Natacha Dauphin's holistic books, offerings, teachings and creations
Author:Natacha
This is me, excited to capture the mysteries, wonders of life through song, photo, video, writings - trying my best not to put them in a cage. Embracing darkness - for at her heart lie profound gifts, and allowing the light to shine through - for even in the most challenging moments, the flame is always lit.
I am French with Italian, Portuguese, Narragansett and probably a lot more of other spices blood!
l presently live in the UK where I work as a voice/singing teacher and therapist.
All songs, photos, writings, videos on this blog 'created' by myself unless otherwise stated.
There is a sacred space in which time no longer exists as such, in which the flavour of eternity and unconscious memories dances with the perfume of today’s visions and dreams.
In this space: mirrors, reflections, light, darkness, ripples… creation. I will rest here for while….
Life is presence, movement, change and most of all mystery. No beginning, no end. An uncanny burst of scented stars.?
‘Dreams…’ is my second little homemade video. ?
Original song with Tibetan bowl, Indian tampura, cow bells, ankle bells and voice. ? I recorded it sitting on the floor of the front room, singing and playing to the flame of a candle.❣️
Montage made with snippets taken on my walks in Yorkshire UK and some reflections in the river Ouse in York at night. ?
Where do your wonderings/wanderings take you??
“Dreams of an Ancient Time
Dreams of an Ancient Land
Dreams of an AncientWound
Dreams…
I gaze through the window of my heart
It looks unto my soul
Such soft whispers
Such sweet whispers
Birthing the vision of a better world”
As human beings we are blessed with the ability to connect, interact, communicate and share with one another. We are also blessed with the precious gift of being able to stand and be on our own – which in itself is invaluable to the process of coming home and reconnecting with one’s essence, visions and dreams.
I love people, I love spending time with them but I also crave moments of solitude that allow me to become one with what is, that encourage me to seek deeper, to travel further into the mysteries of life, the unknown and the unexplored.
Renewing one’s commitment to dream, believe, live, create on a daily basis is essential to one’s path and being. In order to do so we need to give ourselves and each other space. Space to be, to allow, to heal, to welcome and to blossom.
Only then can we truly share.
One needs silence in order to hear, unconditional presence in order to fully incarnate and emptiness in order to create.
With this in heart and mind, here is my first song sharing:
So here I am, having set up this blog and writing my first post – knowing nothing about computers, having owned one for less than a year and usually writing with a felt pen, in a yummy, colourful notebook !!!
I woke up last Monday with the absolute certainty that I needed to start a blog and create a lush space to share with you and show the universe my commitment to walking and living an authentic, inspired and creative journey and life.
There is no right or wrong way when it comes to HONOURING YOUR CREATIVE FIRE.
Fragile Beauty – Well of Creation
The fear, the shame of mistakes and imperfections cannot win when one’s heart, soul and body are in agreement with celebrating the authentic you and the divine gifts of life and inspiration. This does not mean that the path is always easy; there will be inner battles, you will doubt, fall and sometimes feel completely empty. This will happen and it is OK.
I have no idea how I managed to set up this blog, apart from googling, finding helpful information and the sheer trust that there was no way out and that it just had to be done- for reasons beyond my conscious knowing! This is proof that anything is possible!!!
If there is one thing that seems to repeatedly prove itself true and essential, it is the importance of noticing and embracing these little flying moments of grace. These moments when your intuition catches onto something magical and dances with such enthusiasm and excitement that your whole being wakes up in ecstasy. This is what you should never ignore, never suppress and never allow anyone else to shoot down. If there is any part of you longing to allow your inner flame to grow and shine, this is what you should surrender to and commit to following even if you have no idea why or how – especially if your gremlins pop out and start their little chorus of ‘but, no, you can’t possibly, you’ll never…’ 😉 Just sing or scream louder!
Allow yourself to be a POET OF LIFE in whatever way your being hears this and chooses to express it. YOUR CREATIVE FIRE is ALWAYS there within you; even when it has gone silent and dim.
Know that, keep repeating it to yourself until you start believing it. Trust me, your creative fire NEVER leaves you. It is just waiting for you to take a step, however small this step might be.
