Oh how it pains me to see these marks; like the ocean, is bleeding…
Signs of the red tide, the toxic algal bloom that’s being worsened in frequency and intensity, by human pollution.
How it pains my heart; that I want to run from the ocean that has always cleansed my soul, and indeed this spot which has been sacred to me since I arrived here — the turtle sanctuary in Montezuma, a special place for my spirit.
When I smell the rancid reek of the waters, like rotting fish; I want to turn away. To stay far from the shores. Perhaps because I’m ashamed? Of myself and humanity… that we are failing…
Perhaps when I’m far, I can avoid facing the truth.
Yet the truth we must face. And with open arms, and a loving spirit, embrace all: shedding our fears, shedding our judgments. Those negative feelings simply worsen the situation by perpetuating a sense of hopelessness and despair, that will paralyse us, and prevent or delay the healing process…
Intention is everything. With love we can heal. But to love, means that we must stop. To see, to witness her. We must actually face the problems, not hide away. To love is to see all. Not to selectively witness beauty, then turn our backs on the wounds. The pain and the suffering.
And we must take action before it’s too late.
Every little act makes a difference…
“Oh I believe we can find a way; and I trust I will see the day
when the waters flow clean again; story of our planet, we write the end…”
What food products are we buying? Are we supporting industries that use products toxic to our planet (and ultimately, toxic to us?)
If all of us make a change, we can shift the market…
What products are we flushing down our drains? Beauty products, body products, cleaning products.
How do such products make us or our homes “clean”, when this comes at the expense of the pure blue of Mother Earth’s waters, I ask?
Here is also a petition you can sign to support bringing matters of the Red Tide recently affecting Costa Rica’s Pacific Coast, to the attention of the government. No matter where we are in the world… the pollution (and purification) of the planet’s waters affects us all.
And every prayer for Her counts, sending our Love, that the purity in our Hearts may support the purification of her waters.
I believe we can make a difference. We can heal our planet. The change starts today…
“mystic touch…
nestled in the womb
of a Shaman’s dream
opening portals
in the Night…”
This is an improvised jam from a stormy evening; wet-season jungle rains tumbling down. As I played, I could feel a deep sense of connection with the elements, with the Earth, and the power of alchemising emotions.
Also, a feeling of transcending temporary turbulence along the human journey of life; and delving into deeper appreciation of all that is eternal, and beyond the physical and material reality. And so my prayer is that, as individuals, as a community, and as a race here on Earth, we unite beyond our differences, to create harmony and a heavenly reality.
I also believe that to do this, we must turn deeply within: practice radical honesty with ourselves, gain awareness of our own shadows, wounds and triggers.
With discipline, forgiveness, and love, may we rebalance ourselves, that we may bring balance to the world.
🌍🙏✨
I wish you a beautiful weekend, a weekend of balance and harmony. I invite you to use the weekend to nourish yourself and set intentions for the week ahead. If you’d like some inspiration, here are a few little examples from my routine…
Wake up and make a fresh herbal tea (recently I’ve been enjoying hibiscus, ginger, sometimes also infused with cacao nibs!)
Creative Journalling – don’t think, just be, writing down anything that comes up. Normally I write abstract poetry, inspired from my just-waking-up, half-dream state.
Meditate on my balcony, followed by some gentle stretching and Qi Gong before breakfast.
Make a trip to my weekly Saturday farmers’ market to stock up with healthy food for the week (look at these greens…!) and cook up a nourishing lunch.
Take alone time for my own self-care in Nature (also, away from my phone!)
Take time to reflect on the previous week, as well as look toward the coming week, writing down my schedule and set intentions and goals. In writing out this schedule, devote time to self-care, social, and work.
Sometimes it feels like I blink – and another year passes by. It’s hard to believe my two-year anniversary of being unexpectedly locked down in Costa Rica has just come and gone. So, I decided to share a little of what I’ve been up to lately. For those who are only just getting to know me, I had been practising as a barrister for 18 months in London before I took a holiday to Costa Rica, and had my flight back cancelled when borders closed in response to the pandemic. You can read a little more about me and my journey (in particular as regards recovery from chronic illness) on my Bio page.
My first year of sabbatical leave was very much focussed on my own personal healing and development – working on the health of my mind, body and soul. My physical health was a particular priority for me, given the health issues I’d suffered in the past, and which catalysed me to take an extended break from the law in the first instance. As to that, I’m particularly grateful to my clerks and members of Chambers, who really supported me in finding a solution that worked for me once I opened up honestly about my struggles. It’s when you don’t have your health that you realise how much it means, and that without it we have nothing. So to anyone feeling run down, and struggling with health, my message to you is this. Please don’t hide: speak up, ask for the support you need, before it’s too late. Slow down a little, get to know your body, and listen to the warning signs…
I learned a lot about myself in that first year of leave. It was a very inward-focussed year, and I realised how we can get so caught up in external distractions, and spend so much time rushing around, that we can go through life actually hardly knowing who we are. Once I took the time to really tune in with myself, I found that I was reconnecting to passions I had as a child, and I started to see the world with fresh eyes and think in new ways – feeling a general sense of expansion.
This second year, now with a greater sense of who I am, and feeling of wholeness within my own heart and soul, my attention has turned outwards: what is it that I am here to offer to the world?
I am here to burst bubbles, as well as build bridges, between different ways of thinking and living… My work transcends particular spiritual beliefs, and ultimately comes back to a focus on love and empowerment, helping others to express fully and authentically, and discover their own teacher within.
It was just less than a year ago that I set off to study craniosacral therapy on Costa Rica’s Caribbean coast. It also marked a pivotal moment for me personally, as I embarked upon a journey to heal my (then-terrible) vision, holistically. When I left my home on 1 May 2021, I left my prescription lenses behind. Forcing myself to set my gaze forward and commit to this healing path. It all began with a book I read by Jacob Liberman “Take Off Your Glasses and See”, which I would highly recommend. Whether you have eyesight problems or not, I can pretty much guarantee it will shift your perception and enhance your “vision”, in the broader sense of the term. I have made a few sporadic blog posts about my vision-healing journey, which I intend to talk a lot more about in future.
Studying craniosacral therapy was a crucial moment for me in terms of laying sturdy foundations from which to build upwards, and bring together my various skills. I have acquired a lot of knowledge from my own personal healing journey – and want to be in service to others when it comes to health and wellbeing. So, I’ve been adding skills to my toolbox; learning about different healthcare options and systems of medicine. My long-term vision is to establish a healing sanctuary and community centre, a place to host events, workshops, and retreats, and provide community space for gatherings. My mission is to inspire healthy and harmonious living – with each other, and with nature. And I believe it all starts with our own health: if we are not taking care of ourselves, if our own physical body is not in harmony with itself, what example are we setting to others and to the world? And what can we truly give to others and to the world, if we are giving from depleted or leaking cups?
Leaving my health & wellbeing training and projects to the side for one moment, this year I also finished the edits of my novel Siege, for which I am currently seeking representation/publication. It is a fantasy novel about a war between two empires and the destruction of the planet Meridisia, laced with psychological, metaphysical and spiritual themes. The protagonist, Arian is a storyteller and psychic, who has been hiding under false names since birth for reasons even she does not know. When her city comes under siege, she unexpectedly finds herself leading the people into battle.
But all too soon, the troubles within her own heart cause Arian to manifest destructive realities. She is plagued by visions, and is sensitive to the suffering of other souls. When her brother is wounded and she is captured, Arian is finally forced to look her inner shadows in the eye. Will she succumb to the darkness, or learn to love even the enemy? Siege explores how, to end cycles of war and suffering, we must first confront the darkness within our own hearts – the true enemy that external barricades, such as fortress walls, cannot protect us from.
While my quest for a publisher is in process, I am working on a new book, “Calypso, The Pilgrimage: a Novel on Love, Sex, and Spirit”. It is a book about personal and spiritual growth, and the journey to find wholeness, harmonising the different facets of our soul and becoming our own greatest lover, healing the wounded inner child, and balancing the masculine and feminine energies within all of us. It draws from many of my own personal adventures through life, my healing journey, and spiritual experiences. It also comments on and exposes various “illusions” in both the physical/material, and the spiritual, world.
As someone who has dived deep into various “wellness scenes” around the world, I can tell you, there is a lot of woo woo around. There’s good woo woo, that will expand your horizons and catalyse some pretty epic personal growth; and there’s woo woo that’s frankly dangerous. I’ve encountered fake shamans and tantric teachers who are clearly preying on the weak and the vulnerable to fuel their own egos, material greed, and even lusty sex drive. It’s sad. And these people who are abusing their power-positions can give a bad reputation to ancient healing practices, that have the potential to be profoundly transformative. When I lived in London, I supported a venture (actually called Woo Woo) where we trialled and reviewed different wellbeing events, and I wrote a number of articles on their blog about my experiences.
There’s traps, pitfalls, illusions, in all walks of life. The “Western” and the “alternative”. So, having walked both paths, I see myself as here to burst bubbles, as well as build bridges, between different ways of thinking and living. To encourage you to question everything, and believe nothing, as you connect deeper with yourself and unlock your inner wisdom that will guide you through life – to make the best decisions for yourself, to take care of your own body and health, and to find your own sense of purpose and meaning. I believe that everyone is their own teacher, and while others can be a source of inspiration and support, ultimately it is our journey of reconnection to self that will empower and liberate us – offering us the feeling of true bliss and freedom in our lives. My work transcends particular spiritual beliefs, and ultimately comes back to love and empowerment, helping others to express fully and authentically, and discover their own teacher within. This is the focus of my set mentoring programme, as well as at the core of all the work that I do with others – from sharing my creative arts, to one-on-one healing sessions.
In this regard, I see myself as a bridge between different “realities”. I’ve lived diverse lives, from the city professional, to spending time in the Costa Rican jungle with one of the indigenous communities here, and learning from a teacher who works with shamanism and sacred cacao medicine.
Now a little about my daily life out here in Costa Rica. Well, it comes with all of its ups and downs; as life does anywhere. At the beginning of this year, after lots of time, money, and energy invested, I had a property deal fall through the day before closing. It took nearly a month for me to get my deposit back, during which time I heard many rumours that sent my insides turning. My trust and patience was tested to its absolute limit. Despite having a detailed Sales and Purchase Agreement in place (worked on extensively by myself), as those of us who work in the law know, the time and energy that can be spent on enforcement of a contract (not to mention the limited available remedies) is sometimes just really not worth pursuing a dispute. I preferred to release my attachment to that beautiful property, to surrender and let go, and turn my sights to new opportunities.
Day to day life out here is so varied and never gets boring. In some ways it is “simpler” than my life in London, in other ways more complex. Mostly, my days end up being pretty full simply with the practice of living. Taking time to be in ritual with the basics of life: cleaning the house, preparing food, watering the plants. Expanding deeper and deeper, into the present moment. Too often we get caught up in what’s next on our agenda. Yet the destination of life is death, and if we are always just racing through, we’ll have missed the beauty in the tiny details of each second.
I create a lot: and am increasingly sharing my music, poetry, and stories in public venues. Although I have memorised some “popular songs” that I’ve written, most of my gigs are improvised, allowing me to ebb and flow with the mood of a particular place, and adapt my messages depending on current topics and issues that are alive to me, my community, or even the world. Recently, the waters by my home have been suffering from a particularly bad “Red Tide – I speak a little about this issue in last week’s blog post and you can sign a petition if you want to support bringing these matters to the attention of the Costa Rican government. I’ll share some songs about this soon.
I have hosted personalised “retreat” experiences from my little home, pending the creation of the sanctuary and healing centre that I envisage. I believe in always taking action in the present, in order to manifest and create the future that we dream of: and for me that means doing what I can with the resources and space presently available to me. It was a pleasure hosting a friend from London, who works in sustainable architecture, at the beginning of this year – kicking off a new chapter for me, as I step out into the world and start to share with others the tools, therapies, and knowledge that I have gained along my own healing path.
This year I have also been delving deeper into work with sacred cacao medicine, led by my shamanic teacher. The deeper I go into this work, the more I am realising how for me, deeper connection with spirit means finding deeper connection and grounding with the real world here on earth. The higher we fly, the further we need to dig our roots deep: expansion is in both directions.
Exciting seeds are also being planted – with regard to collaborations with the indigenous communities out here in Costa Rica. A regular music venue for me is Indigena Café – a small batch chocolate making shop and eco-social business. The owner, my friend Gianni, buys his cacao directly from the indigenous people (from the Ngobe Community) and is working with them to support the establishment of a school that will keep the indigenous traditions alive. I will write more on this as things unfold, and how you may get involved and support if it is of interest. I made a visit down to the community last month – it was a beautiful and eye-opening experience.
Well, that’s a little summary for now! Stay tuned for more to come, keep loving and living in gratitude for each day, and take action to make your dreams come true…
I believe you can have it all. It’s a question of mindset, discipline, and having the courage to pursue your passions…
With love,
~ Cara
p.s. I have just created a channel on YouTube where I will share more of my music/poetry/storytelling videos… if you want to follow my creative work you can subscribe to that too!
If you want to support me, you can also donate through the link below or by buying me a coffee. I mostly work on donation basis, or exploring alternative ways of exchange for my services, as I do not believe in systems of fixed pricing. Economic models based on fixed pricing totally fail to take account of differing individual needs and circumstances, and are built upon arbitrary labels of what is valuable, that are inherently limited in what they can describe in monetary terms. Furthermore, by subscribing into such a model we simply perpetuate and support a system that has given rise to the class divides and separation our society suffers from. I will be writing much more on this topic soon, but for now you can read my poem “Economy of Love” which gives a sense of my beliefs.
I also believe that health & wellness is a universal human right and want to always ensure accessibility of my services to all. Even by suggesting a price for exchange can bring expectations and connotations along with it that can make those who cannot afford the suggested price feel inferior, or put them off from opening up and discussing what they might be able to offer, from a non-material perspective. Wealth is so much more than money, and I believe it’s time to shift our perceptions around material abundance, reflect deeper on what it is that we really need, and the different ways that we can give to one another.
Thank you so much for reading, and I hope you have a beautiful weekend!
And may those cleansing waters
of life, wash us
free from our fears -
and as those pouring rains
fall upon the earth
purge its pains
banish sickness from the heart
as we learn to let go
release, surrender
our egos, and the beliefs
that have trapped us for too long
and kept us apart -
the time is here,
to remember our wholeness
and unity beyond the labels
separation, no more
may we stand together
in integration
of All
united at last
as One
The “Water Song” in this video came to me one day at the river. For those who don’t speak Spanish, I sing three verses; one for the river, one for the ocean, and one for the rains. The theme is cleansing and purification, as we connect to the water in its different forms.
I then go on to talk about “integration”. For me, this is the purpose of my spiritual path. To connect deeper with everyone and everything around me – no matter our superficial differences at the surface. That’s one of the reasons why I’m enjoying, increasingly, to play my music in different venues. To mingle with people from different backgrounds, cultures, and viewpoints. To feel different energies. To appreciate and to witness all that is part of this melting pot – of existence.
I’ve also just been reflecting on the nature of water – how it can change form, from flowing streams to the ocean, evaporating into the sky, falling as rain in another land, freezing and becoming ice that will later melt and flow back to the sea. Appearing differently, but in the end, the same.
Is this not the case with all elements? And we, ourselves, in our own bodies… are mostly water.
On the topic of water, I’d also just like to mention an environmental issue that’s been on my mind and heart lately. Here on the Nicoya Peninsula, Costa Rica, where I call home, we have been experiencing what’s known as a “ride tide” for months this year. It’s an algal bloom, but its occurrence is becoming more frequent, and is being grossly exacerbated by human impact from pollution. It can be quite dangerous for marine life and humans alike – causing respiratory diseases, infection, skin irritation, nausea… the smell emitted is also a neurotoxin, causing headaches and dizziness.
You can read more about the issue, and sign a petition on Change.org to bring matters regarding human influence on red tides, to the attention of the Costa Rican government (scroll down on the page for the English version).
Let us protect the waters of this planet… the waters that are an integral part of our own selves. For we are one.
Thank you so much for your support, and I wish you a beautiful day.
The more we learn how to find wholeness within ourselves, and the more we learn how to hold ourselves, the more we will feel held, loved, and supported… for there is a Universe within our hearts, and through our hearts we may connect to the eternal and the immortal, undying energy of the force that created existence itself…
I hope you have a beautiful weekend, and I leave you with a clip of a performance of my love song “Held From Above” – about connection to deep, eternal love, that transcends the physical, and is beyond the transient ebb and flow of all that is temporary in this human existence.
One of my mantras these days is that: we don’t fall in love, or out of love. Rather, love is a state of being, a state of living, and seeing the world. When we embody love, we will feel love, the love that is all around, in its pure and eternal form.
The more integrated and whole we become within ourselves, the more we may embody that state of “BEing” love. And so, below I share a poetic prayer for the Integration of the Soul: for the rebirthing of Inner and Outer Worlds.
For those interested, I also channel personalised guided meditations & prayers to support you on your individual healing journey.
Embrace the energies of the Child,
pure and sweet
loving innocence of play
to welcome the dawning of the day
with that fierce remembrance
of who we are — not just who
we are here to become —
but all we are and shall ever become
encompassed by the
immortal present.
Embrace the energies of the Mother
gentle but firm
She who knows, a special kind of Love —
the love of self-sacrifice
her own body a vessel for birth
with all the pains of such a process.
For beloveds, we are preparing to birth
a new world.
And we must give ourselves,
in devotional opening
that the divine may
channel through.
Embrace the energies of the Father,
protective and wise
for as we welcome in this new creation
we must guard against
those old-world illusions;
we must nourish those sacred seeds
free from influence;
we must build the sanctuary,
fortress walls not just outer
but inner —
the vulnerable internal world
that must adhere to discipline and
focus,
to prevent the manifestation
of egotistical sickness
that would just re-introduce
humanity’s plagues, in
more evolved and resilient forms.
Plunge deeper into the Work.
Question everything.
Believe nothing.
The chains shackling our minds are falling away, and as they do, it is our job to connect ever deeper with the unconditional love of the Heart, that our minds may be reconstituted, Whole, and ready to accept and to comprehend the radiant waves of bliss.
That are coming.
If we make the choice; to give, that we may receive.
With Love
~ Cara

Adrenaline shot
calms me down
paradoxical mess
gives a rest
to this racing heart
flowing winds
the time has come
to Be, through it all
sweet calm
centre of the storm
realities converge
in the upside down
of fallen kingdoms
ancient race
unwinding, unwinding
through time and space.
See the connections
revealing fruits,
of the sacred labour
on birthing trees.
Channels, opened
doors through the night
from darkness we are ready
to emerge,
the Light.

Yesterday, I was down at the Montezuma farmer’s market; a racing, bustling melting pot of energies; locals and tourists alike all pouncing on the baskets, overflowing with the abundant fresh produce of these tropical soils.
I spot a dear friend of mine, gracefully loading a cardboard box with apples. The small, sweet ones, that I grate into my spiced ginger and fennel-seed oatmeal, as a treat, when I’m calling for the flavours of European orchards to be muddled into my jungle home.
I say a dear friend, but we’ve only really met three times; when she’s come to watch me play music at Indigena Café. The last time she was there, she gifted me a beautiful skirt and blouse (I don’t often buy clothes, so a new outfit, particularly given I’m out performing a lot these days, was much appreciated).
And she told me to ask spirit for the way forward with publishing my book. She is a writer, and she has no telephone. We’ve exchanged emails, but somehow there’s been no need for the written or the verbal; mere telepathic glimpses into each other’s lives and the soothing sensations that spark every time we hug, are sufficient. They tell stories, of other places, and other worlds, and the language beyond words.
We hug, a long deep embrace, in the centre of that bustling market space, and for seconds that seem like hours I’m oblivious to the wild currents of that sea of people, of the need to race for my greens before they’re taken, of the weight of the bags slung over my shoulders, food for the family.
Peace and stillness manifests within, and you know, it’s always there. Sometimes, it’s just nice to be reminded of that, by pure loving souls, who you feel are truly whole; there’s nothing in their touch that claws at your energy, there’s just the energy of unconditional giving. We communicate so much through unspoken contact. Flesh on flesh. Cells colliding. So let’s be mindful of how we touch.
And remember, peace and stillness is always within. It manifests when we connect with our wholeness, total presence in the moment, the eternal moment which encompasses all and contains all we need.
And that presence and wholeness is something to cultivate in our everyday lives. Each moment. In seemingly mundane tasks of arranging the home, doing the laundry, watering the plants; in the chaos of busy places, when we think we’re in a rush, but actually, that’s just our mind’s perception of time. The soul moves at the perfect pace.
The more we live in ritual appreciation of each second, the more our lives become a living, breathing, dynamic meditation, that brings us closer to a sense of oneness, and connection with the infinite whole.
Stillness through the chaos.
Connecting with spirit is not about doing countless medicine ceremonies; and our level of spiritual development is not measured by how still we can sit in meditation in a perfectly calm space with the blissful scent of incense cleansing our minds.
Sweet gentle waters
of the river,
calling
for perfect flow
and sweet surrender
yet always a commitment,
steady and true
to find Her way
to the Sea
Is a person or a situation causing you difficulty because it is misaligned?
Or is it because you are in fact being faced with your own shadows, screaming for attention, craving to be resolved? Shadows that, in truth, you are afraid to look at.
Sometimes we need to look at those shadows, in order to become more luminous: to use the words of my teacher.
The plethora of people to connect with, relationship options, career opportunities, and endless possibilities of things to do and to pursue here in this physical reality present the temptation to just jump onto the next thing when challenges come up: all in the name of “going with the flow”, “following the heart”, and the “path of greatest alignment”.
But let me tell you, that what’s most in alignment will not always come easy. Success doesn’t just happen overnight. Dreams aren’t manifested out of thin air. I had developed (and taken a sabbatical from!) my own legal practice at age 26 because I worked tirelessly throughout school and university – sitting my first scholarship exams at age 10, taking advanced subjects well ahead of my years, and putting in countless disciplined hours of work and dedication. My career skyrocketed when I started, because I learnt how to be in devotional service to my clients, constantly strive for excellence, expanding my knowledge, and also developing ever greater focus and discipline – not just in my work, but in my personal life, which included developing a regimented meditation and yoga routine even in my busiest moments, to take care of myself so that I could offer my best self to my work.
All that got me to where I am today – with a solid foundation upon which to grow and develop new projects, pursuing my deepest passions.
So my message for the day is this: to truly build a stable foundation in this life – both in terms of creating your stable inner world, as well as the external physical reality around – requires time, commitment, and dedication.
Challenges will come up to test you, and your true commitment to your path. To give you the opportunity to go deeper into yourself, building your inner strength, and fortifying your core; that you may become more whole within yourself – thereby giving yourself more fully, more devotionally, to your mission here on this world..
Those who run away from challenge, always choosing the path of least resistance but never learning how to ride the wild rapids, will not develop the deep sturdy roots enabling for true growth up to the sky. For we need strong foundations, in order to soar to the Heavens above.
It’s one thing to be able to “go with the flow” in the sense of being flexible and adaptable when difficult situations come up, to find creative solutions, let go of attachment to what we think we may want, and have our hearts open to guidance for how to better achieve our overall objective. The detail may differ, the physical may shift and change, though the dream remains the same…
That’s quite different to running away. Running away from commitment.
Because deep down, that’s what many of us fear: in all aspects of our lives, from true commitment to ourselves and our personal growth, commitment in relationship, or commitment to our life’s work.
But commitment is so important. It is commitment that will bring us Home.
And so I send love and strength for the journey. If I can offer my support, please reach out.
Spirit calls us to rise; release the tears, let go the fears… 🌙
for we are here to alchemise
lies to truth
hate to love
and shadows, to light, above...
This song was born, the day after a particularly difficult and sleepless night – I’d received news that brought one aspect of my reality, crumbling to pieces…
I’d felt tired all day, and picked up my guitar to energise and motivate myself to go down to play at the Tuesday night Songwriter’s night in town, that I regularly go to. As I was strumming a new tune, these words flowed out of me. I pressed the record button on my phone to capture them: as I do when I feel a new song is about to be created….
And I went down to play that night, full of energy, feeling expansive and reborn out of the ashes, ready to share magic with the world.
I want to remind you that every emotion, and every situation, may be alchemised. You have the power to shift your mindset, to shift your vibration, and choose the reality you want to create. Be mindful – where do you place your energy? Be aware of your thoughts, your actions, the people you surround yourself with. Do you allow yourself to get caught up in racing negative thought patterns? Do you allow yourself to be distracted from taking action on the things that matter to you… by procrastinating, scrolling, on instagram? How about the people you give your energy to? Healthy relationships should involve a balanced flow of giving and receiving – not be one sided and draining.
Now today is the Spring equinox. Every day, every sunrise, can be a golden moment to set new intentions, set your mindset for the day, and give thanks to the beautiful things that are present in your life right here and right now…
But today especially, I invite you to take some inward time for yourself. Time to reflect, journal, and set intentions – about where to put your energy in these coming months. Which seeds within you do you want to water, nurture, grow?
That we may rise together and blossom into the tall, sturdy, strong trees that we are. Reaching ever higher to the sky, with our grounded roots in the earth.
With love
💛
~ Cara
p.s. this song may just become a duet, watch this space. And very proud of this special soul Alex Flett of the Sun Dragon One Man Band, releasing his first album today.
If we want to make a true difference in the world, it begins with the actions that we take in each day, in each moment.
The intention with which we breathe; for that very air we inhale, then exhale, is the air that travels through the atmosphere of this Earth, connecting and affecting us all.
The presence with which we move in our bodies; for our bodies are a blueprint, fractal emblem blooming, of the world and all its aspects, and the Universe itself; like reflexology points, mapping out the greater ecosystem.
Wake from your dreams, with conscious breath, and gratitude for this life.
Light a candle with the dawn, to transition from the shadow of night to the luminosity of day, with easeful harmony and grace.
Say a prayer for your loved ones, and give thanks to their gifts; how their unique, authentic, genuine selves are all a perfect expression of a greater whole, accepting them exactly as they are.
And love, and give, and love, and give; with respect for your energetic boundaries, respect for your own authentic expression and needs.
But knowing, that when we are being truly authentic, at our deepest core, we are Love and we are connected, to the shining brilliance of Source, and Source will provide us all we need, so that we flow selflessly in service to the Whole.
Open that door, into the realms of the heart: where lays a clue, in the Light of the Child, ready to emerge from the Night…
I hope you enjoy the soft sounds of this musical poetic meditation: close your eyes, breathe in deep, and surrender to a journey down the corridors of your heart, to find the child of light inside. I am grateful to Nicole Treadaway for this beautiful co-creation with her channelled sounds and graceful playing of the monochord; and to Gianni of Indigena Cafe for providing this magical space for me to share my stories and poetry.
I wish you a beautiful weekend and I send my support in always finding calm, peace, and love, no matter what is swirling around: to be the still point in the centre of the storm.
