Eye of Ara

I used to believe that I needed to constantly control my body to get it to fit an unsustainable, ever-changing ideal.

I counted calories to the point where even when I would try to stop, my mind would tally the up as I was trying to sleep.

I used to over exercise to the point of exhaustion, HIIT training at 5.30am and gym at 9pm at night.

How I spoke internally to my body was awful, I believed it somehow needed punishment and pressure - even at a subtle level.

The bottom line is, I didn’t trust my body. And after years of not trusting it, I forgot how.

Intuitively I could see that all nature exists within a natural harmony, that the intelligence of life - including the body - has its own wisdom.

I started to see into my patterns, and slowly begin transforming them.

Learning to trust my body’s messages. Meet it with love. Reattune to its natural wisdom. Stop forcing it to move against its own rhythm.

And when I did, the biggest paradox occurred. The body type I was chasing started to form naturally, without effort.

By simply being present when I was eating. Breathing deep into my body. Only accepting loving thoughts. Resting when I was tired. Doing fluid movement that actually felt energising.

When I look to society as a whole, I wonder how much mental energy is being wasted - by trying to control our bodies, our portions, our calories… rather than simply creating space to receive its messages?

If you don’t cut off the energy sinks in your life, you won’t have the energy that is required to build your vision and manifest a different reality beyond your familiar past.

If the weeds are suffocating a seed and stealing the nutrients, it can’t it grow and bare ripe juicy fruit 🍊

In the same way, it doesn’t matter how powerful your vision is - it wont have space to grow into the beauty and impact it is truly designed for if your awareness is trapped within outdated habits that do not serve the self that you are becoming 🪽

What energy sinks are you done with?

I was raised within a scientific, materialist household where humanity was an evolutionary accident, as was all life on earth.

In my teenage years my materialist worldview began to shatter spontaneously.

I realised I could see a whole other reality overlayed on top of this one - of light beings and energy patterns, I realised I could travel with my mind to distant times and spaces

I begin to see the material plane as only one aspect of our vast existence.

Science is not in contradiction to spirit, but it is just limited by the paradigm of consciousness that it operates within.

For as long as you accept the limited thoughts of the collective consciousness, you will experience a limited reality.

The moment you begin to accept a more unlimited truth, that is a clearer reflection of your true divine nature - you begin to open to experiencing dimensions of yourself that go far beyond your physical body.

Your body is wise. Intelligent. An incredible messenger. A home for your soul to experience the fruits of life within the material plane. It is your vehicle to achieve the supernatural.

But your physical body is only one fractal manifestation of your infinite existence.

And the higher truth? You are only as limited as you believe yourself to be.

How many little moments over the day do we get caught up in comparing our lives to others?

Imagine this energy compounding over weeks, months, years - a lifetime.

What if all this energy was reclaimed, redirected - and flowing towards creating the highest vision for *your* life?

The first step in achieving true freedom, is freedom of awareness.

So check the sinks that are draining it, and call it back into your lane darling ⚜️

This morning I woke up after another night tending my sick child, weekend to-do-list completely untouched, feeling far from what many would call their “higher self.”

But actually, to live in connection with your higher self has nothing to do with what most people think.

Your higher self is not some abstract distant concept that you can only access through meditation or ceremony.

They are with you always, and can be tuned into within a single thought:

💠 What would love do?

Sometimes this means honoring your word and intention, and sometimes it means sacrificing it to the higher priority of the moment.

Sometimes this means moving your body and expanding your mind, sometimes it means stillness and introspection.

Next time you feel your higher self is distant - remember they are you - the embodiment of the most expansive thought you can access within that moment.

Ask, what would love do? And act from this space.
