When the grass is greener on the other side...

Greetings my dear friends, visitors and residents of The Light Planet! I hope you are all well in every possible level.


Recently on a trip to Paris, in the middle of a friends reunion, everyone was asking me how things are going here in Los Angeles, and how life is in general. They all seemed fascinated with the idea of the American Dream and the life in this side of the world. During a brief moment of silence most of them stood looking up as if to some invisible point on the horizon, yearning to be in L.A. and one of them broke the silence with a toast to Los Angeles, to which we all joined.

As this unfolded in front of my eyes, I sensed a bit of irony seeing how all this Parisians who, live and experience on a daily basis one of the most beautiful cities in the world, were yearning to be in Los Angeles. I instantly remembered having experienced the exact same reaction when I told my friends in Los Angeles that I was traveling to Paris; they were all yearning to be in Paris.

Right after this, I suddenly felt conscious of the phrase: “The grass is always greener on the other side”.

I found myself witnessing a perfect example of such phrase.
Those who are here yearn to be there, those who are there yearn to be here. And so we are constantly yearning to be "on the other side", having all that which we don’t have and so we forget to touch base with all that which we do have but start taking for granted.

When we are not able to appreciate what we have, we slowly stop seeing all that which is good in our life, we lose perspective and get into the game of looking for validation elsewhere, to be told that “everything is OK” and we feel the need to feed off of external elements that can help us feel that we are indeed “well positioned” in life.

We fail to remember that everything is well in the universe, in its own balance even when we might find it hard to understand and that if we really need to touch base with the essence of the life we’ve created; a simple inventory of the big and small things we can easily identify becomes the fastest reconnection and the only compass we need to put us back in track.

Let’s maintain and walk barefoot over our own grass, let’s appreciate and enjoy it for it’s the only one we have, let’s turn it into the garden of our dreams and then there wont be any garden "on the other side" that we fancy more than our own.

Right & Wrong

Recently a good friend of mine told me what she announced as a horrible deed she had committed, before she told me; she was already warning me that she would never do it again and I could feel how worried and confused she was.



While she was telling me her story, there were moments where she admitted that the whole experience had been enjoyable but she kept on saying she “knew” it was “WRONG”

But according to WHO was this experience WRONG? This reminded me of all the pre-conceptions, judgments and beliefs we carry around, and they are not even ours! We have inherited so much of this baggage from what we have been taught and told. Very few people actually endorse their own beliefs and live according to them because they have decided to do so.

But what happens with the rest? The rest just accepts them and tries to live up to them at the best of their abilities, but isn’t that exactly the kind of pattern, the kind of attitude and conformism that creates the increasingly high rates of unhappiness and depression in the world today?

The experience my friend shared with me, was by far one of the best things that could have happened to her, why? Because for the first time in her entire life, she dared to leave absolutely all of the pre-conceptions, judgments and inherited beliefs she was carrying around and surrendered completely to herself, she embraced self-trust and gave a massive step towards her own growth and evolution. For the first time, her own voice was ‘speaking’ lauder than everyone else’s!

Unfortunately, my poor friend soon enough put back on her backpack full of everything she had just summed the courage to leave behind, even if for a moment. And she felt the heavy weight of the backpack once more, suddenly her recent experience was now looked at through judgment-full eyes and her worse fears came over her. She felt bad, she felt worthless and utterly confused.

Soon she will realize that this experience is something she will remember as the first big leap on the way to hearing her own voice, to finally be herself despite the world.

How heavy is your backpack today?
How much of the contents are truly yours?
Whose voice speaks lauder?
Whose voice are you listening to?

This, being YOUR life, the only life you truly own; shouldn’t it be your own voice the one to lead you?

As far as I am concerned; I am going to let my voice scream out laud so I may never fail to hear it!

The power of Forgiveness

Hi my dear friends, welcome once more to The Light Planet!

I would like to take this opportunity to talk about forgiveness, yes, forgiveness my dears, as others have said before “to forgive is divine”, but Oh what a challenge it is!, is it not?

We have all found ourselves facing a situation where we have been affected by somebody else’s acts, whatever the sort, we have all at some point received an apology and the request for forgiveness from someone who has harmed us in any way. But surely we have also found ourselves in the other side of the street, where we have been the ones to have harmed someone, and asking for forgiveness.


How noble is the act of asking for forgiveness, admitting our mistake, becoming more humble in front of others and asking for compassion. For he who asks for forgiveness from his heart; does not seek to justify himself, he who really asks for forgiveness does not request comprehension and understanding, but only compassion, acknowledging that his/her actions have caused a non-desired effect, and most likely, a proper damage to a beloved one.

To ask for, and give forgiveness, frees us, takes a heavy weight away, relieves us, allows us to learn, takes us farther and farther from pain, it connects us with compassion, empathy and also with our humbleness, for to ask for forgiveness and forgive we must become conscious that we all need forgives at some point and also that we all deserve a second chance.

To forgive, as an act of liberation, is to “let go”, “release” that offence or damage, give it away until forgetting it, make it part of the past. Perhaps this is the reason why we find forgiveness hard, because we find it hard to forget, to let go, but, do we really want this rancor and resentment in our emotional baggage?, do we truly want to carry it around with us and make it part of our daily lives?

Thinking about forgiveness, I wanted to know more and I learnt the following: Forgive its composed by:

for” (exact translation of the Latin “par” meaning: by) and “give” (translation from the Latin “donāre” meaning: give, gift, donation)

Even in its etymology, forgiveness declares itself as a “gift”, as donning, delivering a gift voluntarily. ‘By gift or by grace‘, we forgive others, which at the same time frees us. How noble it is to forgive and how wide its field of action! If I had to describe it physically, I would say it’s a soft, pleasant and refreshing balsam that soothes the soul of he who asks for forgiveness as of he who gives it.

From the depth of my heart I wish us all to always be able to ask for forgiveness and give forgiveness when required, emptying so our baggage, releasing the heavy weights and keeping with us only that which enlightens and lifts us.

Receive a BIG hug!

Alone or By Yourself?!

Greetings my dear friends! Welcome once again to The Planet Light!

In the southern emisphere we are enjoying summer and vacations time, free time, beaches, sun, fun, time to release all the tensions we have accumulated during the year gone, whether due to our job or studies. Many of you may be wondering what to do with this time, if you don’t have a plan already.

Surely all of you have a long list of pending things, all of those things you have been wanting and meaning to do but you have not had the time to, nevertheless, I imagine that very few of you have added "Spend some time on my own" to the list. This is probably because 'Loneliness' is not very much appreciated, many actually fear it and run away from it, however Loneliness can be very beneficial if we take it in moderation.

To spend a reasonable quantity of time on your won, whether it is to think, clear up your mind, get away from the noise and the influences around us, maybe to simply enjoy a beautiful day in the open, to do nothing at all and just enjoy BEING here and now. This is something we should all be capable of doing. Being with yourself is not really being 'Alone', you can have hundreds of people around and still feel alone. Taking some time by yourself benefits your internal communication, your capacity to to listen to yourself, to your feelings, heart and body, all of which are always sending signals, but we hardly ever hear them because we are always distracted or busy with something else.

The time spent on your own can bring wonderful moments, moments of clarity, brilliance, answers to questions you kept unanswered, and ultimately; the satisfaction of knowing that you are capable of creating an internal dialogue and be with yourself without despair and without feeling depressed. A wise one said: "The only person who stays with you for the rest of your life is yourself", hence the relationship with ourselves should be the best kept relationship of all.

When we speak about Loneliness, like many other things in this world, the reaction will be directly linked to a matter of concepts. What does it mean for you to be Alone?, is it perhaps the same as being on your own?. Personally, I think we are never really 'Alone', whether we notice it, whether we see it (or want to see it) or not, there is always someone ready and willing to listen to us, to be there for us. We can alone due to many factors, situations and we might perceive it as something negative, but we are never truly alone. However, from my perspective, 'on your own' is more of a choice, its to decide to be with yourself or spend some time on your own for whatever reason, and we might perceive it in a positive way, as the desire of being with yourself and be willing to appreciate it.

I invite you all to consider Loneliness for a moment, as to identify what sort of definition we have given it within ourselves and our lives, identify is we perceive this definitions are 'negative' or 'postive'.

Finaly, let's not forget that nothing is really 'postive' or 'negative', everything just IS, and its us who are used to catalog everything that comes to us, to put labels and judge. Perhaps we could experiment to acept that everything is in a pure and neutral state, treat things as row material, give it shape with our best intentions and see what we are capable of create.

I send you all big warm hugs and we will meet again soon!

Light, Camera, Action!

My dear friends, welcome once more to The Light Planet!

I hope you all had a wonderful New Year celebration to give the warmest welcome to the starting year.


As a new year starts we renew our expectations and create new ideals about life and about ourselves. We wish to start the year well and so the first days we endeavour to be “better”, hoping to keep our renewed attitude during the rest of the year.

But many times our endeavours do not succeed, as the time goes by we tend to forget about our new year resolutions and we fall back to the same old routine, that which we promise ourselves we would change, that which we feel should be the reflexion of the path we want to follow, yes, that one which never really supports the vision of the life we wish to create.

At which point do we let go of that happy vision of ourselves?, what makes us forget out resolutions?, can we stop it?

If we are able to find the answers to the first and second questions, then we have already half the way in. It is important to identify the source of any action that creates a reaction within us. Each and every one of us is responsible and owner of him/herself, and therefore, the only Director of one’s life. The Director that is capable of change the script at his wish and desire, the one who plays in the constant search for characters and tools to recreate the situations he crafts in his mind, with which he can give birth to his master piece.

Just like this movie director, we are able to modify anything we wish or need to change. We can not change others, for each is owner of him/herself, but we can definitely change our attitude towards them, which modifies the dynamic of the interaction with others creating a new way of communicating and completely changing the outcome of our actions without trying to change them.

If we are not happy with the script, let’s change it, let’s give it a new sense, let’s change the characters if necessary, let’s play! Keep in mind that nothing else directs your life, not the stars, not the movement of the planets either, for that job is entirely yours and so your will shall overcome.

So, are you ready? Light, Camera, Action!

The Treasure Map

Welcome once more to The Light Planet! May the regenerating and energizing light of this planet which you and I have created, enfold you to renew your energies!

We are getting close to the end of yet another solar cycle, the end of another year alive. Its always a nostalgic event, but it is also an opportunity to take a look at our life, to look at the way we react in front of difficulties, the way we treat ourselves and others. It is also a good opportunity to check how close or far we are from the path we have set for ourselves.

For me, 2009 has been an excellent year. I have learnt so much, I have met wonderful people, I have been to places I had never been before and re-visited some dear places. I have laughed, I have cried, I have danced, ran, jumped, worked, travelled, I have been sure, I have doubted, I have lost and found myself, I have watched, and I have closed my eyes, I have spoken and I have silenced myself. This 2009 I was able to explore unknown facets of myself , this year was a real adventure!

As usual, at the end of 2008 I made a list of all the things I expected of 2009, and I have been able to make a happy revision, watching my hopes materialize, seeing how I was able to overcome the obstacles and so, I reached the end of 2009 with a smile on my face.

With all this, I have realised how important it is for us to know what we want, what we wish to create in our lives. Even if we are sure of almost nothing, even if we don’t really how to get the tools we need or how to reach our goals; the most important thing is to know what we want, for only then we can start moving forward, identifying and grabbing those opportunities which arise and might help us to reach our destination. Only so we can hope to be closer to create what we wish for ourselves and, eventually reach it! Otherwise, life merely passes us by and we wonder from one point to another waiting for some sign to show us the way, a sign that may or may not come, and if it doesn’t we end up feeling we have been living in vane…

Only the one who seeks finds! Only the one who sets a destination eventually reaches it! If you may, please do consider these words for a moment.

I invite you all to make a summary list of your life during 2009, your experiences and lessons and then, create another list with all of the experiences and lessons you wish for yourselves on 2010, and all of your goals, whether they are material, spiritual or a mixture of both. The important thing is to be able to identify your soul‘s desire, listen to your heart, and soon this list will become the Treasure Map for 2010, kept it close to you, check it from time to time during the year to get you back on the path towards your treasure, the one you have buried for yourself, to be found during 2010.

Big hugs to you all, until our next encounter!

A little Nudge!

Dear friends,

Welcome once again to our Light Planet, where we renew ourselves, we disconnect from the noisy world of Planet Earth, and we reconnect with ourselves.



I have the feeling that you already know what the subject of our discussion today will be. Because we are all conscious of what is around us, particularly of that which we want to make or get. We know the world does not work in an ideal way, that out there people battle every day, they fight to survive, to be alive one more day, to see the light of the sun once more, some even battle to have something to feed their kids, and many others do it to make their dreams come true.

The battles are many and we are not outside this reality. We all have battles, we all dream about something, we all want to get somewhere someday, we all want to create. And even though we know the tools are at our hand’s reach -call them: ability to dream, feel the desire, feel the passion, and act to materialize-, in many cases we lack determination, or the final “little nudge” to help us reach what we are after.

We have already heard that determination is easily obtained when we trust ourselves, in who we are and in our own capacities, but beyond that, if we look into the simplicity of things, we will see that such determination is nothing more than a choice. In the end, it all comes down to give or not the step ahead that’s missing, to go and do that which may, (or may not) lead us to accomplish the goal.

Let’s be more adventurous, let’s take the missing step ahead, let’s go beyond our limits, let’s get out of our ‘comfort zone’, even if just for the sake of experiencing what the outcome is and see how far we can go. And if by doing this we are also able to accomplish more than one of those wishes we have been keeping on the ‘pending’ list because we lacked such nudge of courage and boldness; Even Better!

So…Are you up for it?

Where are you now?

Hello my dear friends, we find each other here once more, in this safe space, which we have created together.

The world outside keeps on spinning, the sun and the moon still visit us daily, impressing us with their splendor and light. But, where are we today?



I think, and feel that it is important to ask this question today. Where are we?, where are YOU?, living a life you have chosen and created for yourself, or living a life where everybody around you is more responsible for your own life than you?

Are you in a life where you are in control and decide your own course, or in a life where you are just a follower of the majority, even if that means going against your wishes and principles?

It is necessary to know where you are now, for only in the Now you can decide, only in the Now you can experience, only in the Now you can live.
The most comfortable and satisfied you are with the place or state you find yourself in now, the most gratifying your life becomes and your future turns into an adventure in which you decide the fate and the plot.

If you are not satisfied with the place where you find yourself, with your current situation, think: what’s missing?, what can you do about it?, how can you do it?, and most importantly: when do you want to start doing it?. If you are able to reason about these questions, and their respective answers, then you are ready to lead a radical change in your life and begin to experience the joy of living a life where you have full control.

Now that you know where you are today, ¿where will you be tomorrow?

In the Face of Change

Hello my dear friends, it has been a while since our last meeting here and I hope you all have had a good time, living the lives you have chosen to live and which you create every morning, every hour, every minute, and even every second.

Change oh Change. It’s everywhere, we can deny it, we can’t ignore it, we can’t pretend its not there. It’s in the news, it’s at work, it’s amongst your friends and family, it’s at home and more than anything, within you and your life.




Everything is changing at a rapid pace whether we see it, like it, appreciate it or not.Now, change is constant, stable and necessary, most people consider it positive too but, do we really know how to handle it? I thought we could talk about this on this occasion.

We know that change is the only thing that is certain apart from death, we know it and still we fear it tremendously. In the face of change we go through what I call this little “amnesia” phase, where we completely forget who we truly are, what we have accomplished, how loved and supported by our loved ones we are, and we suddenly become this helpless, fearful, clumsy and lonely, tiny little person, who feels totally lost.

Uncertainty and anxiety take over and we no longer know how to handle things. We start looking for information, guidance and direction almost everywhere, we think of every possible person who can help shine a light in our doubts and concerns, people with whom you haven’t spoken to for years, even some stranger would do.

We look everywhere, everywhere but within ourselves. For is only you who truly knows all the variables, all the fears, all the desires, all the pros, all the contras, all the tools, all the doubts…who could possibly judge better? There is nothing wrong in looking for opinions, especially from the people who care about you the most, but you must know my friend, they won’t solve it for you and ultimately; they simply can’t.

So what do we do? We go back to what we already know: TRUST.
You know it, I know it; you must trust yourself. If you truly are the creator of your own life, if its you who has made every choice in your life, then you are the one responsible for creating this chance, this opportunity, for what is change if not an extra way on your road, one that offers a new road, with new possibilities and new findings. You can always choose not to follow this road and continue on the same path, it’s all about choices and what to do is totally up to you. If change knocks on your door, it’s probably the right time for you to consider a change, but in the end you and only you decide whether you are really ready to take it or not.

We can decide to waste time and energy worrying about it, or we can invest it on checking the possibilities. We can escape from it doing whatever we want to do, hoping it will go away, or we can face it and truly look inside ourselves searching for directions, searching for something that rings true, looking for the reasons that brought this change in front of our door.

Measure your options; look at your possibilities; get opinions if you will, but above all: make sure you ask and truly listen to the one person whose opinion really matter: YOU.
For no one else can live your life, for no one else can make your choices, for no one else can replace you.

Good luck with handling the changes that knock on your door.

Big hugs to all of you.

Anxiety and Crisis...

Dear friends, welcome once more!

I know this is not new, we see it on the TV, we hear it on the Radio, we read it on the papers: “This is a hard time”, “We are in recession”, “We are going through a Crisis”, there are different ways to write it, but the message relayed is the same, it is everywhere, doesn’t matter how hard we try to ignore it.

Are you already feeling the anxiety taking over, every time more frequently? It would surprise you to know the big amount of people feeling extremely anxious, feeling confused and lost, and this message, the one that follows us everywhere, only helps feed this uncertainty creating within us a kind of anxiety we had never experienced before.


I watch people and listen to them wondering for how long they will remain in their jobs, whether they will be able to pursue the career they dream of, whether they will be able to afford the school they want their kids to study at, and others wonder whether the life they lead now is still the life they WANT to lead, or if they should make changes…there is a big deal of confusion and uncertainty, and even though most people think they are alone on this, the truth is that more and more of people share this feeling.

As I ponder this I wonder; where is the self-esteem, the trust, the faith?, since when our lives’ destiny depends on the headlines and the ups and downs of the banks?, aren’t we all unique beings, with our own special qualities and talents, who stand in our own feet and everyday decide how we are going to live our lives? I have come to the conclusion that the trust in ourselves is the answer. Self trust is the only solution to beat this anxiety.

When you trust yourself, there is no room for doubts, you know you are doing the right thing, in the right place, at the right time, you know that you are a unique being and that you are here, living this experience, because of your own decision, and that you and only you are responsible for your life, for every decision, for every thought, for every word and for every step you take, and therefore; you and only you are able to decide what you want to experience, and more importantly: HOW you want to experience it.

How do you choose to experience this phase of your life? The times we are living in are different, chaotic for some, exciting for others, how do YOU choose to live this?, do you choose to be part of the side where everyone has agreed that this is a big crisis, difficult and tough, and so they are willing to suffer?, or do you choose to be part of the other side (the less crowded one), who believe these times are just the beginning of the change the world needs to re-start and create new and better ways, new and better systems, and new opportunities?

We can open the door to anxiety and allow it to be our guest, to control and limit us, or we can trust ourselves, trust that we are exactly where we need to be, trust that we are not leading ourselves astray and we can choose to turn every single day into a new personal adventure so we can rediscover the things that, up until today, we have been taking for granted. At the same time, we can look around, look at the people we care about and see how many of them are living with anxiety as their guest, surely they are more than what we now think. And we must not forget that the best way to help them, is by being standards, by setting the example in our own lives, showing them with acts that it is indeed possible to live in these times with a smile upon our faces. Love yourself, take good care of yourself, be patient and tolerant with YOU, and trust yourself, for nobody else will do this for you, and just by being at peace with oneself can one be a standard, an example and a beacon of light for those around.

I leave you with this small reflexion and I send each an every one of you a BIG hug!

May the light always shine upon you to illuminate your path!

A Memory Exercise

Hello my dear friends, residents of The Light Planet. I hope that you are all well and full of joy, enjoying your lives.

Today, while talking to a dear friend of mine -also an occasional resident of this planet-, I became aware of the huge amount of energy and time that we all spend criticizing ourselves, preaching and punishing ourselves because we feel we are not “good enough” and that we are not accomplishing or obtaining all that we wish for ourselves. But, How much time and energy do we spend congratulating ourselves, giving us a gift, or a nice pat on the back saying “well done”?


Why are we so good at criticizing ourselves, but when we do something right we merely accept it and soon we forget it?

I really believe that we should all do a memory exercise here, by looking back at your life 10 or 5 years ago, look at what your dreams were then, look at the things you wanted to accomplish or obtain, look at your hopes… I bet that you actually accomplished or obtained most, if not all, of the things you wanted then, which are now part of your present life. So, How many times do you remember this and you congratulate yourself for it?

Of course, I understand, perhaps all of that which you once wanted, is no longer what you currently want, but then; why punish or push yourself for not having NOW that which you NOW want?, why not simply trust that you are currently working to SOON obtain that which you want NOW?. If this little Memory Exercise proofs that you have actually obtained or accomplish some or most of that which you wanted at some point, what makes you think that you shall not continue accomplishing and obtaining anything you may want for yourself?, why should it be different now?, why don’t you just trust yourself?

Give yourself time, and please do give yourself a bit more credit my friend!

When facts prove effectiveness, you must trust that the results will continue being effective.

TRUST YOURSELF!

With this, I would like to invite you all to do this little Memory Exercise, to congratulate yourselves more, to be more caring, more loving, more patient and more compassionate with YOU.

Autumn Tree Leaves

Good day!
How are you? I hope its all well.

Here, at the southern hemisphere, we are starting to feel the arrival of the autumn, mornings are cloudier, the nights are cooler, the leaves of the trees are losing their green, and changing to a brown colour instead. Soon those leaves will depart from this life, to adorn beautifully our landscapes and open the door for the winter to come. In other words, we know those leaves will die, but the truth is that they are just closing a cycle, giving the next step, because life flows, everlastingly so, just as it should be.


This has got me thinking about all the things that die within us when summer is over. For many, the autumn and winter are sad seasons, during which they allow themselves to fall into deep depressions, for others these are periods of introspection, to spend more time at home or with their loved ones, and yet for others, this is simply another season, a new landscape to enjoy and experience in life.

If you could choose which “leaves” shall die from you “tree” during this autumn, to open the way to new branches from which new leaves shall be born; new talents; new dreams; new goals; new hopes; which “leaves” would you choose? Perhaps the fear to the new, or sad memories from the past, maybe those dark feelings for that one who made you suffer, the sadness you keep for those things you never got or achieved, or maybe to let go of those things/people you lost…I believe that, as the big, unique and beautiful trees we all are, we have way too many leaves, and perhaps this is the perfect timing to get rid of some of them, as if we do this, we will be able to create new, more colourful, lighter and more loving leaves for spring.

With this, I want to invite you to open your windows, allow the breeze of change to blow while we select those leaves, which have been with us for so long, half dead and finally let them go. Lets allow the autumn breeze to push them loose and take them to decorate new landscapes for as long as they last, creating so the room within us to create new beautiful leaves to show in Spring.

A BIG hug to each and every one of you, and tons of light to illuminate your path!

What is your Passion?

Hello again! Welcome once more to The Light Planet, this safe and quiet place that has been created for you, to take a break from your daily life whenever you need it, a place where you can rest and be enfold in energy and light.


Surely you have hear many times about “Passion”, in fact the word is used quite often, sometimes within a romantic context, others within a life story context, motivations, and even sometimes Passion is referred to as a goal, a destination.

This time I would like us to talk about Passion as we would of a fire that lightens our spirit, as the fuel that activates the motors of our imagination, giving wings to our creativity to soar up high and guide our actions, so we can create the necessary conditions to lead the life we want.

I feel particularly curious today, and I would like to know; What is your Passion?, Do you have more than one? How does your Passion look like?, What does it move within you?, Which decisions have you made guided by a passion or soul desire?

We all have Passions, some are more “Passionate” than others, or perhaps they just pay more attention to their feelings and desires, but eventually, we all have at least one Passion.

Passion can be, for some, that strength that comes out of nowhere, and makes us discuss a point of view rather heatedly, or inspires us to run a couple more miles when we are exhausted, to fight for an idea, a dream, to passionately battle for a beloved one, to create the perfect solution out of nowhere when everything seemed lost. To identify that which awakens our Passion, is to identify our Passion.

When we awaken our Passion, when we do something with Passion, we instinctively put the best of ourselves to work, we feel joyful, with our chest full of extra air, our heart suddenly feels bigger, no obstacle is big enough, no excuse is good enough, there is no reason that can stop us. When we “turn-on” Passion, we see no limits, there is nothing we can not do, nothing is missing, everything just seems to be enough, to adjust itself perfectly, and the satisfaction we experience when we are done, it’s indescribable, we can’t put it into words, it is more like a feeling, an emotion that enfolds us and lightens our aura.

Try to recall a moment where you have felt this way, breath deeply and try to go into that moment, visit it, re-live it, feel it…what was it about that moment that awoke you Passion then?.
Ahhh haaa…. There you go, you have found a Passion! Is that it, or are there more? Visit each and every moment you can remember and take note of each one in order to identify what situations, ideas, thoughts and feelings have motivated your Passion each time.

Use this knowledge from now on, to look for your Passions in your life, in your NOW moment, search those Passions, follow them, then create moments that include your Passions and soon you will see that everything you do becomes more pleasurable, lighter, clearer, more interesting, happier and funnier. Then you will be creating the life you want, with the experiences you want to live, creating situations where you will attrack to you the people you have been looking for, living and feeling that which you desire.

Look for your Passion, reach out, catch it….and don’t lose it!!!

Big hugs and until next time!
