Stop All Criticism, First Way To Love Yourself

Stop Criticism

Today I was speaking with a beautiful girl and I was shocked to hear how much she hated her body because it is not the 90-60-90cm. The Vogue magazine and the modern society dictates how the body of a woman should be. She told me how much the opinion of other people matters and how some time she cries in the night because not everyone thinks she is lovely, clever and pretty. More...





It Is Only Us

Last month I was giving a chat, so I decided to explain why I was so excited about the football world cup. It seems that my message touched the heart of more than one person, so I was asked to put my explanation in writing.
Time passed, I lost interest in football and joined the people who could never understand what the excitement was about. But this year, after so many, my mother country Colombia qualified for the world cup. A good friend, who lives in England, organized a giant screen in her house to watch the first game with the small Colombian community in the area. More...


Christmas is Love to Share

Christmas is love & peace

The celebration of Christmas always started on the 16th of December and went on through every night until Christmas day. We use to get together, doors open to everyone who wanted to join us. We prayed around the nativity, then we sang carols, we sent Chinese lanterns to the sky, we had fireworks, we danced and drank and ate but the most important thing, we shared as a family. We shared with everyone who wants to share and we celebrated deeply the birth of peace and love in this world. More...


I Love My Winters

clear your mind & soul

Today I had to push myself to go out. The sky was grey and the cold wind was crashing into my windows. What a beautiful experience!! … the lake was like a mirror reflecting the sky and the trees without leaves. I walked feeling the cold wind in my face and enjoying the view. How wise is nature! It looks like everything were sleeping, preparing for spring. I thought about my life and how, like in nature, it is important that we live the winter as a preparation for the music and colours of the spring. More...


A Challenge or an Opportunity?

Challenge of Energy and the Universe

Today I was thinking of all the moments in life we feel challenged. When someone we love is suffering. When we lose someone or something we love. When a friend or a member of our family is ill or dies. When we hear about a disaster somewhere and we feel we can not do anything. In all those moments it is very easy to let ourselves be surrounded by sadness, despair and fear. All those feelings are natural reactions of humans when we feel limited, impotent to do anything to change what is there in front of us. More...



The Present Moment

Miracles change the present

This month is my birthday and I remember when I was young how much I wanted the time to run faster so I could be a grown up and have the power to do what ever I wanted. Later in life, I started to be worry about how quick the time was passing and how I was ageing without doing a lot of the things I was dreaming to achieve. Now, I arrived to the wise age:-) : There is no hurry for the time to pass, it is not a worry that there will not be enough time. More...

The sun is still there

The Sun, The Universe and Peace

This morning I was feeling very relaxed and happy, I was busy organising everything for the session of one of my lovely customers. After I finished and put the candles on I had a minute to check my phone only to find out she could not make it. I smiled and thought, well, the universe is giving this time to myself. More...


Why do I love Autumn

Vibration

When I arrived for the first time to this country many years ago, it was Autumn. I came from a city where the weather was always warm, the trees were always green and there were flowers everywhere all year long.

My heart was full of expectations and I wanted to explore the old continent, but the cold wind was punishing my body very hard and even though I was wearing 3 layers of clothing I could barely be outside of the flat. After a week looking around London from the very limited vista of my bedroom window I got the courage to go out to explore the famous Hyde park. More...



Open to prosperity

Vibration and Miracles

Prosperity is a big word for a lot of people and it has multiple meanings depending of the person and the culture. For some people prosperity means money, for others it means career success, good health, plenty of free time, happiness, etc.

For me, prosperity means to be happy and allows me to receive all the abundance of the universe manifesting in material things like money, properties, holidays, clothes and so on.. and non material things like health, love, friends, peace, happiness, etc.

But how can we get prosperity in our lives? More...



Freedom = Love

Freedom, love and peace

Today I read the follow quote: “I want to be with someone who does not need me for anything and wants me for everything”

What a liberating statement!!

I was educated in a society where our value was given for the level of needs of the people around us. I heard phrases like this so often; “I can not go away because my husband needs me”, “I can not die yet, because my children need me”, “I can not cry or grieve because my family needs my strength”, “I can not say no, because they need me”. And when the realisation that people do not really need you, expressions like this appear; “I do not know what to do with myself, my children do not need me any more”, “he does not need me, so what is the point to be together”? ”They do not mind if I say not, they really never care about me”. More...



Secrets of Life

Joy, love, peace and energy

JOY IS THE SECRET

The universe does not listen our words, the universe understand our feelings!!! they create a vibration which attract more things of the same vibration into our life, it is the law. If you want more happiness, more abundance, more love... look for reasons to be happy, do things that you enjoy, give the attention to the good and life will give you more of that!! More...
