My article for ROAR magazine

I am super excited and honoured to be part of the June issue of this wonderful magazine. It is coming out tomorrow, June 5th 2020 on the Full Moon and Eclipse. Here are the first couple pages of my article.

You can subscribe to the magazine for $4 per month. Each issue is filled with so much yumminess, incredible women, stories and photography. Here is the website if you would like to check it out: http://www.fiercefemininerising.com/

These are such intense times, in so many ways. Please let’s try and be kind to one another. May we put effort into not judging how others are sailing their boat at the moment. Everyone is doing their best. Most of us are relearning how to breathe and live with deeper wisdom, compassion and integrity, in our own way, in our own time.

It may not always look like it.

But it is happening.

This morning, I wrote a post on social media:

“The waves are huuuge at the moment and we all have our unique way of navigating them. There is no right or wrong way, and even less of a perfect way to be feeling, doing, thinking. 
What we do need is to connect to our heart and let it lead the way.
More than ever I feel I have no answers. 
What I do know with certainty is this: each one of us carries within himself/herself a wound AND a new seed.”

This quote is an extract from my book ‘Letters from the Wound’.

Take loving care of yourself and each other.

With all my love, as always

Funding Campaign until end of August

Well this has been quite a summer so far and I haven’t managed to write here as regularly as I had anticipated.

It seems important, however late this is, to say that I have been running a funding campaign to publish my 3 books of poems, affirmations, incantations, prayers, inspirations or whatever you may call them! Well actually, life had other plans for me and although I did put a lot of time, effort and energy into my campaign initially, I had to surrender to some extent, and let it run itself.

I am so deeply grateful and touched by people’s support, love and generosity. Isn’t it amazing how as human beings, we can and will help other people’s dreams and visions come true…

In these challenging times, when the Earth is crying, when politics show little integrity and personal circumstances are not the easiest, it is important to remember that as human beings we are capable of beautiful things.

Here is the link to my campaign if you would like to contribute, choose a gift or just have a look. You will find more about the journey of the 3 books, the perks I am offering and – you will meet Georgia in the video. https://igg.me/at/NatachaBookFunding/x/22004064#/

With much love, always, Natacha x

‘The Mountain’s Guest’ (original song/video)

There are times in your life when you feel you have so much to say and yet nothing to say – almost as if you had reached a bit more of the essence of what is and therefore have no words to describe it. I guess this illustrates in its own way the awesome and uncanny ambiguity of being a human being.

I have come to the conclusion that I am fiercely independent – with a twist! ;o) I love people but I love to spend time on my own. I cannot exist without the other but I cannot exist without myself, first and foremost.

I believe that ignoring our relationship with ourselves is the root of many ailments and destructive behaviours. While falling asleep to ourselves we seek something that can never be found outside ourselves and lose the connection to our own true nature, source, wisdom and guidance.

I am deeply grateful for the ability to be with myself without the need to escape. I am deeply grateful for the knowing that without attending my fire, my wounds,  my beating heart, I only seek outside myself what is so abundant inside; and that this invariably leads to feelings of lack and emptiness. I am deeply grateful for the unlimited gifts of life that present themselves in all shapes and forms.

From the joyful fountain of self acceptance and true reverence for life, there is nothing in the whole universe that can remain unexplored.

“I am the mountain, holy and free…”

And so are you ?

“I howled so loud

To break all these chains

I prayed and I vowed

To let go of the pain.

I feel you sister

Growing inside me

Together we shimmer

With the stars we are free.

’cause right in my chest

A mountain rests

Strong and holy

I’m forever her guest.

I am the mountain

Holy and free

Holy and free

Holy and free.”

Let’s All Dance… (+original song and video)

There is joy in each moment. There is sadness in each moment. There is peace in each moment. All is well. All is at it should be. There is no ounce of resignation in acceptance. Acceptance enables being, living, creating and knowing when to take action.

When we come back to our breath, fully, we enter the magic realm of gratitude for this very gift. All is well within THIS breath. No worry, no danger, no threat.

Writing, painting, singing, expressing are bridges, rainbows, means of acknowledging what is, what comes up and what needs to dance before it can rest. If emotions are energy in motion then let’s all dance in whatever way frees our being from the bondage of the mind.

Here I share with you ‘The Reign of the Night’ – because sometimes an experience and the feelings attached to it replay themselves over and over again until we are able to accept and let go…?

“I follow the thread of the story
But it goes backwards I’m so sorry
Wound
It makes you bleed
Each time I feed this hungry beast
A new seed gets buried too deep
That I can see,
Too clearly…”
