Often we are pulled in different directions by our emotions and thoughts. Repetitive mind stories, patterns and emotions tend to run our lives. Luckily you have the option to turn back the tide.
It comes down to thinking about what brings you to balance. The balance I am talking about is not a state of mind. It is the recognition that whatever thought-form is pulling you in a certain direction, you have the power to recognize it and pull in the opposite way.
This may look like a thousand different ways. It may be you recognizing how isolated you have been lately and taking the time to reach out to a friend. It may be realizing that this story in your mind has been on repeat forever (I am not enough, I am not lovable, etc.) and consciously replacing it with a new life-affirming one. It may be understanding when you have failed to meet your body’s needs and taking the time to tend to your physical being.
Creating equilibrium begins with knowing when to take care of yourself. It all starts with recognizing what is going on and balancing your life accordingly. Sometimes if the scales have been tipped in a certain direction for too long, you may need some expert help to figure out where to start and how to bring yourself back into balance. Small steps combined with the support of someone you trust are absolutely important in re-balancing your system.
Here are a few ways for working on your equilibrium:

Taking a good look at your choices begins by pausing and understanding that each moment is another opportunity to make another choice. Your choices brought you to where you are right now. Your choices will take you to where you wish to be. Your choices will allow you to be ok with the in-between state while you move towards where you want to be.
Your choices matter a lot. Choosing who to hang out with will shape if you get nourished or depleted in your relationships. Allocating your energy at work, at home, and in your relationships will determine whether you end up exhausted at the end of the day. How you prioritize your limited resources of time, energy, and attention will create your reality and how you relate to it.
Every day is a new opportunity to choose more life-affirming, life-supporting actions, thoughts, intentions and to re-determine your priorities. Sometimes this takes a sacred pause. A pause where you are not responsible for anything or anyone other than your precious self. Where you put your daily hustle on hold to see what matters most to you and how your choices are affecting you and those you love every single day.
When you find yourself stuck in your past and current choices, find some precious time for a sacred pause. Take some time to re-evaluate what you want, what you need and how you wish to allocate your resources to live the life you really want to live. If you need help with figuring out what you want, need and what to do next, let’s chat.

You are a system. You are not just your stomach. Your stomach doesn’t exist hanging in space. It is a part of an intricate mechanism and is intimately in relationship with its surrounding cells, tissues and organs. So are all of your ‘seeming’ parts and pieces. You also don’t end where your skin ends. Your electricity and your field extend way beyond your physical body. The physical, the electrical, the emotional, the energetic bodies all form an interwoven, extraordinary, and an always changing system.
You interact with other systems. You don’t exist in the ether all alone. Just like your stomach, your physical, emotional and energetic bodies interact with everyone and everything around you. You get affected by other people, other planets, and the stars including the Sun. And you, in turn, affect everything there is.
You are a probability cloud disguised as a body. The ability of your system to re-organize and make itself whole is unbelievable. Moment-to-moment you get to make choices, even choosing your own energy and vibration, and your whole system responds to your choices. Every single time you make a life-supporting choice, you are changing your system and everyone and everything around you in a positive way.
You are a multi-layered, multi-dimensional light-being. So your healing cannot and will not be just one dimensional. You need to take into account how everything in your life works or doesn’t work, and you need to figure out how and where to start. Here’s the secret: your system actually knows exactly where and how to begin your healing journey.
When I tune into your system, I sense your vibrational reality and I translate that experience into words. Some people call this intuition. Some call it clairaudience. I call it bringing what your system needs and wishes you to see, hear, understand and transform to light. Let me know if you need my help.

At the end of the day when you are in the midst of your exhaustion, I invite you to pause and remember what matters most. It isn’t what you haven’t accomplished yet or what you have. It isn’t the argument that your mind keeps coming back to. It isn’t money that is or isn’t in your bank account. It is how much you cared, how much you opened up to being loved and how much you loved.
Loving doesn’t mean you do everything that others like. Sometimes loving and being loved involves placing healthy boundaries around your relationship. What is OK and what is not OK to be said and done by both parties? Where are you stepping on each other’s boundaries? Where can you re-establish healthy boundaries that would work for you both?
Loving doesn’t need you to sacrifice yourself to the point of becoming exhausted. It means knowing your limits and making sure that you are not the only one who has an enormous amount of responsibility. It means we don’t ‘help’ each other. All of us living in the same house have and own an equal amount of responsibility for everything we do. We can divide up the tasks according to what we do best. But noone feels like they are drowning under a pile of tasks that they don’t like.
Loving doesn’t mean that you will say yes to everything that is knocking on your door. In fact, you will say more ‘no’s, and you will say more ‘let me check my calendar’s before any ‘yes’s. It also means you will do yourself a favor and clear any electronic news, emails, ideas, apps, social media feeds that are leaving you feeling unnecessarily stretched thin.
Loving doesn’t mean that you have to lock everything inside to the point of numbness or sickness. You will allow yourself to feel what you feel. And sometimes, you will let the people you love or people you trust can support you, to see these feelings. You will share what scares you the most, what you cannot even think about carrying on your shoulders anymore, what’s eating at you day and night that you can’t seem to get to the bottom of.
Loving doesn’t mean that you need to take a bubble bath every single day. There will be days that you do. On the days that you aren’t able to, you will still brew a cup of tea with love and hold it in your hands to feel the warmth, reminding you that this is OK, this will pass and you will still be there to take care of your precious self.
Loving doesn’t mean that you need to be present for your loved ones 24/7. The truth is, they need their own time to grow and learn too. But you will take the 20 minutes you have together, setting aside your phone, shutting down the TV, and you will look into their eyes. You will get interested in their lives and ask probing questions. You will then get excited about what they are excited about. And you will get to know them again and again as both your lives evolve and shift.
May you be loved, may you love deeper than you can imagine, may you navigate your life always and always through the lens of love.
With love and light,
Damla
Stress is a constant companion in our lives. Yet it takes a toll. We all have some tools or strategies to deal with it. But it keeps coming back to haunt us. Part of the reason is the way our lives are set up. Through our work, relationships, and environment, we are constantly bombarded by stress.
As a healer, I am more interested in the other reason: what’s underneath the stress? Which wound is replaying itself every time you get stressed? What strategies that you downloaded from your family or formulated in your early years are no longer helping? And most importantly, are you able to decipher when your stress points you to what in your physical and emotional life needs tending to?
More often than not it is not just the wound energy that needs to be neutralized but also how you deal with it. What strategy have you picked up from your parents, teachers or grandparents that is no longer serving you? What can you change about the way you handle life to not use up all your energy resources? How can you shift your perspective not only for your wounds but also for what you assume cannot be changed (aka your strategies and patterns)?
Here’s what happens when you tend to the wound underneath: suddenly what seems stressful doesn’t affect you the same way. You find yourself more resourceful and a lot more present to be able to deal with whatever life throws at you. With an increased capacity for presence, you are able to see the patterns that come up to the surface. You can then choose a new pattern, a new strategy, a new way to better handle your reality.

In the depth of winter I finally learned that there was in me an invincible summer.” Albert Camus
It is that time of the year when those of us living in the Northern hemisphere, especially where I am in New England, get to experience being in the depth of winter. If you are someone who gets deep into winter blues, here are some suggestions to turn your experience around into one of grace and ease:
What are your favorite ways of being in the depth of winter with joy?

All you need is here. Life at any given moment brings out the best opportunity for you to see, feel, transform and release your wounds. What comes up right now as an issue in your life or in your chakra system is related to an earlier wound that is coming up to the surface to be healed.
Pay attention to what you wake up with. What keeps appearing in your life to side-track you? Is it health or relationship-related? Is it about your finances? Clearly identify what it is that is asking for and receiving your attention.
Take time to unpack it either by yourself or by the help of someone you trust. Often you have already tried to unpack, resolve, be with or get rid of it by yourself. Perhaps it is time to bring in the help of a healer. My job as a healer is to help you connect the dots and know what is asking you to be healed, and offer you vibrational support and tools to transform it with ease and grace. Just remember this: you don’t have to do it alone. It is ok to ask for and receive help.
The unpacking usually will bring up stuff. Stuff you need to look at, see, feel, hear and understand, so that it can begin to transform into an ally rather than something that bugs you or makes you feel uncomfortable or keeps you stuck.
All that is rising up to the surface is an opportunity to feel wholeness, beauty and love. The question is what will you do with it? Will you fight it, feed it, ignore it or will you make an effort to understand it, see it, feel it, and offer it love and compassion? That’s what’s between you and the transformation of rising above your conditions, conditionings and circumstances.
With love and light,
Damla
