WARM FUZZY FRIDAY - 'The Lady who Knows Whaddup' Edition

This post is dedicated to the juicy, delicious and soul driven ramblings of Ms Danielle Laporte. I fell in love with her prose when I worked my way through 'The Desire Map' a few months back. And then? I kind of dwindled. I lost my lust for good, careful and hearty words. Fast forward to a frenetic message sent to one of my spiritual gurus and girlfriend's that went a little something like this ...

"I'm craving to be stretched and pulled further. Personal growth a go-go. Any particular books you'd recommend?"

What did my girl come back to me with? Dani Laporte. In all her fiery glory. The Fire Starter Sessions. And I'm back in love.

So this post is for you Ms Laporte. Thank you for your words. And passion. And fire. And for adding fuel to mine.

SOULGASMS - Oh hells yes.

Found here

Have you ever experienced that ‘buzz’? It’s the only way to describe it. A jolt of pure, unfiltered, unadulterated, raw, ecstatic happiness and bliss?

Get yo’ minds out of the gutter if you’re wandered into nasty territory – because today I’m talking Soulgasms. What exactly is a soulgasm you might ask? It is that exact moment in which your entire being lights up, you feel unstoppable, your potential seems immeasurable and you are absolutely glowing!

A few years ago these soulgasms were, for me, as elusive as unicorns and they occurred few and far between. Now, I get my hit daily. Whether it’s during a soulful conversation with a friend, sipping on a cup of green tea, running in the bush with my ever growing puppy or working solo on a project – these soulgasms are the universe’s way of telling you that you are on the right track. These moments of pristine clarity, inspiration and elation are your birthright and you deserve to experience them every single dang day. Soulgasms are the result of complete alignment within your universe – they tell us that we are exactly where we are meant to be. Epiphanies, bursts of motivation and great ideas are all ‘foreplay’ for the great soulgasm that awaits. When we are aligned with our divine purpose, when we utilise the skills that we have been blessed with and we act and behave as an instrument of the higher power (whatever or whoever you believe that may be) the world around you completely changes and everything occurs in total and incredible synchronicity.

So you’ve just had your first soulgasm (you lucky thang) – now what?

+ Identify what instigated this incredible feeling? And nurture it as much as you can. Whether it’s an idea for a new business; spending time with loved ones; during your travels to distant lands ... trust that this is where you’re meant to be. This is how you’re designed to feel. This is how you will actualise your authentic self.

 Manifest this feeling and welcome it into every moment of your life. Do more of what makes your soul soar. Get your ‘gasm on every day.

+ Put it out there. Write it out baby. Grab your journal and jot down how you’re feeling, why you’re feeling it and how you will grow and maintain this feeling until your dying day. My favourite way to do this is by writing a journal entry that is written by my future self (No I haven’t lost my marbles, just bear with me and hear me out). I get comfortable and connect with that perfect version of myself, my authentic and true self. Then I get writing and I get specific. I.e ‘It’s 2014 and I cannot believe how incredible I feel every single day. I wake up beside the love of my life every morning, sit in the sun and enjoy my morning tea and give thanks for all that’s around me. My clinic is booming and I’m currently managing two staff members who have helped to bring in a 6 figure annual profit for the practise. I am writing every day and have an audience of loyal, inspiring, supportive and determined readers...’ The real entries are much longer and go into much more detail. But these are personal and can be just for your eyes. There are no rights or wrongs, no need to be a Shakespere-esque wordsmith, no restrictions or limitations whatsoever. You, your dreams, your journal and a sprinkle of universal magic. Perfection!

Now - Action steps. 

Set this thang in motion. Feel like a certain someone has sparked your soul? Then book in a regular phone or coffee date with them to make sure you are granted a weekly soulgasm. Inspired and invigorated by a certain idea or concept? Then follow your heart and chase that feeling. Had an epiphany? Trust your gut and act on it.

Lucky enough to experience multiple soulgasms? Well you are onto a winner. Stay on that path, do not back down and do not accept ‘no’. When you’re experiencing life as your authentic self and following your divine path, nothing in the whole entire world can stop you. In fact, it’s quite the opposite really. Once you set your intentions and choose to live a certain way, the universe conspires to see you achieve just that.

Believe in yourself as much as your best friend does; as much as your mother does; as much as I do. And with that sense of belief and enlightened sense of self and alignment – you can do anything. And if you don't believe in yourself, well then sugar, take comfort in the fact that I'm a hopeless romantic and your full time cheerleader and I truly believe that you are capable of greatness. 

I’ll leave you with an incredible quote. One which I have read over a majillion (yes that’s a word) times and it still ignites my spark and keeps me believing that I can do anything. Recite it, believe it and achieve it.

WARM FUZZY FRIDAYS - Epiphanies and Shit.

Image found here
Ah, I adore this silhouette.

At the moment I am pushing and stretching myself further and further - spiritually, emotionally, physically, in work, in play ... in life. I have been tuning into my 'inner guide' - that little voice that, in this day and age of crazy busyness, we silence and tend to ignore. But this voice, this meek, soft and silenced voice, is so insanely powerful and incredibly insightful. By acknowledging and honouring this voice, we can learn to heal ourselves. Our inner guide is a master of disguise and can serve as our doctor, nutritionist, friend, counsellor, personal trainer, teacher - you name it. Trust that voice and I promise you it will lead you on your true path.

So. I took my own advice and honed in on that voice, held up a big ole (metaphoric but still rad) amplifier and let that inner voice take centre stage. Something in me stirred and encouraged me to commit to a radical transformation. One of intense spiritual, physical and emotional growth. And how am I getting there? Yoga, writing, running, journalling, meditation, quiet time, active weekends, organic food, juice cleansing and surrounding myself with abundant love and support. I've launched straight into my quiet meditative practice and yoga classes and, boy oh boy, did my Inner Guide respond with gusto!


I want to preface my little story by sharing with you all the significance behind this beautiful symbol. The 'aum' consists of three curves, one semicircle and a dot. These are symbols of each persons self and their potential. The large curve (lower left corner) - symbolises the 'waking state' and is symbolic of ego - our outward persona, the person we think we should be, the identity that we consciously associate with the self. The upper curve (upper left) symbolises the 'unconscious self' and is the part of ourselves that is hidden from ones unconsciousness. The middle curve represents the 'dream state' - the connection between the conscious and unconscious. The semicircle (floating symbol) represents the 'illusion' that self exists as a separate entity. This illusion separates the individual from becoming one with the 'infinite self'. The dot represents the 'infinite, absolute self'. It symbolises the ultimate experience of life and of the Divine. Ok - so can you see now why I'm obsessed with the incredible intricacies of this simple symbol!

So ...

During a yoga class this week, at a new venue that I'm trying on for size (& just quietly am adoring), I had such a beautiful moment of pristine clarity and almost epiphany-like realisation. I saw myself - only it wasn't me. It felt like me, she had my features, she had my spirit but she was a little different. She was so physically at ease, comfortable in her skin, oozed health and vitality, was radiant with love and seemed to possess such self assurance and peace. I truly believe that she was my infinite, absolute self. She's in me and she is pounding on the confining walls of my current self. But she's close, oh so close, to coming through to the big wide world. 

I trusted my inner guide and it led me to such a beautiful moment. I feel so comforted by the experience and so inspired to continue fostering transformations in myself and others. Please know that you, I, everyone and everything on this planet deserves a life of absolute beauty, light, happiness and above all love. 

Let's start a revolution. What are you committing to for the month of May to show yourself some love and honour that Inner Guidance?

Blessings and profound gratitude for this beautiful thing called 'life' x
