LIFE Through a Lens. Show Yourself, so you can show up in the world.
In the quietude of a Wednesday morning, seated in my Barcelona apartment, I found myself captivated by the nuanced interplay of emotions, observing the weather's mercurial dance as a metaphor for the deeper exploration of self.
October 12th in Spain unfolded as "Dia de la Hispanidad," commemorating Christopher Columbus's 1492 arrival in the new world—an epochal moment etched in history books, symbolizing one man's passion birthing an era of exploration, trade, and cultural encounters.
Yet, this seemingly celebratory day is marred by the shadows of sorrow—a poignant reminder of decisions and actions that deviate from the service of the human spirit and universal connection.
SEE YOURSELF & BOW DOWN TO YOUR SACRED BEAUTY
In my role as a coach and as someone who embraces coaching, delving into the intricacies of our emotional duality is a passion. Navigating the realms of joy and sadness grants us insight into our present experience with life and shapes our trajectory for future moments.
This quest often demands facing judgment with tears, embracing heartache during a poignant rendezvous, or stepping into the flames, fully aware of the impending burn. So, how do we forge a connection with a deeper knowing? How can we plumb the depths of our conscious and unconscious selves to unlock new possibilities, reveal untapped information, and align with what could be our emerging future?
DISCOVERING THE DEEPER KNOWING WITHIN
While coaching offers a profound solution—a sacred commitment to personal and collective growth—what about moments when solitude beckons and we require a structured lens to look at our ebb and flow of emotions?
Enter the "Sacred Vlog," a personal exploration tool manifested in the form of video blogs. These aren't for public consumption but serve as a private voyage of catharsis, unveiling dimensions of the self.
The genesis of my "Sacred Vlog" emerged from a need to comprehend my struggle with expressing anger openly. Despite an internal turmoil, I found it challenging to unleash my rage in the presence of others. This tool, this sacred space, now aids me in authentically embodying my values.
As a firm believer in the inherent wholeness of human beings, I align with the universal principle that everything is in constant movement. Remembering who we are in our natural state of being amongst the stories of our past requires attunement to the evolving melody, recognizing where the music shifts, embracing and accepting the new notes and ultimately coming into the dance with our own unique musical expression in voice and heart.
