What Is Perfection?

Perfection is loving every aspect of self in a balanced light through unconditional eyes, no matter what. Perfection is the opportunity to see yourself and others as they already are, for what they are and not as you want yourself or them to be. Perfection is forgiveness: Allowing yourself to understand the value in all of your life experiences and upon reflection, deepen your wisdom. Perfection is embracing what a glossy magazine deems to be faulty. I love my eye lines. I don’t need to get rid of them. Perfection is walking around the house with no make-up, greasy hair, ugg boots and in a tracksuit because you’re already amazingly beautiful inside your own skin, and you don't require externals to prove it. Perfection is recognising others strengths and weaknesses, and celebrating, not condemning both. Perfection is being open to growth and personal development, not trying to control every aspect of life’s journey. Perfection is giving yourself space to be angry, sad, frustrated or being able to make “mistakes”, but giving yourself greater room for love, healing, stillness, peace and forgiveness. Perfection is love and self acceptance. It’s about letting go. It’s about being able to look yourself in the mirror at any stage, of any age and saying “I love you. You’re perfect to me”. 

Faith.

What’s the point in not having faith? What else are you going to have? Sometimes we lose perspective of the faith we’re capable of having and that’s okay. But faith in its grand meaning encourages us to be still and to trust ourselves, to trust our intuition. To listen to the quiet voice inside with love. Our heart and soul always knows best. 

Breathe.

Every morning and every night, I lay in bed or sit quietly in my room and just breathe. I listen to my breath. And when I do, I hear 101 stories. Stories from my head. Stories from my heart and the dreams of my soul. The breath creates pathways into the imagination. It creates opportunity to design a life, future and moment unique unto itself. The breath saves me from disconnect. In my breath I find peace, love and gratitude. To find happiness, all I have to do is remember to breathe a slow breath. 

Not All Those Who Wander Are Lost.

Not all those that wander are lost. I choose to be free. I choose to not know. I choose to let go. I choose spontaneity. I choose intuition and inner guidance. I choose change and different perspective. I want to see it all through your eyes. I want to get lost, just so I can be found again. If not by me, then maybe by you. The joy in life is to explore, experience and relax. The joy comes from anticipation and an unexpected outcome. Love the journey of life. Wander. Allow yourself to get lost. Often. 

Still Learning How to Fly.

Sometimes I feel like I’m flying. Other times I feel as though I’m still learning to pick my feet up off the ground. Our wings need to be exercised in different ways, at different times. I’m always learning. Growing. I’m still learning how to fly. 

Apricot Bum.

I wish I had a cute apricot bum, just like you. 

Your Inner Child. Your Intuition.

The inner child is our emotional body; our intuition and God. We are always connected. But are we conscious of what this means? Are we driving forward in our lives with control and setting our own self driven agenda, or are we being a “good parent” to ourselves; listening, negotiating, comforting and setting boundaries?

Being a good parent means meeting all seven of the inner child’s needs (security, boundaries, sleep, love, acceptance, approval and fun). It’s important to live from a level of mature consciousness and not childlike emotion, as boundary and decision making still needs to be informed by your own adult. Accessing the inner child is done intuitively.

The intuitive connection is a conversation we are either having consciously or unconsciously. The more we choose to hear, feel and listen consciously, the easier it becomes to sustain that connection. Guided meditation is a great way to start, allowing yourself to be led by someone else, so that the other can let go of the “thinking” mind and dissolve into the facilitators voice. Choose to listen to your inner child. You never know what you might hear. 

Letter To A Friend.

Hi darling,

I hope you've arrived safely and the trip is going well.

In response to your Monday night musings... 

We all experience things in life to different intensities at different times in order to awaken our spirit and soul journey. Don't ask me why. We'll never truly know. But what this requires from us as human beings, is to truly embark upon a journey of healing...at all times. To heal, this requires letting go, acceptance, patience and gratitude for the things we do have and the blessings we have had, at all times. But to understand how to let go and accept in the first place is often a big journey within itself. The bottom line is, being human means living in pain. But we can only strive to reduce the pain by actively healing and treating ourselves with love. To do this, we need to start partaking in "things", "exercises", "awakenings", "healing’s" to get there. That's why the world is full of various mind, body, soul, spiritual healers that can aid and assist the rest of us on this journey. And the truth is, we’re all our own spiritual healer. We have the power to make all the change we want and need. Have you started reading your "You Can Heal Your Life” Louise Hay book that I bought you? It's a gem. Please take the time to read it. I know that in theory, you understand all of this, but what also comes with your intellectual understanding is the resistance to let go, because in your own mind, you feel you already "get it all". However, like I said, the pain won't dissipate until we put love and energy into its dismissal. It just won't. We are both "thinking" people. This also means that often we're "fear based" reactive people too. Your journey is to heal your perception, understanding of men; forgive yourself, accept all that has been done and what hasn't been / wasn't. Your journey is to find love again for yourself and in turn men. To see them as people, human beings and not just "men" who essentially all "fail you". As I've said you in the past. YOU MUST FOCUS ON YOU first before you will get any shifting externally. IF YOU DON'T GO WITHIN YOU GO WITHOUT - one of my favourite sayings. Life is simply a journey - an ongoing one. It's a game of snakes and ladders. Sometimes we're climbing and many other times we fall. You just have to keep on the SPIRITUAL journey otherwise life’s pain will continue to get the better of you. TAKE ACTION FOR YOU. FOR YOUR LIFE. FOR YOUR FUTURE. FOR YOUR HAPPINESS. Don't just try and "rationalise", "control" and "resolve" in your head. It's your heart that needs to do the work. 

Love you and we'll chat again soon.

Hey Love.

Hey. I love me. And I love you.
