What I’ve Learned about Life and Elephants in Thailand

3 THINGS!

The Wide Awakening at the Elephant Reserve

I’ll post an amazing album soon, but internet at the elephant retreat is not so speedy…………

1. The grace that exists in elephants is truly an inspiration……and they are doing much more than they show us. Their effect on us has been life changing and felt in every cell.

2. The humility of the Thai people comes across in everything they do…….and the honouring of their culture by “covering up” with clothing, has been an amazing experiment in just being present to the human beings actual beauty, rather than perceptive physical. I like it.

3. Being of service is a vehicle back to our hearts.………and will absolutely support us in activating the truth of who we are…….and it teaches us more than we could ever teach!

No words……….took me 1 day to get accustomed to the amazing grace……..sigh………..after all these elephants have been through they still choose to love us and play……….

So so so much love! Our communion assisting at a local school to teach them English……….so heart opening!

“The greatest teachers have a grace and elegance that transcends words and they call us back from the deepest darkest places to be an agent of awakening. We then pay the awakening forward by embodying the same grace as best we can.” ~Jennifer Hough

‘Or betters’ present frequently when we simply remember ourselves as the embodied intention of everything we’ve ever lived in any life. They manifest when we remember our free will to choose, realizing our trajectory is the result of every past life, every desire, and every prayer you have ever prayed.

‘Or betters’ happen when you live like control is overrated. Understanding the resources of the omnipotent and omniscient Creation will deliver for you so far beyond anything your lovely (please don’t hate me) pea brain can intend is key. Your brain only accesses your history, the programs you learnt in school and paradigms you’ve created through the years, and who wants to ‘rinse and repeat’ that again?

Your greater Wisdom is constantly dancing with the trajectory you are on. You’re a living intention, without ever needing to use your brain to intend. Infinite Wisdom is in a dance with you, responding to your every thought and, perhaps ever more, to your actions. It’s responding to your life’s purpose. The thing is, you can’t mentally intend your way to an awesome life.

My two favorite words…

When our actions resonate with our purpose and we’re aligned with the Universe’s potential for us, it’s such an expansive feeling.

The feeling of expansiveness validates you are in flow.

The alignment with greater wisdom is translated through our body as feelings of ‘woo hoo’, ‘yes!’, goosebumps, or fun! It’s confirmation that we’re acting and thinking in line with our ‘highest and best’ life, using our skills and personality, creating in the most aligned way.

Being Happy 101

Apr 23, 2024

Being Happy 101 – With the next Flight School (our nine-month program) about to start, I’m aware of some pretty powerful insights about my own life, ten of them in fact!

One: Reacting to circumstances definitely leads to drama. Drama always takes me out of my knowing, distracting me from my connection with Innate Wisdom.

Two: My happiness absolutely cannot come from circumstances changing. My happiness must be accessible, regardless of circumstances. It cannot be dependent on how the world is, how the people in my life behave, or an expectation that everything should be perfect. Everything is becoming which, by definition, means it isn’t perfect.

Three: It’s not my job to carry the weight of the world. My job is to show up in love and compassion. It’s not my job to make other people happy but rather to learn to be grounded in my heart. It’s not my job to protect my heart but to emanate from the heart.
