🎶 The power of sound… melody…

A sequence of musical notes that can create an entire body of memories through thoughts, sensations, the rising of emotions… wow!!

When you learn to really listen to music AND pair it with lyrics that match the intentions of the melody… double wow!!!

When you experience that power in a moment that aligns…

✨ MAGIC! ✨

It’s a skill though… and it’s fun to play with.

So let’s test it with a melodic one.

How:

🎧 Get headphones, ideally.

Find a comfortable seated or lying-down position.

Press play, adjust the volume, close your eyes if that feels natural, and spend the next 4 minutes simply listening and noticing your experience.

What happens in your body?
What thoughts show up?
What sensations?
What emotions rise?

What does this one do for you?

And there’s another level…

When the music ends, open your eyes and carry the energy of the music into the present moment.

Notice.

Does anything look different?
Feel different?
Does the moment itself somehow feel different?

Or take it into nature. 🌲

Close your eyes for a moment. Ground yourself with a few breaths. Press play.

One last deep breath in…

You are here. Now.

Music amplifying your experience of the present moment.

You get to experience another level of emotion through someone else’s intention and creation… while mixing it with your own life.

Literally creating the soundtrack of your life.

Wow!!! Amazing!!! 😂🎶

Anyways… that’s what I’ve got for now.

I think it’s exciting.

Let’s play. 😁

Nina ✌️❤️

Welcome summer solstice!

Sometimes we lose sight of «the map»… but if we have and know how to use our «compass» aka values and guiding light, everything will be ok!

What is your North Star ?

Sitting in the middle of the forest, litterally and figuratively, today I realized something important.

My father’s passing 2 years ago was not only the loss of my dad.

It became the fault line of my life.

Because after he passed, so much else shifted too:

Identity.
Love.
Family dynamics.
Friendships.
Home.
Security.
Beliefs.
Versions of myself I could no longer carry authentically.

I’ve spent the last couple of years making difficult choices, leaving behind what no longer aligned, trying to rebuild a life that felt more honest, more alive, more me.

But no one really talks about how painful transformation can be once the adrenaline wears off.
How lonely it can feel.
How grief doesn’t only mourn people — it mourns timelines, identities, futures, and versions of ourselves too.

And sometimes you sit in the middle of all that forest of change wondering:

Was any of it worth it?

I think today reminded me that grief is not linear.
And neither is healing.

Some days I feel strong, joyful, hopeful and deeply connected to life.
Other days, the weight of everything I’ve lost and changed catches up to me all at once.

But maybe that doesn’t mean I’m broken.
Maybe it means I’ve been carrying more than I realized.

So today I’m trying to meet myself with a little more compassion instead of shame.

One breath.
One day.
One version of myself at a time.
