Writing, Musings, and Teachings
As I began healing and tapped into feeling, I learned to express it through writing. I became acquainted to my creativity and channelled the expression of it through writing. I hope my words bring you solace, insight, remembrance and a sense of being known more deeply by yourself.
The Souls Path
I feel my soul stir, as I breathe in the early Autumn morning air.
There’s a deep gratitude in sensing its come back home.
Or perhaps, what blocked my connection, has left.
There’s still a quietness to it.
Ramblings on Earning Wisdom & the Gradual Path
I think a lot about this culture of quick results, self-appointed status and premature wisdom. I wonder about the wounds and their defence strategies that drive it. My soul desires the gradual path alongside mentors and elders.
On Toxic Wellness Culture & Developmental Trauma
When I was merged with toxic wellness culture I fed into the lie that I needed to be fixed. This led to me spending 10’s of thousands of dollars on programs, coaches, and healers because I believed they had the answers.
On Transitions
I’m learning to let transitions take as long as they need.
Rather than rushing through to avoid the discomfort of not knowing, I’m learning to let it be.
Rather than jumping into creation, I’m learning to linger in the questions without needing immediate answers.

Loneliness
Loneliness
A well of nothingness.
A hollow ache, pleading to be filled.
I’ve felt alone in a room full of people,
even those close to me, just as I’ve felt lonely be myself.
The Souls Song
My soul sings a song.
I can hear it in the marrow of my bones.
It’s a melancholy of remembrance.
When I pause to listen, I feel it inside of me.
The wanting of something that was.
A gentle yearning to unfurl all of my protective mechanisms.
To access her.
What If This Wasn’t Here To Stay?
And what if this isn’t here to stay.
But to guide me through.
That old part of me is afraid.
Afraid that it will pull me down with it’s arctic grip on my wrists.
Binding me.
I feel that grip tighten as my chest heaves.
Beware of Spiritual Bypassing
The term Spiritual Bypassing was coined by the Buddhist teacher and psychotherapist, John Weldwood in the early 1980’s. As defined by John, it’s the tendency to use spiritual ideas and practices to sidestep or avoid unresolved emotional issues, psychological wounds and unfinished developmental tasks.
