Sooner or later, there is a journey we’ll all make, if we are lucky. The journey from who we were to who we are yet to become.

I’ve been living in that space for a while.

So I took all of it and poured it into a 30-minute emotional, cinematic musical journey born from a period of transition, tenderness, grief, possibility and becoming.

Watch the full episode on YouTube or listen to it on SoundCloud. Link in bio.

Here we go! I’m excited to bring you a one-hour music and movement journey, curated by me and co-created with our beautiful community called Ｅ L E V A T E ˚ ❍

This immersion offers a glimpse of our explorations through dance, presence, and authentic expression, every Sunday.

It is more than just music. It is an invitation to move, feel, and elevate your state of being. Play it, dance with it, or simply let it wash over you.

📹 The full video is on YouTube now ~ link in bio.

⟡ May it guide you into belonging, joy, and inner orbit ⟡

If you are curious about the dance, it happens every Sunday morning. DM me if you want to step into the circle.

Is it just me, or does it feel like inspiration these days has become a bit too ephemeral and frictionless? By this I mean, it’s become too easy to move past.

Instead of being breathed into it or infused with it, we scroll past it, feeling a small hit of uplift, but nothing actually moves. It arrives instantly, requires almost nothing from us, and is gone just as quickly. It’s become so aesthetic, it almost feels like a genre now.

We don’t even have to sit with it for more than a fleeting moment, as it comes without the encounter that traditionally produces it anymore.

In my experience, real inspiration usually costs something to receive, because it asks you to recognise yourself in it. This sanitised version we are seeing today asks nothing of us. It is shareable, but feels hollow.

Instead I would argue that inspiration must come from contact with something real. Not necessarily only from feeling good or from overcoming something. But mainly from whatever makes us more available to ourselves.

And sometimes it must come simply from being able to feel the absolute realness of our circumstances, whether things feel easy or not.

For those who are moving through something life-altering, sometimes the earnestness of simply being in one piece can be good enough.

This here doesn’t require a lesson or a glow up.

Just contact. Real life contact. The kind that gives us a human experience.

When something real in another person reaches you without being cleaned up, interpreted, packaged, or turned into a lesson.

Being witnessed rather than being told.

Not “make me feel better,” but “see me where I am.”

And when we recognise ourselves in that, the inspiration that comes from it is just so damn tasty and long-lasting.

Here, we are being met deeply enough that we can meet ourselves differently.

Eventually, anything that brings us into deeper contact with ourselves is just going to be precious.

So perhaps inspiration isn’t something we need to consume more of. Perhaps we need more experiences that actually make us feel alive, connected and in contact with ourselves and each other. No? by @laaiiq

How did we come to normalise living out of alignment? I mean, just look at how our society thinks and behaves today. Always pushing in a certain direction, in a certain way. I wish we could just encourage ourselves a little more to think about who we really are.

We can run the race as much as we like, but somewhere deep inside there is still a certain sense of knowing that something’s incomplete. We feel it. By now, we have learnt to just ignore these feelings, learning to cope instead of trying to make sense of em.

I look around. Everything is geared towards coping, isn’t it? And we consider this “normal”.

All our entertainment, all our consumption, our productivity, our busyness, our achievement, our scrolling, our constant need to be doing something. So much of what we have built around ourselves has become a way of not having to feel what is actually happening inside us. And because almost everyone is doing some version of this, the coping has now become culture.

We have become extraordinarily competent at constructing a life that makes sense from the outside, while internally something is quietly saying, This isn’t it.

Some of us are more sensitive and cannot ignore these feelings. We start to feel what is happening inside us, and sometimes that can push us into an uncomfortable place. We may become anxious, restless, or deeply dissatisfied with the life we are living.

And sometimes something big may happen, something almost cataclysmic, that completely shatters the mold we have been living in.

And when the mold breaks, you are forced to feel it all.

You realise that underneath everything you were doing, underneath all the choices, all the plans, all the things you thought were important, there was something inside you that you weren’t feeling.

I wonder if learning how to feel, and stay with what we feel, is one of the biggest gifts we can give ourselves.

Of course, the road to feeling isn’t always going to be that simple. Sometimes we’ll meet confusion, a knot, or a restlessness we can’t explain. We are met with stories, conditioning, beliefs, trauma, and things we haven’t yet faced.

When that happens, I hope you can find ways to lean into it ♥️ by @laaiiq

Don’t we have a way of leaving traces wherever we gather? Some made of stone, some made of stories, and some may linger long after the last ember fades ♥️ by @laaiiq

There are many ways to experience dance, just as there are many ways to approach music on the dance floor.

What I’m most drawn to is the storytelling. I believe that just like every good story has an emotional arc, a dancefloor should too.

This flow can contain an entire cosmos. Curiosity, tension, playfulness, stillness, joy and celebration. Moments of intensity. Moments of integration.

For me, this is where everything comes alive. by @laaiiq

I feel blessed to have the trust and love of animals. No matter where I go they seem to find me. Here deep in the forest I often meet dogs who choose to stick around. With them nearby my nervous system finds it easier to relax, and yesterday, I managed to take a nap while this little buddy kept watch over me 🐾 taken in Bir, Himachal Pradesh, India by @laaiiq

I am learning to loosen my grip on what I like and what I don’t, to step beyond the borders of my own preferences, those invisible lines that quietly decide where I may wander.

And so the question really is…what is it that resonates with me right now? taken in Bir, Himachal Pradesh, India by @laaiiq
