In a world of mass confusion, our bodies and minds have a hard time assimilating and digesting all the information we are taking in. We have become subject to a constant bombardment of notifications, news, and information and this leaves many of us feeling hyper-stimulated and overwhelmed.

Without clarity, we move through our lives simply going through the motions rather than with a clear and defined sense of purpose.

When we get clear, we get more purpose-driven. And, when we live a life of purpose, we feel fulfilled, we feel content, we feel at peace 🕊

So commit to developing your focus and clarity through practices and processes that serve your highest good 💫

An artistic, expressive and authentic teacher, Ella's beautiful art (see below) has allowed her to witness the "the thaw" that comes through creating - whether it is art, movement, and/or words - all small acts divinely intentioned that she believes allows us to unlock what has been sealed.

As she explains, "Healing requires not force but space, a gentle warming, where flow can return."

No form of transformation happens instantly! One of the reasons why we don't achieve sustainable positive change is because we expect it to happen quickly. We expect just one move outside our comfort zone to have the same effect that disciplined, consistent endeavours would.

It is said that there is a point in the chrysalis phase where the number of cells in this state equate to the number of DNA cells that are vying for a new identity. It is ultimately not the outnumbering of DNA cells that leads to victory of the new identity but their persistence rather to gain victory over the chrysalis.

Our persistence to achieve transformation happen when we realise we can become the greatest, most beautiful and unstoppable versions of ourselves 🦋 Divinity hides in our very DNA ✨
