Forgiveness

Why forgive?
To release yourself from suffering
To free yourself from the grip of a person/situation 

How to forgive?
Tell yourself that you did the best you could in a situation 
Acknowledge that the other person has shortcomings, and is human, too
Accept the situation how it is, and retain the lessons

Whom to forgive?
In any case, forgive yourself, first, for allowing such situations in your life
Forgive other people by acknowledging their humanity

Recovery:
Set boundaries by telling other people what is no longer acceptable to you, and be firm on those
Raise your standards by not indulging in what has once hurt you

Meditation

Image
 I have been asked why and how to meditate, hence I've put this together, hoping it will be helpful. For a long time meditation was seen as a mystical practice, it brought to us the image of monks or mystics with eyes closed, sitting in the forest, away from civilisation. Recently, we have been flooded by information on different types of meditation, hand gestures or sitting positions, which does not simplify the practice. At its simplest, meditation is a practice to help us connect to ourselves. It allows us to sit in contemplation, either of our thoughts, or of an object. Contemplating our thoughts is simply the act of watching them, without engaging in them. Think of it as being on a highway and watching the traffic go by, instead of getting in a vehicle and go somewhere. Contemplating an object, such as a candle or the moon, or water, is to simply detach from our thoughts and focus on something pleasant. The idea is to minimise the mental chatter. Meditating to connect to ...

Full Moon Practices

Image
 Full Moon tonight! Some simple practices to make good use of that energy: ☆ Meditate - sit comfortably or lie down, and imagine your body being filled with moon light, and you becoming as radiant as the moon ☆ Release - perfect time to cut cords with situations/individuals that no longer align with our highest purpose Release stale emotions by crying, or through creative actions ☆ Recharge - spend some time under the moonshine, and allow it to balance your emotions, creativity and feminine energy (men and women all have masculine and feminine energy) ☆ Cleanse your space - tidy up any mess, open windows and doors to let air and energy move. Cleanse energy with sound (chanting or instruments) or smoke (incense, burn herbs such as sage, rosemary, lavender) ☆ Gratitude - uplift your vibration by making a list of all things you are grateful for, and read them to the moon to amplify all your blessings! Hope those practices serve you well. With grace, D 🙏💛

Magic of Salt Water

  The picture below was taken as in a few words it summarises my feel good factors! Growing up on an island, I have been surrounded and soothed by sea water. Ever since I could remember, the vastness of the sea was my comfort zone, the place I felt safe, the place I felt like home. Whether just by sitting on its shore and listening to waves, or diving deep, the crisp saltiness of the water has remedied so many aches and cleaned so many wounds. The sea, like a loving mother, always welcomed me with arms wide open, sharing the immensity  of her being with me. As I dived deeper within myself, I discovered the wonders of other types of salt water. I grew up believing crying to be dramatic. There came moments, where faced with myself, I had no other options than to open up my heart, and let the salt water throw through me, spilling from my eyes. Just like the sea, it cleansed me, provided me with relief, and rocked me to calmness. Just like the sea, they came as waves, crashing ove...
