Hi Everyone 👋 Please send your healing energies to my angel YoYo🐶 She has been unwell since yesterday morning. She woke me early yesterday, and she couldn't find anywhere or any position to feel comfortable all day. She didn't eat, only drank a little water, and today she is worse, not moving, just sleeping. I've made an appointment to see the Vet later this afternoon 🤞🤞🙏

Hi Everyone 👋 I wrote a post many years ago that asked a simple, yet terrifyingly complex question: Where to Next? Back then, I argued that to change the world, we needed to bring out the "Big Guns." I spoke of listening, compassion, and forgiveness. It was a passionate plea, but in hindsight, it was a bit like shouting into the wind while standing in a hurricane. The world felt broken, and we were looking for a hammer. But a lot of water has flowed under the bridge since then. We've weathered a global pandemic that exposed our systemic fragility. We've watched the climate shift in real-time, from unprecedented wildfires to devastating floods. We've seen the rise of AI that challenges our very definition of humanity. The problems haven't gone away; they've just gotten more complex. And yet, the core question remains the same: Where to Next? But the "How" has changed. The "Big Guns" we need to bring out aren't political posturing, technological silver bullets, or even more money. Those are just tools. The real "Big Guns" are the fundamentals of our human psyche, and we need to level them up. 1. Listening is Not Passive; It's Reconnaissance. We used to think listening meant waiting for your turn to speak. Today, listening is an act of intelligence. It's about stepping out of our echo chambers and actively seeking out the "other side of the story" not to argue, but to understand the landscape. It’s reconnaissance for the soul. In a world of deepfakes and manufactured outrage, the ability to discern truth through genuine dialogue is our most sophisticated weapon against division. 2. Compassion is a Radical Act of Survival. Compassion isn't just a nice feeling; it's a biological imperative. The challenges we face—climate change, resource scarcity, future pandemics—are global. They don't respect borders or social status. To show compassion to someone across the world is to recognize that their survival is inextricably linked to your own. It is the ultimate act of self-interest, dressed in the beautiful clothing of love.

This art was done for a collaboration that took place in sound healing mastermind community. https://www.skool.com/fatima/about?ref=9bd0ebc6dbe24b75acd5a479f862c5ee I did the intuitive art for this. I absolutely loved this process and it was very empowering for me to share my art and art processes. https://youtu.be/3A4u8HDlScM?is=jXmLKHS1f3D7ie8p I am sharing this here to demonstrate my love of art and creativity. It helps me give a voice and an expression to a lot of intense emotions I experience. If you’re having a difficult day too, perhaps you could take a piece of paper and make your difficult day visible. Don’t make it pretty. Just let it be what it is. That’s the beauty of healing art, it doesn’t have to look a certain way, it’s purely for your benefit. 🩷💖🩷

Hi Everyone 👋 We have learned to ground ourselves in the body. Now we must talk about something we have all but forgotten... the practice of radical, unapologetic rest. My dearest friends, I remember the first time I heard about the Buddhist concept of Uposatha, days of renewed commitment to the practice, to letting go of the usual distractions. But more than that, I think of the simple, profound teaching of the Noble Silence. It is not just about being quiet. It is about stopping. Completely. A rest that is not a luxury, but a form of deep listening to the universe, and to ourselves. In the Buddhist tradition, there is a deep understanding that we are not human doings; we are human beings. Yet we have lost this. We have traded the sacred pause for the endless scroll. We have forgotten that ceasing our striving is not a failure but the very ground of wisdom. If you are exhausted, and I mean the kind of tired that lives in your bones, the kind that makes your very cells feel heavy, it is not a sign that you are broken. It is a sign that you have been running on empty for far too long. It is a signal from your own true nature, begging you to come home to yourself. And the only cure is rest. But here is the hard truth...most of us have forgotten how. We have unlearned the art of simply being. Even when we stop moving, our minds are still churning, still planning, still worrying. We lie down to sleep and the day replays on a loop. We take a day off and spend it feeling guilty for not being "productive." Rest has become a forgotten language. And it is time we started to speak it again. 𝗧𝗼𝗱𝗮𝘆'𝘀 𝗣𝗿𝗮𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗰𝗲: 𝗡𝗼𝗯𝗹𝗲 𝗦𝘁𝗶𝗹𝗹𝗻𝗲𝘀𝘀 - Choose a window of time. It might be an hour, a morning, or a whole day. Mark it as sacred. This is your retreat. A small monastery of one. - Build your container. Find a space where you will not be interrupted. Turn off the devices. Let the world buzz on without you. It will survive. Tell your loved ones you are stepping out of time for a little while. This is your permission slip. - Now, do nothing. This is the hardest part, isn't it? The mind will rebel. It will scream for a hit of dopamine. It will tell you that you are wasting precious time. It will try to convince you that you are lazy, that you are not enough. Your job is simply to sit with that noise. To let it pass through you like a storm. To practice, even for a few minutes, the profound art of letting the world be. - If you cannot do nothing, do something gentle. Do not mistake this for more productivity. This is about nourishment. Read a few pages of a book that feels like a hug. Walk outside and notice the way the light falls through the leaves. Drink a cup of tea as if it is the most important thing in the world. Cook a simple meal and feel the warmth of the stove. The only rule: it must feed your spirit, not your to-do list. - And just notice. What comes up when you finally stop? Is it guilt? A deep, unexpected sadness? Or a sudden wave of peace? Don't try to fix it. Don't try to push it away. Just sit with it. Let it be. This is the practice. - Then, return. When your time is up, come back gently. Notice how you feel. Has the world fallen apart because you stepped away? No. It's still turning. But maybe, just maybe, you are turning a little differently now. A little lighter. A little more whole.

Hi Everyone 👋 We have addressed the overwhelm, learned to say no, and found our rhythm. But now we must return to the most fundamental practice of all... coming back to the body. In all my years of working with tired, hurting souls, I have noticed something profound. We spend so much time in our heads, worrying, planning, analysing, ruminating. We are constantly thinking about the past or the future, replaying old wounds or rehearsing future conversations. And in the process, we abandon the one place that is always available to us, the one place that holds the wisdom we need.....Our bodies. Your body is not just a vehicle for your mind. It is a vessel of wisdom. It carries the history of every joy, every sorrow, every trauma, every triumph. It knows things that your mind has long forgotten. And it is constantly communicating with you, through sensations, through tension, through pain, through pleasure. But most of us have learned to ignore these signals. We push through the fatigue. We override the pain. We silence the voice of the body with coffee, with alcohol, with distraction, with the relentless demand to keep going. And the body pays the price. The stress that your mind tries to suppress shows up in your shoulders, your neck, your back. The grief you refuse to feel settles in your chest. The fear you deny tightens your jaw, clenches your stomach, constricts your breath. Your body is your most honest friend. It never lies. And it is always speaking. The question is: Are you listening? 𝗧𝗼𝗱𝗮𝘆'𝘀 𝗣𝗿𝗮𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗰𝗲: 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗕𝗼𝗱𝘆 𝗦𝗰𝗮𝗻 1. Find a comfortable position: Lie down or sit in a chair with your feet flat on the floor. Close your eyes. 2. Take three deep breaths: Inhale through your nose, exhale through your mouth. Let your body begin to settle. 3. Bring your attention to your feet: Feel the sensation of your feet on the ground. Notice any warmth, any coolness, any tingling. Just notice. 4. Slowly move your attention upward: Feel your ankles, your calves, your knees. Notice any tension, any tightness. Do not try to change it. Just notice. 5. Continue moving up: Feel your thighs, your hips, your pelvis. Feel the weight of your body sinking into the ground. 6. Feel your belly: Notice the rise and fall of your breath. Feel the movement of your diaphragm. Just breathe. 7. Feel your chest: Notice any tightness, any holding. Imagine breathing into that tightness, allowing it to soften. 8. Feel your shoulders: This is where many of us carry our stress. Notice any tension. Imagine your shoulders dropping away from your ears, softening, releasing. 9. Feel your arms: Your upper arms, your elbows, your forearms, your hands. Notice any sensation. 10. Feel your neck: This is where many of us hold our stress. Notice any tightness. Gently, slowly, roll your head side to side. 11. Feel your face: Your jaw, your cheeks, your eyes, your forehead. Notice any tension. Gently soften. 12. Bring your attention to the top of your head: Feel the energy at the crown of your head. 13. Now, feel your whole body: As one unified field of sensation. Feel yourself breathing. Feel yourself alive. Feel yourself present. 14. Stay here for a few minutes: Just being with your body, just being with your breath. When you are ready, gently open your eyes.
