“We’re all in process” Maya Angelou

Disillusionment~ Nothing can break our Hearts and wake us up at the same time quite like disillusionment

and disillusionment it did…

… this is one of those deeply transformative and shattering Eclipse seasons

This full Moon & Lunar Eclipse in Pisces marks a culmination of past karma and a shift toward a new direction…

Change it will, Change is here, and Change it must

Im Seeing clearer and have a deeper understanding, into my levels of self abandonment- this cannot remain the same…cycles have reached completion, ripened, expiration dates did arrive…

the journey back to Self, the journey from accumulation to embodiment🌸🌱

Its time to come out of hiding✨

The past years, specifically from 2022 has been a wild ride in discovering myself through another, through love. The plot-twist is that I am the love of my life and I am the one I have been looking for.

A lot died in this season. Patterns, coping & protection mechanisms, old beliefs, and old ‘wounded’ wiring stored within my body cells & nervous system. Where hiding felt safe cause showing up authentic and true in a world that has crusified my Being many lifetimes was a dangerous act~ showing up fully as my Self was unsafe so my body told me, long after safety already returned. Where I’ve found myself being trapped into Self sabotaging patterns for Aeons resulting in survival modes as the body goes into freeze, numbing, paralyzing notions to protect the danger that my inner child was trying to protect me from.
I discovered protection is not needed anymore. I have done the deep inner work to be able to hold myself fully in how ever my truest Self is being met in the outer world.

Its time to come out of hiding🤍✨but bare with me all as I come out of hiding…slow & steady

You read and hear a lot about “self-love”, but are we actually able to embody it? True self-love means saying no when something doesn’t feel right. It means choosing yourself even when it disappoints others, even when it feels uncomfortable, even when the old version of you would have settled. Real self-love isn’t soft or sweet… it’s honest. It asks you to hold your own boundaries, trust your intuition, and stop abandoning yourself for the sake of being understood, seen and loved.

Through loving ourselves, we set the vibrational field around us, and that energy shapes the relationships in our lives. When we choose ourselves, we naturally attract people who can meet us at that level, people who recognize our boundaries, honor our pace, and understand our depth.

From a young age, we subconsciously learn that love exists outside of us, that it’s something we receive through other people. But love has always come from within, God. It’s an inner current, not an external reward, and the moment we realize that, everything about how we relate begins to shift. by @shariashley

Let me reintroduce myself

Im a multi dimensional layered Being. Spirit and of the Earth, moving from moment to moment, led from the heart.

Accumulated and developed skills along this humanly journey. This is me currently

I AM
an interdisciplinary artist
meaning a dancer/singer/musician, performer in dance, music & ritual, painter, model & actrice (yes I still dance and perform)
a bachelor graduate in performing arts
a kundalini reiki master
a vipassana meditation master (Buddhism and Dhamma, is teaching of the Buddha)
an astrologer
a philosopher
a writer
a coder
a barista

The core silver lining that’s running through all of my endeavours is to create a greater focus on Love, in life. The journey back home to our Self. Being a bridge between the seen & unseen worlds, Spirit & Earth.

Going through the processes of experiencing all aspects of life, dark & light, constructive & deconstructive, growth & destruction, sorrow, suffering, pain, ignorance, attachments, joy, pleasure, happiness, elevation and expansion.
Understanding and seeing, coming face to face with oneself. And through this internal process of facing oneself bringing myself back to wholeness, which in turn gives me the ability of helping others back to wholeness.

I am an alchemist

We change the world by changing ourselves

We are in Eclipse season✨ with a Lunar Eclipse~full Moon in Pisces upcoming on 17-18/9/2024, the Nodes start entering their new axis point, shifting gradually into Virgo-Pisces. Great endings & beginnings are on our horizon

As we navigate the currents of revelations, sacred wisdom & change

A love note from me ✨

Allow yourself to get quiet
Come away from the noise of the world
And come home to yourself
Fall into the gravity of your own being
Sit at the seat of your own soul
Hold the parts of you that have been dying to be held by warm and loving arms
Meet your own gaze
Give attention to all the things that feeds your Spirit, colours your world and has you growing in love with being alive

Entering Virgo Season it feels aligned to touch on Nature’s core principles ‘the Elements’.

The elements make up all of nature, they are what this Universe is made of. The four elements—fire, earth, air, and water— are the fundamental components of the Universe, each carrying unique qualities and associated with various aspects of life and nature. We can also find the 4 elements as core principles in the constitution of our bodies. The elements live within us, around us and commune with us. In turn it’s for us to commune with them. Its relational. So open a dialogue with the elements and imagine meeting them, having a conversation with them. Let them know you are open to what they have to say.

There is great importance to grow and build your relationship with the elements of Nature for health, balance, meaning and deeper understanding, body, mind and spirit. Here are some ways that can be helpful to implement; attending to & connecting with each element in a practical way in your daily practice & routine.

Fire🔥- light a candle and let it burn fully till it runs out at its natural course. By adding a flame in your daily routine you’re honoring the element fire.

Earth🍃- having Crystals on & around you, plants in your space, wood sticks/wands, palo santo or wooden furniture in your environment or altar to ground and center yourself. Take a moment each day to be in communion with Nature by directly touching a tree, plants, flowers, grass or soil with your hands or feet.

Air🌬️- tune in and be with your Breathe. Burn incense or palo santo to connect with the element air. Use your voice, speak affirmations or humm your sound frequencies in the air.

Water💧- while you take a shower or bath be present and contemplate on the element water. How it’s touching your skin and visualize it cleansing your body, mind and Spirit. Feel how water rejuvenates, regenerates and purifies your energy as you rise into a new day or wine down at night.

1-1 sessions are open and online. Bring an open mind, your full commitment to and trust in the process. Link in bio ✨ by @shariashley

Honor and respect all Beings & things as they are made by Creation. All holds Divineness in its core. An invitation to look for and See the Divine in everything ✨

Foster Self-discipline, attune Thyself to the Energetic emerging forces, and cosmic alignment will follow.

I am moved by Love. I speak with Love. I make decisions based only on Love🤍🙏🏽✨ taken in Earth by @shariashley

Happy Equinox 🍂
Entering a New, starting a new cycle of descending, waning, letting go of all that is no longer serving and moving duality into Balance 🪐

I would like to Invite you to set an intention entering this Cycle, planting a seed 🌱
~ I intend to let Go and let all the New that is for my Highest good Grow ~

Welcoming the unknown, changes and endless possibilities with an Open mind and Open heart.

Let the life force Energy of the Universe flow through you, the forces of unconditional Love & Grace and let it expend outwardly, all the way to the edges of the Universe and all the way to the center of the Earth.

Grounding your body & mind, Be in Divine Union and expend your Unique light pattern my Beloved.
When you recognize the Beloved in another, you call forth their and Your own Highest and purest Nature💫 by @shariashley
