But I have still been feeling a little discombobulated due to some jetlag, some very sad losses, this epic British weather, and that strange pressure to be in the “New Year, New You” energy when actually it’s freezing and my body wants to curl up like a hedgehog and hibernate until April (which apparently in the 13 year calendar is the true start of the year and also synchronously is the launch time of my Goddxx Path & my other programmes!)
So today I thought I would bring some sunshine by offering some star musings from Mauritius (and because it feels good to stay with those memories as long as I can!).
Whilst I didn’t disconnect completely from what has been happening in Gaza, I did disconnect from online spaces and from Christmas… it was nice to get away from the pressures I have felt in the past at this time of year to do small talk, buy gifts, people please & instead be in my heart & this unfolding love… and to reflect on liberation away from consumerism (& instagram) in this time (where global oppressors are ignoring the will of the people). I also felt the awakening of the global consciousness that is saying no to genocide & oppression and I felt (and continue to feel) hopeful. 💔
We stayed in different places over the three weeks from family homes to two-star and a beautiful five-star hotel and I mused over my different behaviours based on beliefs of whether or not I thought I belonged in each location: how that affected how I thought & felt & perceived others… and perhaps how they perceived me too. And I realised that it really doesn’t matter… I belong everywhere when I carry HOME in me & follow what I would love.
I found myself thinking of The Principle of Polarity: of definitions based on opposites versus being in awe and wonder… we can’t always guarantee others’ perceptions of us: sometimes they will see what they want to see… define us as good and bad and right and wrong… and likewise we may do the same to ourselves and others… when how do we really know and define? And why are we deciding that?
What we can have though (as I learnt in Mauritius), is integrity. We can show up with our heart full and as our whole selves, and we can choose to be a star no matter how many stars a building is given or others give us!
When I realised that, I was most abundant in each space (from 2-5 stars) because I had my whole HEART and needed nothing to fix me (and nothing could affect me either)… does it resonate?
Synchronously, this week, my coach and I did a JOY, Illusion, Bridge (as explained in my book Journal to JOY) on one of my choices about working with an amazing team, and the bridge was about keeping it professional: not being distracted by my identity. In my illusion (my identity) I had been resolving the tension by people pleasing and then getting distracted with inessential actions to make my team happy, instead of focusing on the vision that I would love with the support of an amazing team… he said to me, “Ella, focus your energy on being the creator: let yourself be the star that you are…stop avoiding that and feeding the energy of not being good enough”… POW! Those words ring so true! 🌟
So I leave you with this !
This year, can you be the star that you really are no matter what anyone else (or you!) tells you: from 1-5 stars, can you let your heart shine bright and express your authentic truth my love? 🌟
And… because it all starts with music & dance, I would love to leave you with a wee Sega playlist (one of the main styles of music in Mauritius) HERE! Plus HERE you can catch the amazing Rylana Hosany showing me how to play My new instrument: a ravanne. It’s beautiful!
