Last week I spent 7 days at Château Frandeux, in the Ardennes.

I was working as a Kid Ninja (yes that is chocolate on my fingers 😆) for the Belgium Non-Violent Communication festival. And as intense and stressful as it was at times, I managed to sneak in some inner reflecting and soul exploration.

The line of questioning that arose for me during this time included;

How am I showing up in the eyes of the other?
Why is the content of my mind not aligning with the feelings in my heart and expression using my voice? How can I align them more?
And the biggest question was this: Where I my YES in all of this!?

It was an intense week, without a doubt, but within the chaos and overwhelm there was this strong desire to find a YES somewhere in the fog... even a small yes at first... a NO that changes to a YES. Or a YES that changes to a NO. All is welcome, and it was SO okay to have this validated by the beautiful women in my Empathy Group.

I spend alot of my time reflecting on others, seeing beyond the challenges and looking deeper in the patterns of others. Now it's my turn. To recieve shadow feedback (golden ones included 🧡).

Wondering how all of this will integrate over the next days...

Yes! I am all for this!

Even in alone space, all of this can be here. And in group setting - the space can adapt, change and flow with the needs and states of the other.

When creating space we learn how to take up space.

What kind of space do I want to create and fill up right now? Does the corner feel good right now to reflect in..

Does the open terrace meet me in my creative energy?

I love creating spaces, inside and out.

It's not all about WHAT you choose... but HOW you choose it.. 🧭

Maybe you're like me and you often find yourself in these "crossroad" scenarios. Never really having 2 feet on the ground, and in a casual current of choosing, debating, uncertainty and worry.

When we think of the Chariot in the Tarot, this card speaks to us of forward momentum, charging force, a "yes" card for whichever direction we are going toward.

However have you noticed that either side of the rider are 2 horses. One black and one white.

The wise rider, who maintains controls and mastery over his own life path must acknowledge and honour both the light and dark.

And there, in between, the middle way, lays Love.

So, it's not so much about what you are choosing to go towards, but rather how you are choosing. How are you showing up as the Chariot Rider, the one who decides the course?

Is it from a space of love? Or fear? Is the decision to go for something based on what you lack or what you desire? Are you willing to put in the required energy and effort to keep those horses in check, don't veer off the tracks.. not to slow and certainly not too fast.

Are you allowing enough patience and solitude to come to your own decision? Or is the decision process overwhelmed with impatience and panic - "must decide now".

At the end of the journey we all have to start again. No matter or how long or short that journey was.

Within us is the capacity to hold all options, all impulses and emotions and stand there in the face of adversity. Whether we are riding high or riding low. How we get to that physical choice is all part of the process.

There are no wrong decisions.

I'll leave it there.
Have a good day, riders!!
