Gaia.com is the new-age/ spiritual version of Netflix.
And since I spend so much time watching films/ videos, I’ve subscribed to it.
People are often surprised that an academically accomplished person like myself (with four degrees) is also spiritual.
In fact, I used to hide my spiritual side for fear of preventing clients who need help to seek my support.
In reality, it is when our professional and personal lives meet and is congruent that we are at harmony, and performing at an optimal level.
We need to give ourselves permission to be ourselves, to be free, to be brave… and to be real.
I always believe that in being real, I support others to be brave and to also be real.
Lots of that in my third book From Princess to Queen.
It’s been two weeks since my subscription to Gaia and these are my new revelations on love
(and maybe not so new to you):
- “Energy blocks” can happen in our bodies due to suppressed/ stuck emotions. Over time, they can lead to dis-ease.
- These same “blocks” can cause our little heart flutter to come out as something different to other people repealing them. Mindfulness and healing ourselves can help.
- Instead of thinking we need to constantly “work” on ourselves so as to be happy, we need to be happy as is, “being” ourselves, and viewing ourselves as whole and complete as we are.
- We shouldn’t wait to “work” on ourselves or be spiritual to be nice. We need to be nice now. Niceness is love.
- When we help others, we help ourselves. We should be nice, love, help in spite of the possibility of getting nothing out of it… because when we say no, we close ourselves. And we are actually hurting ourselves!
- There will always be people who will judge/ project/ be bad to us – it’s their own stuff. Instead of shutting down, “take it all” and really die to self. It is when we do so and transcend it that we can attain our internal ecstasy.
I’m not sure if you understand it all, but ‘m not inclined to explain further.
Do meditate on it this festive season. It’s profound stuff and it speaks to me as… truth!
Even if you don’t understand, the bottomline is be nice (and I say this to myself too!).
Don’t leave your life in shackles.
