The Individualist is that they believe themselves to be "special" as a result of their longing for the origin of everything, or their perpetual search for that which will finally complete them (think of the stereotypical poet).
This defense mechanism of feeling "more special than others" can often be rooted in feelings of abandonment in early years (either physical or emotional) resulting in doubts of self-worth. In later years this results in the desire to compensate for these feelings of inadequacy by becoming important in some way. #enneagram #type4
"Refuge"
Another "soul whisper" completed ❤️ She is called "Refuge" and was inspired by a song created by my husband as well as my own journey. At first glance she appears like a peaceful mother cradling her baby and when I first began that was what I thought she represented as well. As I continued she whispered that she was a reminder of the importance of becoming your own "refuge", of the sacred act of nurturing the inner child. My relationship with my mother is non-existent and I've had to learn to become my own good parent or become stuck in cycles of self pity and abandonment. It was healing to create a "soul whisper" to honor that journey and to remember, I have everything I need within. #soulwhisper#soulwhisperarts #art #artheals#paperclaysoulwhisper #ooak #originalart

Éste es el
último mail que escribí a la mía el pasado 5 de enero, cuando por primera vez sentí que tenía
derecho a expresar esta pregunta, y que no sólo ha quedado sin responder, sino que ha obviado enviándome otras cosas después.
Pero si tanto dices o crees que me quieres, ¿por qué me hiciste
tanto daño, tan infeliz, y me trataste mal, mientras estuve a tu alcance? Por
cada oportunidad de acercamiento que tuvimos después, tengo claro que seguiría
siendo igual. Y aunque me fui con heridas físicas, mentales, emocionales, y
espirituales (muchas de las cuales aún trato de sanar, otras aún me sorprenden
a veces, otras todavía actúan desde un plano inconsciente, y algunas que curé
duelen igual), por fortuna no dañaron la esencia de mi naturaleza, que se
mantuvo sana por ser muy como es contra viento y marea... y a partir de la cual
regenero a lo largo de mi camino de vida.
De nada por la traducción.
"Beloved"
"Beloved"
Title: Beloved
Soul Whisper: “Beloved” is a reminder of the importance of self-love. As I worked on her I thought about all the ways in which I had worked to become the best partner and mother I could be. It was a promise I had made as I stepped into each of these phases in my life. I had never made that promise or commitment to myself. Beloved’s message is to honor, respect, and cherish your Self. She reminds you to become your own "beloved".
The string tied around her hands symbolizes that she is complete unto herself. The key reminds her that she is the keeper of the gate...she is the only one that can open her heart to the “Beloved”.
This sweet one will be presented in the Handmade Holiday Event Part 2. Comment below for a tag or invite

Samanta Vega Díaz Dear Jennifer Albin, I have a problem of translation, so I'd better ask the maker <3 ... she is the only one that can open her heart to the “Beloved”. What did u mean, to the beloved-she or her beloved?
#lovers #devotion
Hoy leí lo que escribía Centehua ayer. No sabía que existía esa clase de amor, el amor verdadero, amalgamada en la experiencia de su vida en la tierra. Me alegro muchísimo. Y hablaba de las llamas donde los amantes se consumen una y otra vez por devoción a lo largo de los años de una historia de amor puro y verdadero, que les hacen más fuertes, resilientes, reales, fértiles, y receptivos a la verdad, hasta que recuerden quiénes son en sus formas arquetípicas y sus fuerzas elementales. Morir infinitas veces, quemar su ego sobre el suelo una y otra vez, por la gloria de renacer junto a la persona amada.
I have looked for you my entire life, I have found you not because you fit the fairy tale description but because you are willing to share in transparency with a soft but assertive tone and because you know how to take in the uncomfortable feedback and touch your blind spots. You found me not because of my form or voice but because I am willing to change my stubborn ways, not out of codependency, but because I trust you and I desire to show up and become who I know I am meant to be. I am honored and grateful to purify our vision together, to see one another in our radiance without denying the darkness that makes us whole.
If you desire growth and magick, call in someone who will challenge you and help you dissolve your ego gently. I do not ask him to accept me exactly as I am for my cultural programming is dysfunctional and needs to die and be composted. I do not wish to hear his praises all the time, I desire the courage to listen to his wounds and taste the poison I have spewed. I am most grateful for the sacred mirror that is my beloved, a mirror with no filters, who reflects my beauty and also my demons, who asks me to step it up and who willingly lays his body upon the edge of my blade.
May we grow in the likeness of the ponderosa pines behind us who wear the patterns marked by fire beautifully. It is fire who make us stronger, resilient, real, fertile and receptive to the truth. May the flames of devotion consume us over and over again until we remember who we are in our archetypal forms and in our earthly elemental forces. I will die infinite deaths, I will burn my ego to the ground again and again, for the glory to awaken anew with you my love, with you. For infinite lifetimes and life forms with you.

Craft the life you crave
Tengo mil cosas que hacer este año, entre acumuladas,
pospuestas, pendientes, y las que tocan. Así que he decidido ir una tras
otra, como mis hamburguesas felices del molino que recuperaré. Aunque tengo la
sensación de que me supera, y de que no lo estoy todo lo bien que yo misma
pudiera en otro momento, no me dejo detener, porque sé que todo cuenta, y que
menos es nada. Igual como en la alfarería de pan, donde no hacía pan, sino que el pan cobraba forma bajo mis manos dedicadas, así con amor y paciencia trabajar a diario en la vida que anhelo.
My word: "manifestation"
My quote: "Craft the life you crave" (Carrie-Anne Moss, Fierce Grace Collective)
Como miguitas de pan,salen una a una del molino cantando... Son las hamburguesas felices

Y quiero ser escritora, traductora y artesana. Sharing stories, and helping to share stories. Sharing stories is empowering, and thus,
medicinal. 🌿

“El estrés es el resultado de la incongruencia en tu sistema
de valores.” Ésta es una frase de Simon Dolan que descubrí este año gracias a mi
amigo David Alonso y que se me quedó grabada a fuego,
porque me parece muy cierta. Cuando tus actos están alineados con tus valores,
te sientes bien contigo mismo, relajado y en paz con el mundo. Pero en el
momento que tus acciones van en contra de tu sistema de valores… empiezan los
problemas. Por eso, es fundamental que tengas claro qué es importante para ti y que te asegures de que lo que haces en tu día a
día es congruente con esas prioridades." - Vivir al Máximo
It's time, my darling girl
Will Frolic For Food
Happy new year! I spent NYE meditating, journaling, hanging with two of my girlfriends, making and eating delicious food, drinking red wine, laughing and reading tarot together. We were joking about how “New Years is a construct” — it’s funny because it’s true. We arbitrarily choose this day in the calendar year to collectively celebrate moving forward into the future (“we made it!”). Followed by a societally sanctioned period where we all try to “fix” ourselves — for this reason I’ve come to truly dislike the culture of resolution setting.
It’s one thing to work on setting new habits when it’s coming from a place of high self esteem and self love. Or because you’re on a path to self actualization and you’re furthering your practice. But as someone who once had an eating disorder and still struggles with self-worth, the world of wellness is like a Pandora’s box of triggers. Not to mention that 2018 is the year I became an omnivore because my health has been deteriorating — so now I can’t help but feel that so much of “wellness” generally is just a fashion fad, a cloaked ruse to tell me I’ll never be good enough, a marketing scheme, a gimmick, a ruse. Not all of it — but we’ve all seen the oft repeated iterations of “privileged wellness babe casually laughs off how much better she is than you whilst clutching and $30 mug of matcha and living in your dream house.”
Now I’m all for reflecting, setting intentions, journaling and getting clear on the life you want to create and inhabit. That’s one of my favorite things to do. And ya know as a yoga teacher I won’t lie, a good pair of yoga pants always feels like a great investment (I buy a few nice pairs every year). Materialism isn’t inherently evil. But please, my dear gentle beautiful friends, if you’re going to set resolutions or intentions don’t set them based around what you believe is imperfect or wrong about yourself. Don’t allow your goals to reaffirm even a shred of self-hatred. If you want to make big shifts in your life, work on loving the parts of yourself you believe are unloveable.
Work on nurturing your child self, giving her everything she needs to feel nourished, loved and free. Work on healing your family trauma. Heal your friendships. Listen to your spirit guides / the universe / god. Ask for help. Change habits that are masking pain (emotional eating, screen addiction, even exercise addiction). Sit with yourself. Learn to meditate and breathe well.
But most importantly, learn to love every fiber of your being. Authentically. And watch as your world transforms for the better.

Ode to my front right tooth... (and obviously before my electrohypersensitivity too). Be brave yo! Fear nothing, my darling girl.
Time to work on nurturing my child self, giving her everything she needs to feel nourished, loved and free.
Time to keep working on creating healthy boundaries. Especially as a HSP.
Time to create abundance along with an empowering quote and a word I can come back to to keep my head in check! like @zenasiren suggests. She shares her quote this month: “it seems impossible until it’s done.” Her word: “potential”. My word : "manifestation". I still have to find space to think about my quote.
Time to create my affirmations and afformations (“afformation” not affirmation!!!! Totally different!).
Time to ground, find my feet, and walk my fears.
Time to believe in my-self, trust my spirit guides / the universe / goddess, and share my gift / power / medicine.
Time to realign me with my purpose and potential.
Time to put all the subtle energy fields of the physical, emotional, mental and spiritual bodies back into the alignment that they need, and thus, to keep supporting my organism in its innate pursuit of harmony and wellbeing.
Time to keep healing from inside out, and to achieve full recovery from my autoimmune dis-ease.
