A woman

A woman is always going to be more energetically powerful than you. She's always going to be more emotionally powerful than you. And, she's more sexually powerful than you. Period. Forever.
She'll be a tornado sometimes.
She'll be a hurricane sometimes.
A flood. A fire. She's Nature herself.
You can run from that (and become lost).
You can try to control her (unsuccessfully).
You can be rigid about it (and be broken).
Or you can stand in your absolute masculine presence and do your best to serve her heart. There will be some times that you will distinctly see how you are serving her and the rest of the time... she will be trusting you - she will be growing in the trust of your depth.
You have a gift to give your woman - and she wants to receive it. Feel the truth of that.
Stay in the depth of your gift and your truth even while she is in the truth of her feminine nature. She will burn, flow, rain, shine, storm - and through all of it, she just wants to experience your presence.
The gift you receive is the opportunity to face death - death of Ego and a window to LIFE and PLEASURE and TRUTH... But ONLY - if you remain present."

~ David Deida ~

If you want to change the world… love a woman, just one woman .
Love and protect her as if she is the last holy vessel.
Love her through her fear of abandonment
which she has been holding for all of humanity.
No, the wound is not hers to heal alone.
No, she is not weak in her codependence.

If you want to change the world… love a woman
all the way through
until she believes you,
until her instincts, her visions, her voice, her art, her passion,
her wildness have returned to her-
until she is a force of love more powerful
than all the political media demons who seek to devalue and destroy her.

If you want to change the world,
lay down your causes, your guns and protest signs.
Lay down your inner war, your righteous anger
and love a woman…
beyond all of your striving for greatness,
beyond your tenacious quest for enlightenment.
The holy grail stands before you
if you would only take her in your arms
and let go of searching for something beyond this intimacy.

If you want to change the world…love a woman
to the depths of your shadow,
to the highest reaches of your Being,
back to the Garden where you first met her,
to the gateway of the rainbow realm
where you walk through together as Light as One,
to the point of no return,
to the ends and the beginning of a new Earth. ॐ

Concepts of 2015

Today I am gonna be a bit lazy, and not write anything of my own, but rather share some interesting concepts I have stumbled upon this/these last year/months/weeks:


"Everything changes when you start to emit your own frequency rather than absorbing the frequencies around you, when you start imprinting your intent on the universe rather than receiving an imprint from existence"
- anonymous

:-)

"To seek enlightenment is like jumping from one wave of experience to another in search of water"
- Ken Wilber


"We must have the stubborness to accept our gladness in the ruthless furnace of this world"
- Jack Gilbert


"We create our own patterns and we create our own reality. Life is not about experiences, or rushing from moment to moment, to know more and more; Experience is already in the mind. It is the response to challenge. This response is conditioned bye the past, by memory. Such response only strengthens the conditioning (of the mind)"


"All spirituality is about relieving suffering"


"The true crisis in our world is not social, political or economic. Our crisis is a crisis in consciousness. An inability to directly experience our true nature. An inability to recognize this nature in everyone, and in all things. We are far more connected than our minds can grasps, we are far more powerful than we can imagine" 
- Alan Watts


"With great power, comes great responsibility"


"Seek Unity, rather than seeking division or separation. And start believing that everyone and everything is connected"


And I want to finish with a word I have learnt to love, and it's meaning, which can be applied to a lot of situations but not always holds the same meaning. A pretty flexible yet powerful word:


Responsibility = Respons + ability
-> The ability to respond to situations in an appropriate way


Good night! :-)

Quest Physics

"In the end, I've come to believe in something I call The physics of the quest. A force in nature governed by laws as real as the force of gravity. The rule of Quest Physics goes something like this; 
If you're brave enough to leave behind everything familiar and comforting (which can be anything from your house to bitter old resentments), and set out on a truth-seeking journey (either externally or internally); And if you are truly willing to regard everything that happens to you on that journey as a clue; And if you accept everyone you meet along the way as a teacher; And if you are prepared, most of all, to face and forgive some very difficult realities about yourself; Then the truth will not be withheld from you. 
I can't help but believe it given my experience"

Conciousness

Dear Friends, brothers and sisters; 
The true crisis in our world is not social, political or economic. Our crisis is a crisis in consciousness. An inability to directly experience our true nature. An inability to recognize this nature in everyone, and in all things. We are far more connected than our minds can grasps, we are far more powerful than we can imagine. Take a moment to think about this, and really think about it. 
With great power comes great responsibility. 
Please cultivate your mind and act with your heart.
It is easy if you try.

Give your mind a break

Give your mind a break.
With everything that happens in life; All our ups and downs, All our expectations and all our disappointments, it is easy to lose our core, it is easy to lose our balance and difficult to keep our chakras cleansed, and no, the art of losing is not hard to master (forgive yourself for this, be kind to yourself, don't be too hard on yourself, don't guilt-trip yourself).

When you catch yourself worrying, or over-analyzing, or over-thinking things or situations, just: stop!
Give your mind a (well deserved) rest. Don't put yourself through that agony, be kind to yourself.

In a world full of intentions and energies and vibrations, it is easy to fall out of balance, don't be too hard on yourself.

Maybe you made a choice you knew at the time you shouldn't chose, but you did it anyway. Forgive yourself for this. You learnt something.
Maybe you lost respect for yourself. Again, the art of losing isn't hard to master. Forgive yourself for this.
Maybe you said Yes when you meant No, your better judgement froze in a state of fear, or anger, or whatever. I've done it many times (and keep stumbling upon that rock), it is not a disaster, forgive yourself for this.
Maybe you gave someone else the right to define you, or influence you. Once again, we live in a world full of intentions, energies and vibrations, it is difficult sometimes to protect yourself from some of the bad stuff when you aim to surrender yourself and your trust to the good stuff. Forgive yourself for this, you know in your heart who you are, tap into that. If you listen to your heart - you'll find home soon enough.

Whatever threw you off balance, don't guilt-trip yourself. Forgive yourself. Be kind and nurture yourself. You deserve that. You are on your way sister. You are on your way brother. You are doing good and you deserve good. Keep aiming, don't give up.

I want to encourage you to do a simple and very relaxing yoga pose called the childs pose. The philosophy behind it is to keep your heart (your chest) higher than your mind (your head), as to remind yourself to always follow your heart, and to not be ruled by our mind. Our minds are often over-active and especially in the western world civilizations. Our minds are good servants, but dangerous masters. Let yourself be guided by your heart.

And remember that: Our hearts are courageous, they can take anything. 

Sometimes life works in mysterious ways.
Sometimes ends are just beginnings.
Everybody deserves love and belonging.
It's not about the destination my friend, it's about the journey!

Everything will be Ok in the end. If it's not ok, it's not the end.
Keep hope.
Keep a positive mindset.
Keep happiness.
Keep trust.
Keep love.
Keep compassion.
Keep understanding.

Keep yourself. Cause you're always here. Somewhere, always around.
Whatever life throws at you, keep yourself.

Thank you.
Namaste.

Commitment

 Definition "Commitment"

kəˈmɪtm(ə)nt/

noun

noun: commitment

1.

the state or quality of being dedicated to a cause, activity, etc.

"the company's commitment to quality"

synonyms:

dedication, devotion, allegiance, loyalty, faithfulness, fidelity, bond,

I've been learning lately, through a series of incidents that have occurred, that I have been lying to myself. I have been lying to myself when I tell myself that I am responsible, and that quite consciously. The reason of why I've done that is because I want to be responsible, sort of a "Fake it until you make it" -action; Trying to manifest it (which I take no shame in because at the end of the day I am learning). And through telling myself that, I have realized that I am subconsciously accomplishing something I have been trying to accomplish for the past few years; STOP feeling sorry for myself. It might sound like not a big deal, but for someone who spent a big part of her childhood in that comfortable place of enjoying misery because I didn't have to be responsible (it was the easy way out), it is a big deal. Learning to not feel sorry for myself (which I still have to remind myself of) is the first step towards being responsible, because you acknowledge that nobody except yourself put you in this situation, and nobody except yourself will get you out of it. So get busy. Don't think about the problem, think about the solution. Something I have learned through this heavy pattern that I adopted in the past is that I AM the first victim of my thoughts, words and actions. I AM the first victim of putting my head in the sand, taking the easy way out, not dealing with things and feeling sorry for myself about it. It leads nowhere. And that's not where I want to go. 

I have been working on myself lately, working on this habit pattern and some others, and a few days ago I made a decision of committing to myself. Oscar Wilde once said "To love oneself is the beginning of a life-long romance", and so I made a decision. I made the decision of loving myself. I made a decision of committing to myself. I made a decision of never ever lose the connection to my inner self again. And I thought, very seriously indeed, that I wanted to marry myself. No joke. Think about it, who will you ever find that is more suitable for you than yourself? It's the person that knows you the best. If you learn how to forgive this person, and how to encourage this person, and how to think and talk well about this person, it will pay off a hundred times over and over again. You don't need anybody else in the world than this person (although that doesn't stop the fact that happiness and love is very very sweet when shared with others - indeed!).  

So I encourage you, to make this commitment to yourself. 

But you have to mean it! 

So if you mean it, repeat after me:

I, ____, take you, ____, to be my husband/wife, to commit to. To have and to hold, from this day forward, for better, for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health, I will love you and honour you all the days of my life until death do us part.

:)

Congratulations. 

Repeat after me: I am free

"Work and pace
For paper face
Spend it wisely
And keep it safe
Because the human race
Is a non-stop race
With too many trials
But no real case
Something about this second
Something about this hour
Take away the money
Then the time becomes the power
Something about this instance
Something about this minute
Striving for the future
But don't realize that we're in it
A moment just to float
A moment just to swim
And to shower and to sing
And to brighten and to dim
And to sleep and to wander in" :)

Highest destiny

Our highest destiny is not a job description. Of greater relevance is the integrity, honesty, humility, and courage with which you be you. The vast Earth, and every potential choice, is only here to help us make the journey.
At the end of the day, the search, like the path itself, is not external, it's internal.
So how do we prepare ourselves for that? It's simple; in every moment, make the highest choice. How you deal with what happens is more important than What happens.
The road to your highest destiny is already safely where it needs to be: right under your feet.

Responsibility = Harmony

I googled "responsibility"

Definition Responsibility:
the state or fact of being responsible, answerable,or accountable for something within one's power,control, or management.
reliability or dependability

Responsibility = Respons + ability
-> The ability to respond to situations in an appropriate way

I'd like to finnish this post with a quote:
"Happiness is when what you think, what you say and what you do are in harmony"
- Mahatma Ghandi

May all of you out there find your own truth; tap in to your inner voice; speak with integrity; think positive thoughts; act on hope and love, not on fear and hate; may all of you learn something every day of your lives; may all of you keep on trying; may all of you be grateful; may you be mindful; may you create and cultivate your minds. May you all be happy. May you all live in harmony.

SURRENDER - Note to self

Surrender Elsa! Don't challenge people.
I just realized this morning when I woke up that I subconciously challenge and test people around me very often. And I believe that might be the cause of why people don't always and necessarily want to be around me. It's not that they don't like me - It's just that they don't trust me (and quite frankly I understand that my behaviour can be exhausting) - and the most probable cause of that is that I, myself, have an issue trusting people and believing in their best intentions (I forgive myself for this because my experiences and choices of the past have helped shape that). I have not been able to surrender, or let go of old beliefs, and that has made me less approachable.
I have a massive fear of being rejected, but even bigger is my fear of  not be given a chance because I close myself up and I can't relax and be myself around people.
It happens very rarely (me being able to relax), but when it does enough times it usually leads to beautiful friendships (which I cherish with all my heart).
I want to take this time to reflect on this; that I want to stop challenging and testing people.
I want to trust more, love more and believe more in the worlds good vibes, in the good in people and in the good in their intentions.
I heard once a quote that says:

"None are more hopelessly enslaved than those who falsely believe that they are free"
- Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

...and I realize now that I have not been free, but I am on my way.

It is safe to surrender.

It is safe to trust.

It is safe to hope.

It is safe to believe.

It is safe to forgive.

It is safe to LOVE.

...and start with yourself. Love yourself as much and as often as you can. Dissmiss all negative thoughts about yourself and dissmiss your fears!

The more you give of yourself the more will come back to you. 

Surrender!

Don't play social games.

Speak with integrity.

Don't take things personal.

Laugh and love a lot.

Those who risk, win!

Much love! xx
