Q&A
I've had this blog for almost five months now, and I thought it was time for my first Q&A. Thank you for all your questions, and for wanting to get to know me better.
Favorite books?
Holy mother aya, there's so many. The monk who sold his ferrari, wild power, pussy, many lives many masters, same soul many bodies, quiet, breaking the habit of being yourself and the alchemist to name a new.
Best journey ever?
The journey from the mind, back to the heart.
Are you highly sensitive, and when did you find out?
I think I'm the definiton of highly sensitive hahaha. I found out about the trait "highly sensitive" about 5 years ago, but I think I've always known intuitively that I was somehow different, much because of my rich and complex inner life and my many and often times overwhelming emotions. High sensitivity is a normal trait found in about 20% of the population, in which their brains and nervous system processes information and reflects on it more deeply and thus they are highly aware of subtleties most can overlook or not think much of. Like many others, I felt liberated when I realized that there was nothing wrong with me and that what I had was merely an awareness of sensations, noises, and emotional queues that goes much deeper than most people. Being highly sensitive has became one of my superpowers, and I wouldn't exchange it for a thing.
Your words are magical, have you always loved writing and do you see yourself as a writer?
Thank you so much. I love words, and I love to express my feelings and thoughts through them. I've never seen myself as a writer, until recently actually. I got a few comments telling me that I was a great writer, and one girl even told me that the best poets are the ones brave enough to write the truth in their hearts, referring to me, and I thought "yes! That is me!" Art and poetry has always fascinated me, and I think I might have a little inner poet. I write poems all the time, and I even have a secret instagram account where I publish some of it. We're all born artists you know.
What's your favorite beauty products?
Oils. Argan, olive, rosehip, almond, coconut and essential oils. I carry different blends with me wherever I go.
Which health issues are your currently struggling with?
Estrogen dominance, hypothyroidism and most likely endometriosis. All hormone related, so no wonder why I'm such a hormone freak huh.
For how long have you been practicing yoga, and when did you start teaching?
I've been practicing for almost five years, and teaching for three. Yoga for me is a way of life. Yoga is healing, presence, inner peace and me learning to love myself. I've promised to write about my yoga journey, and I will!
How many horses do you have?
Two. One in this dimension, and one who lives among the endless fields in our heavens.
You seem so balanced and at peace, how did you manage to find your calm?
Balance is, and have always been an issue for me. My polarities are everything and nothing which manifests in everything I do. Despite this, I believe I have a calm, centered center inside of me, which grows stronger as I learn to know myself better. I've had my dark days, which somehow forces you to meet yourself completely naked, and although it's tough, I've gained a new sense of trust in myself and a higher awareness of my own being. I know what's there. What's in me. I don't mean that you have to go through trauma or hardships to be balanced or at peace, but that getting to know yourself and to peal of the layers, and get in touch with your core self, your soul, your values and who you truly are would make a big difference. To be at peace with yourself first, because if you know and trust yourself, and your ways, and have already touched your center, it's easier to return back there when a storm is in the horizon. I'm still struggling with finding the whole spectrum though, and not leaving it just to black and white, but it's hard, because I don't know what grey is, I never did.
Intentions for 2018?
Self-love, self-care and creating my own business so that I can help people heal.
