Change is not always equivalent to a breakdown. Sometimes it merely signals a pause, a breather, a time to decompress, or even shifting tracks and areas of focus. • Notice when the rhythm of your life changes. Notice when things are moving faster or slower. When people start showing up more or showing up less. When you’re less ecstatic and more calm. Observe without judgement. Is there another tune that has to come forward? In music, it could be a guitar or a piano solo. In our lives, it could be focusing our energies on our heart healing instead of our career. • When we’re used to hearing the same old tune over and over again, we get comfortable. We grow numb. Sometimes, we don’t even hear the music anymore. We’re no longer moved. Until another tune plays. • Let the changes move you. Lean in. Listen. Get curious. What’s this new song saying? How is it making me feel? How am I being moved by this?

A few things to ask in times of fear and anxiety triggered by perceived uncertainty: 1. How do I feel in this moment? Can I locate this feeling in my body? How can I soothe this part of my body? 2. Have I been through something like this before? How did I rise above it? 3. How certain am I that this uncertainty will bring me what I fear the most? Is it possible to be certain that I’m uncertain, therefore, I can actually shift my perspective away from fear? 4. If a friend were going through what I’m going through, what would I say and do to support that friend? How can I support myself in a similar way? 5. Who can I ask for the support and perspective that I need? 6. Where else can can I draw confidence and hope from? • 📸 Photo by Leonie Reisberg

Two years ago, I was invited to speak about Synchronicities for Creative Mornings Makati. I spoke about the time when I left my job as a researcher and suddenly got an invitation to study yoga in an island. Back then, I was burnt out and all I wanted was to do yoga and to live away from the city. • What the audience didn’t hear was this: after my talk, I resigned from my current job—I realized I wasn’t on the right track. While writing my resignation letter, my laptop that I never set-up to have a screensaver, displayed moving patterns that looked like liquid auras. I knew that I was doing the right thing. With my resignation in full swing and my ego hurt for not fitting in a company I thought I could grow in, I meditated on a mountain in Sabah. I was confused and looking for myself again. • During these painfully magical periods, I had trouble closing loops. I had difficulties making things right with the people I left behind and resisted completely focusing my energies on healing work. It was exhausting. • These days, I look at these periods seeing what I‘ve missed completely: despite all the journeys I’ve taken to find myself, I was still avoiding running into myself. I was scared, confused, and insecure. It took another year before I fully dedicated my time and energy to being a healer. • If I were to speak about synchronicities once more, here’s what I would add: most of us consider synchronicities as signs from the Universe that we‘re on the right track. But here’s what we often miss: synchronicities can only take us as far and as deep as our willingness to meet ourselves. The depth of our human and spiritual experience can only go as deep as our willingness to surrender. We are always being ushered by the infinite ocean that is the Universe (which is, in every way, God). Resistance to who we are makes detours that may or may not be paved with good intentions. • I’m convinced: all the journeys we take in the many finite lifetimes we‘ll be living will always be just a journey Home to our true, Infinite Self. • 📷Solo traveling, relying on synchronicities and the kindness of strangers (Negros Oriental, 2016)
