What is Awakening, and how to navigate it?
I like the term 'Awakening' to describe our spiritual evolution. It evokes a feeling of freshness and an unexplored reality, like the effortless blossoming of a flower . The territory of awakening is vast, to walk as an unfolding movement, with no final aim or specific identity to attain, as it extends beyond what we imagine possible . Awakening is the process of becoming aware and conscious , yet it cannot be adequately described in words because it is an experience. Many s


Self-Empowerment: a Solo Journey
Although my passion has always been spirituality and the inner psyche, I have recently developed an interest in history and current socio-economic realities. It is undeniable that we have a history of dominance and oppression , with just a few examples including the Zar empire, the Western colonisations, and modern billionaires’ capitalism. Beneath the neat organisation of our numerous institutions and a veneer of civilised speech and conduct, we observe the workings of a


Drop the Need to Have an Identity
There are crucial moments in life when you suddenly shift something profound inside. I recently had one and felt so exhilarated afterwards! I met a mystical She-Buddha healer, and during a session, she suddenly said to me: ‘You must release the need to be understood! Let it go now, and forever!’ The immediate response was a sense of lightness, like a big offload. My Soul is too vast to be understood! I cannot even comprehend it myself! At the same time, I released a lot of


When the Centre Does Not Hold: Reclaim your Power
The word 'Awakened' suggests the state of being lucid, alert, and aware. It reflects being fully present in the body, with an energetically focused consciousness . In reality, we all sometimes feel scattered, fragmented, or drifting , both in our conscious, waking state and in our unconscious, multidimensional existence. Regarding this last point, many teachers, including Seth, discuss the Soul existing beyond the here and now, simultaneously in past, future, and parallel


How to heal the ‘You Don’t Love Me’ story
So many heartbreaks mark our existence. ‘You don’t love me’ is projected onto family, friends, lovers, teachers, colleagues, clients, followers, organisations, the government… And when we scream out our ‘you don’t love me’, the universe reflects them all back! The grief or the heavy heart is undeniable and difficult to shift. Positive thinking does not always help, nor does breathing out the negative feelings. I often speak about connecting to our Deep Self, the ‘I am pre


Calm Grace
In this article you will learn a simple model and a meditation to access your core of calm grace. A warm feeling of comfort in my heart, a nurturing stillness. Calm grace. The feeling of pure existence. In every fiber of my being I feel safe and held, loved and protected. The world around breathes in slow motion and I breathe slowly too. Long slow alert breathing. Blissful waves of relaxation ripple through my body, my mind still. Kindness is flowing in and out of my heart. M


Personal Power with Responsibility
Personal power is connected to responsibility. I am going to look at power as our ability to respond to what is needed in every moment. Response ability. In the flow of life I engage and respond to what is unfolding. In this current I hold the rudder though, which is the direction I want to go towards. I connect to my centre within, as my inner source knows the direction and lights my fire whenever action is needed. When my father fell ill in 2016 my fire moved me. I suddenly


Self-Esteem: a practical and spiritual approach
Everything is coming and going just like clouds in the sky. Mooji PRESENCE AND CONNECTION I remember attending a course on self-esteem in my late twenties. At one point the facilitator asked the group to give a definition of self-esteem. Suddenly he pointed his finger in my direction for an answer. At that moment I was a little absent, blank, my mind sort of empty ….. so I just looked at him without answering … breathing … in silence … and he said: this is self-esteem! After


L’arte del Ricevere
Mi fermo e al centro del mio essere mi apro a ricevere l’infinito amore e abbondanza dell’universo Questa e’ la mia breve riflessione oggi, sul ricevere. Per ricevere bisogna prima fermarsi e svuotarsi. Lasciare andare questo muoversi compulsivo, questo fare di continuo. Mi rendo conto inoltre, come spesso diamo per ricevere in cambio, per essere amati. Essere amati incondizionatamente e’ invece un nostro diritto divino. Da un punto di vista pratico, per potersi esprimere, bi


Accetta Te Stesso
Il mio ultimo blog parlava di stare al centro del nostro essere, energeticamente nel chakra del cuore. Il mio manifesto del momento e’ coerente: l’accettazione incondizionata del Se’ ci porta al centro. Quando accettiamo noi stessi e la nostra unicità i vantaggi sono molteplici: Siamo in pace nell’anima e nel corpo. Diveniamo il leader della nostra vita. Ci sentiamo connessi con il mondo, con il web of life. Essere se stessi, essere autentici, essere reali……senza compromessi.


At the Centre of your Being
I started writing this blog in the spring of 2016, before moving back to Italy the following July. Little did I know I had to apply fully what I wrote about, to be able to go through this very stressful time. Indeed the main news is this: I left much loved England to set up residency in Milan, to care for my father and to follow my Soul calling me back home. I sold my flat, left my day-job and parted from friends, family and colleagues in England. With no anchors and little p


Make Love, not War
I heard someone saying “Enlightenment means there is no difference between Inside and Outside”. When I am in fluidity, expansion and deep stillness I can feel this. We are all moving towards a ‘We are One’ consciousness. Yet sometimes I still find myself more at war with people than in love, reacting to difficult, irritating behavior and emotions in others. To be able to hold a ‘Peaceful state of Oneness’ I have been learning how to master my negative Ego, silencing my anxiou


Family of Light
I have just come back from an amazing Life Alignment retreat with Jeff Levin. Energy medicine is really the future! And what I want to share specifically is my personal experience with the Family of Light. I have always believed that we are not alone. I remember countless rituals invoking gods, goddesses or archetypal elemental energies; or meditations connecting with angels, masters and other light beings. As a daughter of a surgeon and from an atheist background, a part of


Crown Chakra Experiencing the Absolute
The best way to know about the chakras is through experience, by learning to feel them in our body and understanding them in our own awareness. In the autumn I have attended a residential Crown Chakra workshop with Jeff Levin, creator of the Life Alignment system. It has been an intense experience and the following is what I learnt. Working consciously with the Crown chakra opens the way to Self-Mastery. Self-Mastery is over the Ego Mind that blocks our connection to Source,


Body, Earth and the Mother Goddess
I want to talk about the Body and Earth Mother Love. Close your eyes for a moment and tune into your heart, breathing in and out. Tune into your belly too, drop your attention there. Put a hand on your heart and a hand on your belly and just breathe. Recall now the feeling of a soothing primal bonding, deeply relaxed in your body, you are enjoying the nourishing embrace of physical love, a warm heart connection, the feeling of your heart being opened and at peace. This nouris


Surrender, Flow and the Power of the Feminine
Imagine flow for a moment…silence and soft breathing….a peaceful rhythm, maybe you are in nature…the sea…wind in the trees. Slow down…allow stillness to arise from within. The body is relaxing deeply inside….you are letting go….of tension….surrendering. It’s peaceful inside. Now let’s plan! Goals and resolutions, lots of them, a long list of things to do, the mind wants to do so much…and not enough time, not enough energy…Can you feel the stress and the anxiety arising within


The Mystery of Love
I want to write about love and, as a woman, this will be very much influenced by the Goddess’ way of loving. In the psyche of both men and women feminine consciousness loves through unrestrained passion and creativity. My journey in exploring the mystery of love has been tortuous at times and my heart has experienced both bliss and excruciating longing. All my life I have been looking for love, being loved and loving, that feeling of warmth and connection with people; in inti


What is Energy Healing
When I tell people I am an energy healer I always detect a slightly alarmed response on their part. The connection is lost for a moment and we enter an uncertain territory, myself included. The dilemma is that, although I am an energy healer, I am also a pretty practical person, raised in a scientific environment and striving to understand the world with my mind. I am spiritual and I embrace the sacred in all things but I am also materialistic, I appreciate concrete results a


A New Feminine Consciousness
A new feminine consciousness started at the beginning of the century with battles fought for the affirmation of basic women’s rights and continued with the cultural revolution of the sixties, trying to overcome the victim mentality of a subdued type of woman, who lived in the shadow of the family life without social, creative and sexual identity of her own. There are many archetypes of women energy, whose symbols can be found in literature, psychology and religion, which desc


What is Shamanism
Shamanism is the oldest spiritual path on the planet and yet follows the most modern laws of quantum physics and energy healing. Ancient shamans from many parts of the world knew that everything is Spirit, energy consciousness, and that there is no separation between the inner world and the universe around. Shamanism teaches us to connect to Spirit within and in all things around to draw power and to manifest our life consciously. Shamanic healing is based on two core princi


Shamanic Dreaming
Shamanic dreaming is accessed through the experience of the shamanic journey, which is simply about going within in an expanded state of perception. I have worked with clients who knew nothing about shamanism and I have seen them journeying easily and accessing deep transformation. So what is shamanic dreaming? Shamanic dreaming is based on the principle of physics that all is energy and that we are not separate from the living field of the universe. Beyond the physical body,


Soul Loss, Energy Invasion, Shadow
Shamanically we lose power in three ways: in case of Soul Loss, in case of Energy Invasion or when we disconnect from our Shadow. Soul Loss Soul Loss happens through emotional or physical traumas, when a situation was so overwhelming that the only response was to disassociate from the body. These split-off parts of soul essence are lost in the unconscious and leave a painful sense of incompleteness, of undefined longing or even numbness. A very common example is the inner chi
