saluting the sun as she transitions into Scorpio season — buckle up, it’s going down! ⁣ ⁣ This is my favorite astrological season of the year. A time of reflection and taking inventory of the past 12 months.⁣ ⁣ It has been another year of change and growth; it has been a year of death and rebirth. It has been a year of growing pains and magical manifestations.⁣ ⁣ One of the most magical manifestation was this moment here. As an expat, I've always been on the move, never stayed in a place too long. ⁣ ⁣ But this place, this beach, there is a connection that words can't capture. It's like coming home; it's a feeling of being where I belong. ⁣ ⁣ Being back felt like a celebration. I felt held and embraced.⁣ ⁣ Although I am physically back in Stockholm, this place has a piece of my heart. In time we’ll reunite. In the meantime, the journey continues.⁣ ⁣ Have you ever experiences your soul being called to a place? ⁣ ⁣ #sarache #movefromwithin #advancedselfie #orangecounty #lagunabeach #digitalnomad #scorpioseason #scorpiohoroscope #ateliertheche #sunsets #digitalnomadlife #spiritualawakening #spiritualteacher #california #wanderlust #scorpiosun (at Orange County, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/B3-CWWjpuvK/?igshid=tkwz6gawc7n0

The moon taught me: it’s okay to go through phases. ⁣ ⁣ The sun taught me: No matter how many times you go down, keep rising!⁣ ⁣ What is the lesson you learned from observing nature?

Bits of magic ✨🌙⁣ ⁣ ⁣ For me, there is no such thing as too much jewelry. I love to layer pieces and play with shapes and dimensions. ⁣ ⁣ Current favorite pieces on repeat are the beautiful cuffs by the Swedish designer @cbycjewelry — delicate yet with a fresh twist. [This is not a sponsored post, just pure love from a secret fangirl.⁣] ⁣ Oh, and if you were to tell me that I was an x-mas tree in a past life far far away, I’d believe you. ⁣🤣😅🤷🏽‍♀️🎄🥰💁🏽‍♀️ ⁣ #sarache #earrings #earstacks #cbcjewelry #pearlearrings #hoopsearrings #curlyhair #curlygirlmethod #curlynaturalhair #curlynaturalhair #holistichaircare #tattoo #dragontattoo #necktattoo #necktattoos #recycledfashion #oresfashioncollection #earpiercing https://www.instagram.com/p/B3cqkUnJedx/?igshid=aaf3w90c9zwf

move from within⁣⁣⁣ ⁣⁣⁣ ⁣⁣⁣ we’re discussing some of the most common misconceptions around meditation over at ateliertheche.com, my personal favourite is: meditation equals emptying the mind. These limited ideas and jargon set practitioners into failing themselves at having a consistent practice.⁣⁣⁣ ⁣⁣⁣ meditation is a practice of observation, because our mind are essentially always working, even in our sleep. by learning to observe, rather than identify ourselves and getting attached to what our minds are thinking we can learn to explore the being behind the thought. after all, meditation is a practice of self-discovery.⁣⁣⁣ ⁣⁣⁣ and just like any relationship, this requires time, even if it’s only five minutes of your day. by devoting yourself to a practice that fosters wellbeing to all your aspects of your life, you’re already strengthening this neural-pathways in the brain which will assist you in making more wholesome choices for you, your life and those around you. ⁣⁣⁣ ⁣⁣⁣ Oh and btw, this is what you learn and SO much more in my new online Meditation & Self-compassion workshop.

as the energies heightens, grounding into the body is essential.⁣ ⁣ Gaia is vibrating at a higher frequency than ever before. This comes with many consequences, one is the feel of disease, restlessness, anxiety and need to escapism. We’re being asked to ground, and anchor within. ⁣ ⁣ easy tips to ground your energy:⁣ 1. Grounding meditation⁣ 2. Take a walk and focus your energy into your feet, feel the ground below your feet and anchor down. ⁣ 3. Take a shower/bath ⁣ 4. Eat produce that comes from the earth, example: potato’s⁣ 5. Sleep, allows your body to integrate without any conscious act from your behalf.⁣ ⁣ for more energy accelerating tips, please sign up to ATC newsletter.

seemingly never felt better⁣ ⁣ ⁣ This didn't happen overnight, and best believe that it didn't happen by faking it until making it (if you ever hear/read anyone within the wellness/spiritual field say that, cue: run the other way! And btw. That's a dishonoring your feeling and most certain to your inner-child). It didn't happen through talk physiology, it didn't happen through binge-watching TV shows, nor sooting through various substances.⁣ ⁣ It happened because I took responsibility for my self, addressed my whole being–meaning, my physical body, my mental body, my emotional body, and my spiritual body. It happened by taking a long look at myself, where I had abandoned myself, my inner-child, and through addressing all the aspects I wasn't stepping up to the plate. Meaning playing small. ⁣ ⁣ It happened because I accelerated my energy through a daily practice of meeting myself in meditation and compassion. It happened through taking all aspects of myself into consideration, I don't subscribe to "mind over matter terminology," there is a time and space for everything, and the emotional aspect is usually overlooked because of fear–and fear of feeling.⁣ ⁣ As a society who's cradles into numbing ourselves through binge-watching TV, food, drugs, sex, social media, people have become sleepwalking sheep (might sound harsh), but I can guarantee you that your soul didn't incarnate in this vessel for you to numb yourself out. I get it, emotions can be overwhelming. As an HSP who's also an empath who can feel what goes on in another emotional body, I know this very well–yet I still managed to change. (and I am a Scorpio sun with an Aries moon!)⁣ ⁣ You can too! It's a choice, what do you choose for yourself? If you're looking for all reason why you can't, you'll find them. If you open yourself to all the reasons you can, you'll find them too. Just know that you're worthy of living a happy and healthy life. It is OUR birthright. ⁣ ⁣ ⁣ #spiritualawakening #burnoutrecovery #ptsd #ptsdrecovery #hsp #highlysensitiveperson #selfcompassion #selfcaretip #ptsdawareness #meditationprogram #curlycommunity #curlyhaircare #naturalcurls #nellycom #curls #leobikini #scorpio #hamsa (at Los Angeles, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/B3Pu9hopIDh/?igshid=krjogxjipuwl

on the other side of surrender:⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ As a child who grew up with two parents who struggled with mental health, and no framework to heal, I've dabbled with shame many times. As kids, we don't understand that a parent's inability to even act healthy has nothing to with us. It's not your fault, yet you internalize is at it if it was. As if their lack of wellbeing was directly associated with your worth. Because what parent would want to hurt their own child? ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ My mother kicked me out on the streets, "get out of my house! Go to your friends, and we'll see how long they bare with you! You'll see soon that not even they will want to have anything to do with you". I packed all my belongings and left without looking back. I was heartbroken, depleted, and shredded into pieces. As I recited the words to a friend, she answered: "she'll see, we will take care of you."⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ Although I've had many friends throughout my life, I've always thought I'm alone in the world. That when shit hits the fan, I'll only have myself to rely on. Perhaps that's one the reasons I've had a hard time asking for help, plausibly because my parents didn't really show up. Not on those critical school days, whether it was teacher meetings nor graduation days. Nor did they do anything when I told them I was bullied in school. Neither did they stand up for me when my uncle made jokes on my behalf; I wasn't even 10 years old. It's crazy how one can get so used to the pain and the shame.⁣ ⁣ [continue 👇🏽👇🏽👇🏽] (at Los Angeles, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/B3KfN3NpL_P/?igshid=1nvrogpgdvtqn

I wasn't even 10 years old. It's crazy how one can get so used to the pain and the shame.⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ Through this experience, I not only learned that I am not alone, but that there is a great love available for me. Friends didn't only open their homes, they opened hearts to me. Blood isn't thicker than water, yet writing this is one of the hardest things I've ever written. There is so much to de-bunk, so many layers of trauma and pain. But I promised myself that their pain ends with me, I am not passing it forward. I am healing myself and closing timelines; I am sharing my story so if anyone can associate know that they're not alone. Mental illness runs deep, and we can't heal anyone but ourselves. We can only take accountability for our own wellbeing.⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ Looking back..👇🏽👇🏽 (at Los Angeles, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/B3IlTIfpLQ8/?igshid=fo79oi02i77l

reunited with my happy-place⁣ ⁣ my relationship to the word ‘home’ is layered after having lived as an expat from the age of two. the first time I came here I felt something moving deeply within me, a sense of ‘home’ rushed over me – just like when I used to step off the airplane whilst the warm and humid Tehran air embrace me.⁣ ⁣ coming back here brought me to my knees, deeply and completely. while tears of joy and gratitude ran down my cheeks, I took off my shoes and felt her pulse under the soil. I was home, I was happy, I was reunited with my happy place.⁣ ⁣ have you ever deeply felt connected to a place? Do you have a happy place? ⁣ ⁣ #sarache #happyplace #lagunabeach #orangecounty #mylagunabeach #laguna #movefromwithin #manifestation #manifestationmagic #tropical #beach #beachday #curlyhair #nellycom #laylines #synchronicities #california #vagabond #digitalnomadlife #digitalnomad (at Laguna Beach, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/B24o-TDpsbL/?igshid=3pj5ipgoids0

at last comfortable in my own bare skin⁣ ⁣ ⁣ after years of acne, scarring, redness turned out to be Candida (infection in the body) I held a vision for myself to be healthy and at peace with myself - on all layers. Makeup is fun, but there were many times where i used it as a mask instead of a creative expression. ⁣ ⁣ the vision i held for myself was that I want to be comfortable in my skin, to clear out all toxins. as a cherry on top of it all, I got the news in the beginning of this year I had Candida and had to take a deeper look at what I was feeding my body (which naturally is tied to new layers of false conception that collapse). ⁣ ⁣ long story short, i did it – i healed myself holistically, my emotional body, my physical body, my energetic body and my skin is now cleared out. ⁣ ⁣ A Holistic Approach to Skincare is one of my most read articles over at ATC, it’s simple to the point so anyone can do it without spending money, however you need to be willing to do the internal shifts and take a deeper look at yourself and your habits.

a day well spent recalibrating myself⁣ ⁣ ⁣ this is an essential part of my wellbeing. some days i just want to bask in my own energy, other days i like to commune with nature, other times i recalibrate through conscious relationships and laugh my ass off. ⁣ ⁣ the most essential aspects if my daily maintenance is by starting my day with checking in with myself as i sit down in silence and drop down into my heart. It took me a long time to get into meditation, and when i did it was out of necessity. ⁣ ⁣ I stuck with it and made it a daily practice, along the journey i fell in love with it and decided i wanted to share i have learned–which is why I became a meditation coach. ⁣ ⁣ I am so excited to share what i’m currently creating, my intention is to serve others for the highest good of their wellbeing, regardless where they’re located–since i am location independent. ⁣ ⁣ if you’d like to know more about what’s in store, please sign up to the newsletter (link in bio to Atelier The Che and wait for the mail-popup) where I will do my in-depth sharings on spiritual growth, self-care, meditation, energy accelerating content and soooo much more.⁣ ⁣ #sarache #meditation #selfhealing #spiritualteacher #meditationteacher #hsp #highlysensitiveperson #empath #selfcare #selfcompassion #spiritualfellowship #selfrealization #selfrealizationfellowship #movefromwithin #losangeles #palmtrees (at Los Angeles, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/B2uQofCpkAY/?igshid=5bi895x9c76d

they way in, is the way out ⁣✨ ⁣ spiritual awakening gets glamorized in today’s social media landscape. all that “love and light” is just a sign of spiritual bypass. ⁣ ⁣ the awakening phase is a rite of passage, it looks different for each and one of us. Yet those who have been devoted to their souls embodiment will tell you one thing, it’s challenging and painful. ⁣ ⁣ the pain and friction is a catalyst into something deeper, and when you’re standing on the cliff thinking you can’t take it no more, that’s when you jump. Through the pain and fear, through the old construct, social conditioning, letting go of old timelines as you shed your ego self. ⁣ ⁣ You see, to call oneself “spiritual” is another bypass. One that I have guilty of doing myself due to lack of understanding and comprehension of what this embodiment mean. ⁣ ⁣ we’re multi-dimensional beings, having a human experience. there is so much more to this world that meets the eyes. one that can only be felt through the heart, yet that doesn’t mean that you have to do it alone.⁣ ⁣ Over at @ateliertheche I shared a post on Spiritual Awakening, also called ascension. Would you like to know the what signs and symptoms are? ⁣ ⁣ Big thanks to my dear @rozalin.zadeh for snapping this magical shot, blurred to its perfection yet clear to the point! ⁣ ⁣ #sarache #spiritualawakening #5d #heartchakara #heartopening #heartopener #riteofpassage #lightworker #lightworkers #empath #empathsbelike #hsp #highlysensitivepeople #highsensorypeople #movefromwithin #stargate #starseedawakening #ateliertheche #heartchakrahealing #chakraalignment #meditationcoach #energyworker #gridwork #gridworkers (at Los Angeles, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/B2mimqkp7re/?igshid=plwkgqtv2jza

don’t try to crawl up inside other people. they are not your home. your body and this earth is.⁣ ⁣ The most essential relationship you’re going to have is with yourself. Not your partner, not your kids, nor your parent or any else. Yet since childhood many of us have been taught to love others unconditionally, but not ourselves.⁣ ⁣ How can you then truly love another unconditionally, if you can’t feel nor act accordingly when it comes to yourself? You don’t, your subconscious emotional- and behavioural patterns bleed into new relationships. Ever felt you attracted the same mess, but with a different package? ⁣ ⁣ where do you begin when you’re out of love? You start with making a consciousness choice to not abandon yourself again. My return to love started by asking myself one simple question every time where I felt friction towards myself, others or a situation.⁣ ⁣ The question is: where in this situation don’t I love myself? It’s by revealing it that we can heal it, get to the core, and reprogram our old dates way to a loving and empowered in ourselves.⁣ ⁣ It begins with, it ends with you. No once can do it for you. But if you’d let me, I’ll hold your hand through the process because you don’t have to do it alone. ⁣ ⁣ Sign up to my newsletter if you like to learn self-care musings and tips, personal spiritual growth stories, tools on how you can selfheal and much more that only will be shared in the newsletters - first dropping in a couple of weeks.

meanwhile I’m eating & fika’ing my way through LA being the food & coffee enthusiast that I am, I had a little fuel break at this touristy high profile spot to see what the fuss was about 🍴 ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ I came for the decor and hype, stayed for the waffles with whipped cream and Nutella (incredibly good - swipe for visuals of my first bite). however was repelled by the crowd it attracted (read: loud tourists) and acoustics 🤷🏽‍♀️⁣ ⁣⁣ being located next to the pink wall at Melrose, one should have known better. However, when we know better we do better like Dr. Angelo said.⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ conclusion: get the waffles to gooo, they’re a treat! Sure it’s a “Instagram” worthy place in terms of esthetics if you’re into that. if you’re NOT a HSP/empath perhaps you’ll manage the awful stingy vibe and load acoustic bouncing off the walls. I did not, just being honest with you. ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ lastly, classic example of followings trends/hypes — they just don’t do it. Period. Not for me at least, how about you? Thoughts?
