Dear,

Thank you for letting my monthly newsletter drop into your inbox ✨

The subject line - Peace, clarity, happiness - points to something precious we all carry within us already. But we're trained to search for it outside of ourselves. The mind with its (learned from life) comparisons and comments on everything blocks the mellow, ever present peaceful baseline, like clouds sitting in front of the sun.

Sometimes happiness is

as simple as

allowing it.

The challenge is; to become aware of our inner patterns

and doing the conscious work - relaxing.

What can you do today to relax, open up, breathe deeply, freely,

look at the sky, and to feel the wind on your skin?

Open up the energy flow, widen the channel, remove the obstacles.

Arrange your life in such a way that relaxation can be your default.

Steer your life in that direction, step by step

and before you know it, you've taken a quantum leap

into happiness.

In order to 'open up', one might internally say to oneself: "What if..." - what if it all works out? What if I don't have to choose? What if it's meant to be that I'm just giving expression to my quirky, out of the box way of doing things?

Just beware of expectations, they're a one way road to disappointment. Because 'what if...' usually expresses itself in unexpected ways, with the most unexpected timing.

Tribe: back to belonging

The natural human is a social animal, yearning for genuine connection.

The concept of a tribe has kept on circling within me for a very long time. But I'm not a fan of crowds, there was an internal contradiction - to long for something, but not liking the vision of it as it initially appeared in my mind.

In many cases writing or speaking out the whole tangle helps, and brings clarity. This time too.

Want to see how it went? Read it here.

The joy of creating

I was thinking about talents and the joy of creating. About the quality that comes forth from talent, focus and the thrill of creating. And then, finally, about value. When I put those thoughts together I arrived at the concept of bartering - exchanging goods or services. Et voilà, next to the good old money exchange, the even older bartering has made a comeback!
