While the decadence is systematically happening, outward and inward, the concept of what we value is extensively shifting and changing. Lineages of what was thought to be based in love are shaking us all at the core to clear all the false beliefs that used to only serve the individual and not the collective.</p> <p>Simply put, if one is still thinking and doing things for the wellbeing of oneself and some people only, it will merely work for a short while and then collapse. </p> <p>It is time for us to truly wish for others (all others) what we wish for our self. </p> <p>As things are getting more flagrant in terms of hollow narratives and repetitive non-sensical information, fear-based storytelling and ongoing emphasis on what to keep running away from, there is a sense of spaciousness for genuine interconnection with oneself and others.</p> <p>It is amazing to see how focusing on one subject is taking many into an addictive blackhole while others are experiencing more freedom to be who they are and embody their truth.</p> <p>Some days, we are feeling a lot and other days are imbued with a welcoming and appreciation following a deeper release of our own outer and inner spaces.</p> <p>The sense of loss is becoming more intimately woven with what is coming in as something or someone is leaving our life.</p> <p>While constriction is happening, expansion is simultaneous and love is felt at a much deeper level. </p> <p>The recurring feeling of gratitude for witnessing the point in time and space where an ending and a start become one, because they are truly not separate. That moment where the sun meets the moon just for now, when before and after collide.</p> <p>That now preceding the vanishing of light behind the vast waters of the earth and the graceful fading to welcome the dark with fullness, with expansion and perfection.</p> <p>We are all feeling discomfort, and many are noticing that the drama around it is fading and the actuality of it is purely body based. This discomfort is what is pushing us through until we roll with it, until it becomes more familiar and organic.</p> <p>An ongoing cycle where attachment to what was is crumbling and the only thing that creates is happening now. The rawness is showing in the subtle and the subtle is quite powerful and daunting yet exciting, inspiring and enlivening.</p> <p>The more we die to what we knew, to the concepts of the past including dysfunctional ways of relating to ourselves and others, dissonant behaviors that are not aligned with who we are, attachments, fear and control-based reactions, the more we feel love, the more we feel life.</p> <p>The practices help until they are fully integrated. The ceremonies support until the changes are embodied, until life becomes “The Ceremony”. The toolbox gets refined and emptied until the simple way of being emerges.</p> <p>The past does not exist and the only way to be is in the now and witness the past melting away from your grip and the need to hold on to it in order to exist. </p> <p>Now is what sets the foundation for the future.</p> <p>What we change now affects the future.</p> <p>Start a new dream, write a new script to the life you envision not only for yourself but for all humanity and existing life. The more we hold onto things, the more suffering we experience.</p> <p>And we ask why there is so much suffering in the world?</p> <p>The suffering of poverty, abuse and wars in third world countries has a very similar frequency to hatred, envy, fear and separation in the first world countries.</p> <p>As long as the quality of life is not honored for every living being on this earth, nature will not stop and the more we try to control it, the more we will simply vanish.</p> <p>Life is truly generous and what you perceive, you manifest through your own geometry that shifts now to either repeat similar events rippling into your life and all around you or you can choose to drop the auto-pilot veil within you that recreates the same story, over and over again.</p> <p>The way to face control is not by trying to control back but rather releasing the controlling mechanisms within.</p> <p>Taking over one another is no longer functional.</p> <p>Force is empty.</p> <p>Verticality is worn-out and taking a real break.</p> <p>Now is where everything blinks in and out of existence including you, me and everyone around.</p> <p>Now is where you make choices that will seed the earth for the coming generations.</p> <p>Now is the gift of everything.</p> <p>Now is the birth of the Sun (Son).</p> <p>Now is the birth of Light.</p> <p>May you be the light, know the light that you are and emanate from that place.</p> <p>May the light shining through you resonate with the light in others.</p> <p>May you know, in your heart, that you are not alone.</p> <p>May you feel love and remember that you are loved.</p> <p>May you keep nourishing yourself and others.</p> <p>May you find your voice and speak your truth.</p> <p>May you know your gift and share it with others, openly and unconditionally.</p>

path that is known as spiritual was the self-satisfactory fantasy of thinking I was walking it alone.<br /> For as long as I remember, and many would relate, I was a rebel soul that wanted to change the world and would take on a belief in a cause or in someone until something changes and the reason behind the cause fades and the rebel faded with it.<br /> A being that wanted to simply belong to something, feel supported, honor others and honor oneself as life lays the challenges and the bread crumbs on the way.</p> <p>The post <a

class="elementor-widget-container"> <p></p> <p></p> <p>Just like medicine, truth is aligned with what the space requires and what is true for you in the moment. It is clear and simple. It is not confusing yet it will bring up every layer of confusion for one to see, question, check-in and make a choice in the moment. That choice would be clear and integrally congruent with one’s own being or left on hold until becoming clear and accepted as it is.</p> <p>Up until I started having a glimpse of what I was looking for in my life was truth; I was a vagabond seeker of something unknown. I was looking for the connection with God in the depth of my being, what Joseph Campbell beautifully describes as “the experience of being alive”.</p> <p>Feeling split from the reality that I was living was no longer viable and the choices became scarce. I could not lie to myself any longer. The more I tried to analyze what was going on, the more I went into separation instead of connection. That separation was happening inside of me and the quest for truth is what kept me here in this body and this lifetime. </p> <p>The latter is very much interconnected to the process of healing and as we all know, seeing things as they are within us is not pleasant nor is it comfortable. When we define ourselves as good people and we deny the whole picture, we realize that we were living in a box and this box gets tighter and tighter until something breaks.</p> <p>Healing is challenging. We all agree on this point and for those who do not even like the word “healing”, maybe the main theme can resonate more for you. Each one of us is a very unique being that is complex and multilayered. This is the simple beauty and the complexity of life expressed in all its forms.</p> <p><span style="font-size: 16.875px; letter-spacing: 0.015em;">If you are looking for comfort as you step into feeling, discerning and witnessing the shift of deep-rooted patterns and beliefs that are not essentially yours, you will be persistently deceived and more so, you will see the fading of veils that separated you from the truth, from God and love. The feeling of being alone starts surging like the waves of an ocean washing away every sense of separation and loneliness within you. </span></p> <p>Healing is done with what seems to be a never-ending state of “being alone” in this. A community, a family member, a real friend can support you but no one can do anything for you except love you as you are going in and going deep. This is essential and it is part of what I share with people during the preparation and integration phases before and after ceremony.</p> <p>You can kick and scream your heart out as much you want. You can lose any sense of belief in what humanity came to be as you experience deception, betrayal and loss. The more you release on those expectations and aspects based in control, the more you open yourself up to the spaciousness of freedom and magnitude of love.</p> <p>Healing is humbling. Healing is dismembering in order to remember who you are. It is an ongoing softening, molding and reshaping to be with all and live with all that is. </p> <p>Healing is strange until the stranger becomes a friend and unlearning the past, a way of life.</p> <p>Seeing the truth does involve pain and it makes me wonder if what we are told in the moment was true, would we have developed the fear of truth altogether?</p> <p>It seems to me that hiding the truth made it look like this scary character covered with a dark cloak and showing like the beast that we run away from most of our life. That same character is what we end up facing and when we get to the point of removing the cloak, we awaken and we can’t go back to being asleep. Is it worth it?</p> <p>How can we change our experience on this earth as we are still alive?</p> <p>Why you? Why me?</p> <p>Why the cruelty, the judgments and abuse? </p> <p>The answers to all your questions reside in your own quest for truth and what that means for you. Your commitment to embodying your full potential and remaining in a state of awe to every daily miracle starting with the breath and carrying through with what you do and how you do it.</p> <p>Everything is finally showing and the truth is bringing it all to the surface for it to be seen and for the right actions to be taken.</p> <p>Actions that align with nature.</p> <p>Actions that are loving, kind and compassionate.</p> <p>Actions that reflect the new human being that you are becoming.</p> <p>We are sitting together in this big ceremony and the medicine has been served with a yapa (additional dose).</p> <p>The <em>Icaros</em> started. </p> <p>The medicine is moving. </p> <p>The nausea in on! </p> <p>Buckle up and take a deep long breath for the ride of your LIFE and know in your heart that Love fills the space within, around us and in between.

costume to school, the struggle within built up between playing the colors of a costume that was not even fitting to running away and hiding from the overwhelming feeling of others and their own little agonies. I pleaded for God’s little time to spare for my prayers and cries for help as I was watching the girl and the teenager getting lost; not knowing where to go, what to do and who will bring them back home.</p> <p></p> <p>When I look at this story, I ask myself: Isn’t this exactly what we are living now and is it really strange to us or is it revealing the parts that are calling us back home?</p> <p></p> <p>Running away from the reality that we lived while growing up helped us create and eventually reveal the hidden worlds inside of us. We know those worlds. They are comfortable and squared. The grounds can be stones of judgement, pain and sadness, the binding clay fear, shame and guilt. The corners a field for the traumas shared with others. The scenery gloomy and closed with walls that got thicker and thicker by heavy shades and a big sign: “No trespassing” hanging on every corner and doorway. </p> <p>Until when can we keep hiding in those worlds that have created separation within us and between us?</p> <p></p> <p>Yes, we are being challenged, many times every single day to open up more and more to see with clarity what is going on inside of us as the world the way we knew it is revealing the illusions that we built and believed in for a long time.</p> <p>We are also getting to know what we love and are truly passionate about. What makes our heart sing and our soul dance for us to feel more alive and share this with others and inspire them. </p> <p></p> <p>Opening up to Spirit gave me the first breath of life again but I had to die, many times, to who I thought I was in order to become a whole being again and help others on their dying journeys.</p> <p>It awakened me from the bones and brought joy to my heart and body to be the girl, teenager and woman that I am today. This is possible for every single one of us. </p> <p></p> <p>When we know death, we are not scared from living any longer and we are not challenging life but honoring it. </p> <p>Dying more than once until death becomes a visceral and integral experience of life itself.</p><p><span style="font-size: 16.875px; letter-spacing: 0.015em;">Be inspired.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: 16.875px;

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Spirit takes form in our mother’s womb and we swim our way from this warm ocean to the shores of an earth-based reality, we are raw and our senses are widely open to receiving and absorbing everything that the world around us is emitting our way.</p> <p>The sounds and the vibrations of words we feel, the colors we gradually adapt to seeing, the shapes and forms, smells and tastes we smile or cry to, the actions and behaviors we watch over and over again are painted on our blank canvas.</p> <p>We come here naked and get wrapped by different kinds of clothing that life offers.</p> <p>Our organs and systems are turned on in a whole different way. We do not know what is going on and we need the care and embrace of the family we chose to drop into.<br />Their ways of being, thinking and doing incrementally become ours and as the circle expands, we develop a way of living as we are shown and told.</p> <p>How to dress?<br />How to talk?<br />How to behave?<br />How to express and suppress?<br />How to act?<br />How to eat?<br />How to attract and reject?<br />How to hide and seek? </p> <p>We get programmed to a preset normalcy that slowly moves us away from a natural way of being.</p> <p>In order to belong, we get fed with ways how to separate things, people, God and ourselves from everyone else.</p> <p>We learn how to fight or keep silent to belong, how to do what is right according to teachers while watching them doing wrong to others and so wrong becomes normal.</p> <p>We start excusing behaviors and removing ourselves from any kind of responsibility because someone else was always responsible for us.</p> <p>The baby grows to keep feeding on a virtually safe and unnatural system.<br />We learn to close our eyes and turn our heads from the reality that we are seeing right in front of us. </p> <p>Reality becomes skewed.</p> <p>We entertain within many contexts, only to be accepted and seen. Only to be loved.</p> <p>Love becomes skewed.</p> <p>Life becomes painful and our default mode of running away tangles our body and strangles our soul until something cracks us open and we are not able to take this reality any further.</p> <p>The comfort we used to live in breaks and we start falling while watching the threads attaching us to the previous reality as we knew it fading.</p> <p>A sense of going crazy arises, over and over again only to offer us the recurring inability to do anything about it.</p> <p>Doing becomes archaic. We freeze from the fear that embedded our whole existence.<br />The fear that tangled us to everything, everyone and life itself.</p> <p>What is ours and what is not ours?<br />A whole journey begins.<br />Untangling the threads connecting layers within to learn about them and through them, explore the potential to establish new threads that are coherent with the web of life and nature itself.</p> <p>What was held deep down implodes an unlimited force of change and gives us the impetus to transfigure and transform.</p> <p>A real-birth that once was experienced from the womb to the cloth that held us, for earth to welcomes us again, raw and naked yet fully cradled.</p> <p>Freedom starts with allowing yourself to be fully who you are.<br />Freedom is alchemizing every single structure within to shift it to a state of being that encompasses the old conditions, restrictions and fears.</p> <p>A state of ongoing death and birth.<br />A state of feeling it all.<br />A state of love.<br />And love becomes life<br />And life becomes love.<br />Every step of the way…</p> <p>In Love and Medicine.</p> <p>Maya Abou Chedid</p> <p>The post <a
