Centred and Calm

Feeling and being in a calm and centred state is a wonderful yet often elusive feeling. The ability to feel happy, balanced and positive regardless of what's facing you externally because you have mastered your internal.

It is a learning process and it is through the events that happen to us that we grow in awareness of our progress.

For me, it's been a long and at times, arduous journey to master this. And at times, I thought it would be impossible because from a young age, emotions have been something that I have felt keenly and deeply. Joys, hurts, sadness, grief, heartaches... they seem magnified in my heart. And letting go of relationships and memories was something that seemed alien to me.

But life is about learning and there are tools to help us. I sought to be a better person. To be able to let go of non useful emotions. To master and be in control rather than allow emotions to overwhelm me like it used to in the past.

Slowly but steadily:
I learnt and became better at overcoming and detoxing non useful emotions.
I learnt to love and to let go.
I learnt to allow people the grace to change their minds.
I learnt to synch and move to flow

This makes life richer and more beautiful. It allows me to celebrate what's important and remain non attached to 'petty' stuff. And more importantly, it helps me to be more effective as a therapist and happier as a person.

Centre and calm. This is an achievable state of being.
