Where The Heart Stayed Open

Returning

Beautiful… these weeks have been… and it’s only now that I can say it.

Honestly, there are moments that feel hard, heavy, slow. But I’m learning that those moments are for presence. No judgement. Not a lot of analysis. Calm. Rest. Rejuvenation. A pause… a divine pause and reset.

And then… now, in this moment, it feels full, free, in flow. Life feels fluid and sweet. There’s vibrance, but also a gentle hum. Grounding, yet a soulful anchor. I love seeing how life holds these complementary emotions and moments at the same time.

The water is my friend. It’s become a dance with her, where it used to feel like a battle. The process feels smooth, in quiet coordination. Arms and legs moving to a rhythm. I feel my whole body… each muscle, the pull of my arms, the movement of my breath. It’s inspiring.

The key is to focus on your own movement. Pull it back into you. Back into sync with the natural rhythm of how your body wants to move.

Usually, I like to beat my time. But this time, my body spoke. The cramps in my feet weren’t so fun. But I listened. I slowed down. And instead of a finish sprint… it was a finish fish. I mermaided through the water. Playing. Creating shapes. Exploring my breath. Seeing how fluid I could become in the coordination of my body.

I’ve never felt anything like that before.

Coming home, the music moved me. The fluidity stayed within me, extending beyond the swimming pool. The car became a vehicle of flow. Perfect timing. Soft movements. The car felt like an extension of me.

And then I noticed something…

When I got home, I sat outside after settling, and my mind went back to a part of my life that tried to control me. My beautiful keyword… tries. Attempts. I’m still learning, but I can recognise how far I’ve come.

I felt the stark difference in energy. The flow and lightness… compared to the tightness, the anxiety. I recognised it within moments.

So I moved through the house with sage, cleansing, clearing my space. And slowly… the energy returned.

But the truth is, that energy is always present within me. Alongside the expanse of everything else I feel. It’s all here. Living in me. Waiting, under certain conditions, to be felt.

My mind showed me a heart monitor. The line reflecting my life. The highs creating peaks, the lows dipping down. There was a time when the movement between high and low felt constant, almost chaotic.

But now… the line dips less. There’s more balance. A steadiness. A steady beat, with natural peaks. And the dips… they come, but less often.

That’s what I’m moving towards.

Balance. Stability. Allowing the highs. Allowing the dips.

And I’m proud of me
