There’s some beautiful writing in there. Very inspiring.

I’ve spent over two years single after a very, very long relationship.

What I’m having to break through is intense. Many old habits. Some new ones. I’m making a lot of this time, but I can’t help think that there’s more, so I keep moving forward.

It means a lot, Laggy. Thank you so much for reading. Yes, stripping our identities and habits is uncomfortable, especially after being in a dynamic such as a long relationship. You are onto something that's for sure, you can feel it.

Can be difficult to be present, at times, but I do get to experience it. A lot of that presence is when I’m outdoors. Many reasons for that, but I’m thankful that I can “light switch” that. I’m a huge believer in living in an ideal physical environment. I’m in that environment and there’s endless possible places to explore. Super thankful for that.

Sounds like physical surrounding is pretty important to you to?

Yes, I promised myself years ago that I will always live in a beautiful place. I truly feel that beauty is healing.

This is the way. I fear a lot of people are stuck in the wrong place but don’t know it. I always was willing to make the changes necessary to be in my right place.

I have to be by mountains. There’s nothing like it to me. It’s healing to be a part of something so grand and massive. So many little places to discover. Endless refuge.

“Maybe the secret is to stop wanting and chasing, and know that what is meant for us will never pass us by?” - the most challenging kind of trust. I love that.

Thank you for sharing such honest words and feelings ♥️♥️♥️

So simple but so hard. Even if the Universe has proven to us already that we always receive what we need, we still crave things we don't have.

Thank you so much for such a mesmerisingly beautiful piece. I am in love with your metaphors, I want to fuel my pen with them, like with ink.

I also admire your bravery to follow your intuition despite everything and allowing things come to you instead of chasing them. I can appreciate it because many times in my life I have struggled with not pushing myself to do something, to realise something about myself, still do sometimes.

The best things come into our lives uninvited, unexpected, despite us looking forward to them, I am inspired by your ability to recognise that and to put it into words so skillfully and with such gentle sensuality.

Ah, Julianne, how wonderful is to read your words, you have not idea! (actually, you do ;) because you put pieces of your soul in your writing too!) Do you know that only when I was writing this piece I realised that the best things come uninvited and unexpected, like you say. And everything I pushed for - never worked, or 'still didn't happen' because it never mean to be the way my ego wanted. Here is to inspiring each other!

I'm glad my response to your work has found you. It's so important to let the writers know their work resonates with others.

I learnt this the hard way but I’m glad I was able to learn eventually

I know, Haruna, me too. I still have sparks of doubt sometimes, that maybe I should 'do something more', 'try harder'...but then I remember that as long as I feel connected, I'm good. Sending love to you. xxx

Hi Aaia.

Just discovered your writing after a comment left by you on a small Post from Julia Christina.

Your writing is absolutely gorgeous Asia and full of profound truths and deeply Intuitive advice that has most definitely come from a wonderful place of awareness and presence.

I live in Scotland in the UK now, but also spent the best part of twenty years living in the Swiss Alps previously before tragedy and circumstance returned my life journey to Scotland

Please keep up your wonderful writing, written from a place of deep understanding and awareness rarely communicated from with the clarity of vision that you have just demonstrated..

Blessings.

Mark.🙏

Hi Mark.

I hope you know how much your words mean to me. I'm truly grateful I could connect with you on such a deep level here.

Ah, life and it's experiences...painful or filled with lightness, or both at the same time.

I will be keep writing, I definitely will.

Thank you so much again.

And, as much we both love the Swiss Alps, Scotland is something else...is one of the most magical lands ever. Do you feel it too?

Hey Asia.

Yes Scotland can certainly be magical, but certainly very different than Switzerland in many ways.

Spent the last few hours since discovering your beautiful work by reading all your earlier Posts and Articles on Substack.

Your words are fabulous Asia and possibly remind me mostly of the greatest Irish Philosopher that most People have never heard of. The Wonderful John Moriarty who could regularly weave a magical tapestry of myths and experience to demonstrate a vision of a World rich in Spirituality.

He could without too much effort invoke fresh modes of understanding in his Audience as he made them aware of an other world eruptively device.

My new favorite Substack Author Asia.

No Doubt.

Mark. 🙏👍

This is just so beautiful, Mark. Thank you so much again. I cannot help but see the world and life through the lens of soul and I have a suspicion that this is just the beginning. Happy to connect to you here, Mark!

Also meant to say Asia. I do really get your connection through the lens of Soul. Although I would possibly have identified initially as a Climber and Climbing Guide in the past, (Hence my link to the Swiss Alps) I have spent many years working on Energy Work on the plain of Pure Being, through the Taoist Internal Energy Arts of Qi Gong, Tai Chi Chuan, Zing Yi Quan and Baqua Zhang and I am also Shamanicly Trained so I just really get the Beautiful Soul connection in your Work, Art and Writing.

From a place of focused presence and deep introspection.

Magical. Mark. 😇🙏🔥

We only see in others what we have in ourselves. :)

A further little Poem for you Asia from the Lips of Moriarty that I think is relavent to your Soul Journey and Direction.

"Clear days bring the Mountains down to my doorstep,

Calm nights give the rivers their say,

The wind puts its hand to my shoulder some evenings,

And then I don't think,

I just leave what I'm doing,

And go the soul's way."

That previously comment by me should have said, " eruptively devine" & not eruptively device. Makes a little more sense now. 👍🤣

It means so much to hear it, Elizabeth. Thank you so much. And yes, Dolores Cannon and her legacy, right! From the first page of The Three Waves of Volunteers and The New Earth I felt that I somehow belong, and I'm not alone. And I knew that I'm going to practice QHHT right away!
