At the beginning of this year 2024, I made a commitment to myself. I will make all my decisions based on the guidance of my intuition, the inner voice in my heart that speaks to me softly yet directly to show me what is best for me.
It has been a long time coming to me to make this commitment. Ever since I left to live by myself to study in university, around 18 years ago, I have been on a deep self-exploration journey. The more I have grown, matured and seen the world, I have realized that it is my inner voice the one I can rely on the most. Nevertheless, it has been an uphill battle to give it enough space in my life to really learn the qualities, wisdom and love provided by this voice. Most of us in western society have learned to believe that only the mind and its ability to reason logically will lead us where we want to go. The need of our minds to control the outcomes and to have all the answers attaches us to logic and to believe that only what we see, and touch is what we get.
During these 18 years, I have allowed myself to play with the unseen world, and to discover multiple ways to connect with my inner voice, my intuition, the wise self within me. As I started to listen to it more and more, I dared to make some decisions based on this gut hearted feeling. It was not easy. It meant trusting myself in ways that made my rational mind go crazy and triggered my anxiety in the need to face uncertainty. Nevertheless, there was a stronger force within me guiding me to trust. Every time I chose to trust, unexpected and miraculous opportunities opened and were handed to me without the need to push or fight for it. The only fight was against the resistance of my mind.
Now, in 2024, I jumped into the abyss. After many years of training, learning about where this inner voice was coming from and listening to what it had to tell me. I took on the challenge to let this voice lead my life. What a crazy, daring, courageous decision, some have said to me. And yes, it requires guts to be able to do it. But it is also proof to myself that the old way of operating in which my mind had the reins was only letting me to many frustrations and disappointments. I felt my rationality was so smart and knew what ladder to climb and the steps to be taken to be successful and achieve my goals. But the feeling of unsatisfaction never ceased. I was still disconnected from what I really wanted to create as my life’s purpose at the bottom of my heart.
Every time I ignored my inner voice because my mind was being louder fighting to take the safe predictable path, I felt I was betraying myself. Then I realized, it is my heart that knows better, it has always known better than my mind. It is my heart that has been longing to be expressed and to play an active role in how I live my life.
Then, with all the discomfort that this experiment brings to my mind and therefore to my nervous system, I decided to dare to live from the heart space.
It hasn’t been an easy ride, but it has been a deeply fulfilling one so far. I have discovered avenues, found resources, built relationships, I couldn’t think were possible from my limited mind view. I have seen my life unfolding in ways I could have never planned with spreadsheets and structured agendas guided by my mind.
This path has led me to take the leap and build the kind of business I always wish to be a part of. To create programs and workshops for people to come together to learn and grow to contribute to the world in a way that integrates our heart and our mind, the fullness of who we are as human beings. The strength of my inner voice has led me to open my eyes.
I see that the current mainstream prescribed recipes on how to be a social innovator will only lead to perpetrating the same results in this obsolete system. I want radical change, I want radical compassion. I want to offer my own expression to support people who are ready to embrace their whole selves, so they can connect with their inner wise voice and create from a place of authenticity.
I dream to be part of a team and to facilitate the development of teams that co-create from the heart space. Teams in which each member is connected to self and empowered to express themselves so they can share leadership with others and let magic to happen as they allow for the collective intuition to guide their creative disruption.
From all the different methods I experimented with all these years, it was energy work through meditation and reiki that truly transformed me. Unveiling powerful truths within self by using energy and then anchoring this wisdom in the real world through collective reflections and coherent action is what I believe can make a radical difference in how we bring change to our system.
This is my contribution to the world, helping others integrate the knowledge of their mind with the wisdom of their hearts by connecting with their inner voice.
