It's been one hell of a Christmas break and new year already. I spent a relaxing time in Germany and felt the need to retreat from social media and emails.
I watched my paying attention/ignore wheel bobbing up and down, urging me to post, but in watching it and understanding its true nature, conditioned in childhood, it calmed down and I went back to more solitude and time close to my family.
I have just returned from another trip to the UK to stay with some dear friends. They are very awake to the times we live in and I spent most of my stay listening to their thoughts and wisdom. They live in accordance with the sun (or lack of it as it pissed it down daily). When the sun sets they use red lights and a fire for light and this induced a wonderful relaxation where we were in bed by 8pm. This meant we were up early and within a few days, we were enjoying this new balance with nature routine.
We are now back in Madeira and have set up our place with the same lighting and it's so peaceful and energising for the day.
The UK was also interesting for my work.
Whilst I was in Germany over Christmas, we watched the Chronicles of Narnia. In one of the scenes the kids are dropped off at a train station and the sign caught my attention... Tring.
This rang a bell as I had visited many years before to speak with a world renowned ballet dancer there. I remembered this with warmth as we got on really well and our approaches to performance were very similar.
Back to our recent trip to the UK, I was driving through a little village we stayed in and I saw a signpost for Tring, being the next village on. This struck me and I got that sense that this was not a coincidence (they don't exist).
So that evening I reached out to the teacher and said I was in the next village for the week. He immediately got back to me and during a call asked if I would be interested in lecturing for the oldest ballerinas.
That week I visited the prestigious school twice with my girls, who were thrilled to sit in on ballet auditions. My girls haven't stopped leaping around the house since.
I am so excited to have this opportunity arise, my creative juices are flowing again in creating a possible ground-breaking syllabus including hamster wheel work, meridians, four element theory and high performance conditioning.
Looking back I knew that in being quiet and deepening my understanding of how my mind/body works would enable me to see more clearly what makes me come alive.
The signs are there when we are still and understand how our beautiful world works.
