Unearth Your Power Through Self-Knowledge And Right Action

Prana and Poetry

 

Ever since I began to consciously step into my power—into Shakti, my warrior feminine essence—I experienced uncanny synchronicities. Signs appeared that determined I was walking on the right path.
 
How did I arrive in this place of ‘flow’ and ‘certainty’?
By doing a lot of deep inner excavation. By facing my demons and dragons. Through consistently tending to the painful silences and overflow of emotions. Through bravely facing the unknown.
I returned from the darkness of being in an emotionally abusive relationship and came out stronger than I’ve ever been. How?
The answer is simple. Self-exploration.  Self-connection. Self-love and Self-care.

These were my weapons and I came through as victor with the knowledge that to win the war, or the many battles that show up in life, you conquer from within.
As blazing fire reduces all wood to ashes, similarly, the fire of Self-knowledge, reduces all karma to ashes. – The Bhagavad Gita
Are you experiencing a sense of powerlessness in an area of your life?
 
Does life happen to you rather than you create it with your will?
 
Do you react to emotional triggers and give your power away?
 
Are you starved of healthy, supportive and fulfilling relationships?These are all signs of a disconnection from your personal power. This power is innate and it is of the feminine and you have access to it at any time!
 
The divine feminine has many names and I call her Shakti. She is a form of Durga, the warrior goddess, the creator of the universe and she is our life force energy.

What greater symbol for our overflow of strength and power within than the full moon that’s just passed? For the moon, which influences our mind and emotional body is her prime domain!

The moon is always immersed in darkness, it has strength and courage to remain there, seemingly alone. If you’re experiencing this isolation, do not fear, because you’re in a place to collect deep wisdom and gains for yourself.

The brightness of the full moon against the blackness of the night is a spectacle that rivals even the sun.

Instead of a rivalry however, we need a balance and integration of light (solar) and dark (lunar) forces within. This is the aim of yoga practice – to dissolve the opposites and harmonize the two forces.

Do you see how your darkness, your unconscious material, is an endless source for your awakening and transformation?

I show my coaching clients that their darkest emotions are their greatest strengths. But we must get still and face the shadows with a warrior spirit to be able to meet and transform them for a more productive use.

We must cultivate the fighting spirit of the goddess to face our inner and outer obstacles, uniting body with breath to first gather our energy!
I provide creative healing through a range of embodiment practices and these are mainly from my three areas of expertise, yoga, writing and martial arts training!
Join me for my next free offering, ‘Enter the Dragon’s Cave: An 11 Day Writing Challenge to Awaken the Shero Within!’ This is an epic quest to defeat your metaphorical monsters and dragons to unearth your buried treasure, your vital power, Shakti. Journey into the dark cave of your unconscious as I guide you to face your enemies and obstacles and gain priceless knowledge of Self along the way.
Break free from limiting patterns, unhealthy relationships, protect your borders, tend to self-care, to self-love. Become! Heal! This is the way.
In self-knowledge, there is power, therefore take the right action steps to dissolve your fears and pains, clear the path and make way for your rising fighting feminine spirit.

An Open Letter To The Hustlers

An Open Letter To The Hustlers

To be or not to be, to go all in or to unwind and relax, we question our dreams, running in constant chase of our quests to come true, we are the ones who never sleep. Dreamers we are called, the ones who passionately strive in the endeavours of the best they could ever be, here is a letter to me, a letter to you. In the stride of embracing the best you have ever been, nurture your soul before the onset of the abundance in you that lies unseen.

Too bold, too much for your age, you are doing too much, how often have you heard these notions been used to describe you? As we tirelessly strive to achieve the next goal we have in our mind, we are often told that we are being hard on ourselves, to enjoy life a little. Life in its entirety passes by us in its dynamic flair, and the existence we envisage holds unique individuality to each one of us. The choices one makes for themselves belies them and them only, and t

How To Remain Centered And Calm In Face Of Difficulty

My life is a mess and I have nothing to be grateful about! I witness myself say this phrase from time to time, where life plonks us into the desperation of ebb and flow of wilderness and things not going in our favour.

It is easy to say we are grateful and in complete balance when things are going well and life feels like the warm embrace of the sun shining on a Sunday morning. But the real test lies in remaining grateful and centred when life feels like spinning out of control.

While it is easier said than done, here are some reminders that might help you get through the days that feel like a burden –

1) This too shall pass, no moment in time that feels permanent loses its impermanence. We often lose hope when things don’t go our way and during these sad days, we should remember, that t

15 Most Liberating Thoughts For Someone Who Needs It

Our life unfolds in a succession of revelations of who we are. It is when we sit down and repeat the same sentence in our head over and over again, in every action we perform, every activity we indulge ourselves in, does it indulges into our existence as a habit.

The key to having a sense of liberation is allowing life to flow through, not forcing anything and more essentially not resisting change. I believe that our life improves in the direct proportionality of how often we are exposed to situations where are forced to challenge our age-old beliefs and counterfeited perceptions and seek the greater version of ourselves. When we get too comfortable in the comfort zones we build for ourselves, we do not grow into the people we are meant to be. Sadly most people embrace change only when metamorphosis is the less painful and only possible option.

I know that

My Rendezvous With Life

My Rendezvous With Life

The treacherous waters of existence hail in their stride,As the beauty of sailing against the winds uproars in its ride.Benevolence in its yonder stirs the mirth of the true,Navigating the turbulent waves, death and I had a rendezvous.

I sought the beauty of the light that was unseen,In the depths of my muse, I found my world within.Life in its flair, trudged me into the emblems of the dark,The dreams that perspired in the seed embraced their death,As it was time for a new quest to embark.

Quaint whispers that echoed in their gallant stance,The jeers that surmounted the uncertainty galloped in their dance.Silencing the wind, bestriding the fall,I plunged into the entirety of my endeavours that call

The Power of Understanding Your Love Language

The Power of Understanding Your Love Language

Love is the purest emotion one feels towards themselves and another individual. While the expression of love can vary in its entirety from one person to another, the care we hold for the ones we love shares an undeniable impact on how we forge our perceptions of interpersonal relationships. The way we communicate our feelings to someone also says a lot about how we are wired, the method of conveying our affection to our beloved ones is called a love language. You may express affection to the one you love regularly, but do you take the time to ensure that you are communicating it in the way that the other person prefers? Even love can become lost in translation when two individuals speak different love languages.

What are the five love languages?

The Beauty Of Gratitude In A World Full Of Cynicism

Ever acquainted with the phrase that the world that you exist in, the life that you embody dwells in the perception of the stance you hold for yourself. The beauty and the tragedy of life is that it is as beautiful as the optimistic lens of perception and as ugly as the pessimistic view of your being.

The strive of our endeavours and the constant effort to achieve the next massive milestone often drive us to the edges of insanity, to be in the consistent light of greatness we lose sight of the great strings of joy that bind our existence together. To be the best we have ever been we must be mindful of the best we are. Coinciding in the traps of negativity and yet claiming to be the best version of yourself is a blinding truth that lies to only

I Breathe In The Sauntering Air That Collapses My Being

I Breathe In The Sauntering Air That Collapses My Being

I breathe in the sauntering air that collapses my being,I breathe through the crevices of my existence unseen.Uncertainty in its yonder strikes in bolt on the scars that nobody sees,Redemption that loves, redemption that is free, find me in the depths of my poetry.

Tales of lust ridden in smeared touches that belie,Entreated with envy, the visions of victory lie.To be or not to be in a question that yet lies,For I yearn for a world where fond passion never dies.

Enclasped in the cage of the deemed duty,Bounded in her vows, she forgot she was a thing of beauty.In a realm we live, where amour in its truth fails to stand tall,She, tired of her existence, submerges herself into the beauty that her dreams enthrall.

Chaos in its uproar hails in its darkness
