Spooky Season Is Here!

#affirmations

I am mentally here, as I am physically. My terrible thoughts do not define me. My terrible intentions do not define me. I am deserving of the love that is bound to come to me. My heart is still well-intentioned, I am still well-intentioned. My brain does not reign control over me. I am free, I am calm, I am happy.

Don't expect anything to happen. Just wait. This waiting is a deep acceptance of the moment as such. Nietzsche called it amor fati-unquestioning love of whatever has fated you to be here. You reach a point where you're just sitting there, asking, "What is this?" but with no interest in an answer. The longing for an answer compromises the potency of the question. Can you be satisfied to rest in this puzzlement, this perplexity, in a deeply fo cused and embodied way? Just waiting without any expectations?

Ask "What is this?," then open yourself completely to what you "hear" in the silence that follows. Be open to this question in the same way as you would listen to a piece of music. Pay total attention to the polyphony of the birds and wind outside, the oc casional plane that flies overhead, the patter of rain on a window. Listen carefully, and notice how listening is not just an opening of the mind but an opening of the heart, a vital concern or care for the world, the source of what we call compassion or love.

Be a stubborn ass bitch. Go into it KNOWING that your desire HAS to be yours. Accept no other outcome. Tell all your negative thoughts and fears to fuck off and literally just dive into it. LOA is a law and a law always operates flawlessly without question. I get that it can be a little bit daunting to abandon everything you used to abide by and rely on a concept whose authenticity you’re still not 100% sure of but just DO IT ffs. The law is your new bff and it is literally incapable of letting you down. You have nothing to lose and everything to gain so do it now. Be stubborn and don’t take no for an answer. 🤎🪐⚡️🪄

FIRE

Hay tanta energía fluyendodesde el centro mismo de su esencia, lava con la que cuenta por ser fruto del estallido de un milagro que brotó desde el magma que con ella se conecta.

Hija del sol, que como río corre por sus venas,que mezclada con barro le otorga la humildad de conectarse a tierra y tomar de ésta también parte del su herencia.
