Soulful Mind Tribe

Hi, I’m Dora 🧘🏻‍♀️Let’s meditate, flow & grow together 🙏🏼

Who Are You? Finding our path can be a challenging task. With so many options around, what should we choose? With so many opinions, what to do? The way I see things, no one can know what is best for us.

As children, we need guidance but must find our truth for ourselves at some point. And that truth can sometimes be different from those around us. As adults, we often get lost in society's expectations.

For example, my parents are both engineers, reserved & private type people, and most times in control of their emotions. Getting an "I Love You" back from them is like winning the Olympics.

So here I am, Dora, interested in yoga and arts, dancing and painting, singing and writing. I enjoy talking to people, love romantic stuff and poetry, and my heart is always open. I love people, animals, and vegan food.

How is my value in a society defined? Do I need a title? Do I need to be rich? What do I need to be "accepted"? And do I want to be accepted in a place of shallow illusions?

My soul calls for peace and love, truth and expression, open communication and freedom of speech, reciprocity & respect, loyalty, and unconditional love.

It took me a long way to get here; I am who I am and love myself just as I am. I accept my wild spirit and don't want to tame it because it is meant to be free.

Do you already know who you are?

Lots of love, soul fam,

Dora

Last summer, I met a woman working with infants with developmental problems. We chatted a few times about how a trustful bond between adults and children is essential and how, as adults, we communicate information through words and our mimics, tone of our voice, and eye contact or avoidance.

As infants, we can't speak or take care of our needs and have yet to learn everything about this world. Finally, we still depend on the surrounding people, so we observe. We mind how they move and speak and catch up on their emotions through facial expressions. We learn what makes them happy because if they are happy, we are safe. So, for example, a stressed mom can be translated as a great danger to a newborn.

As grown-ups, we meet challenging situations and stressful events, and we don't understand why we repeatedly get into the same troubles. We blame it on bad luck, people, chemtrails, Trump, the weather, mass media, religion, institutions, The Illuminati, The Pentaverate, aliens, etc. Whatever excuse it is, we avoid searching for the real roots of our misunderstanding.

We gain clarity by going inwards, searching for our truth. What did we learn from others in the past? Did we feel safe to speak our truth? Did we receive love and support? How about our inner child? Does that child feel loved or empowered by their surroundings? For me, it was significant to listen to my inner child before I could heal, let go, rewire my thoughts, love myself, and feel safe and at peace. However, communicating openly took me a long time, and I am still learning to express my feelings.

My practice taught me that most of our beliefs are deep-rooted in our past and that we can break toxic patterns by facing them. However, if we avoid and don't accept what was and what is, we will inevitably face the same results.

So what will you do next time your inner child asks for your attention? Will you finally face them?

This week has been so much. By noon, today, I was feeling so empty and triggered by everything around. The peek point was when I realized, that today would have been the birthday of a friend I lost almost 2 decades ago. She was one of the two best friends I had in my childhood. I remember vague her funeral and the days before. Today I realized I never truly grieved her. ❤️ I felt so many years that her parents were the only ones entitled to suffer her loss. I mean, who was I?

Today, I realized she was one of the few true friends I had in life. And I also miss her. I am also sad. And I also lost her. 🖤 now I can make peace 🙏🏼

I know she is around, I felt her energy around today while walking with my dogs through the beautiful forest near my home.

In this pictures I have my other good friend & companion in life. Grateful & humbled 🙏🏼 Thank you God, Thank you Universe, Thank You. I love you. ❤️

When I started practicing yoga 11 years ago, I couldn’t imagine where this journey would take me.

It’s insane how far back this road goes.

Adding, I am still just a shy beginner, a student for life. As I learn to be in every moment, to take every day as it comes, I also learn what matters to other. We are unique, each one of us in our own way, but what I discover is that my experience is shared by others.

Not so long ago, I also learned that sharing our experiences and knowledge is what helps us grow as communities. It is our time to rise & shine. It is our moment to paint the colors, shades, patterns of the future.

Are you ready? A new chapter begins. 🙏🏼

Flow with me online twice a week 🧘🏻‍♀️

Sometimes the past drags us back and reminds us of all the “bad” experiences we had. We tend to overthink and go way to often into the spirals of the past.

Did you ever wonder why some people are by default joyful and abundant? And some are constantly struggling emotionally and are overwhelmed by life?

While we cannot control the outside world, we have the ability to rewire our brains and reset our thinking. Thoughts create emotions. Butterfly effect. The choice is yours.

Here’s an exercise which I found helpful to make peace with my past: recalling the good memories from my life.

Quick guide: take 10 deep breaths. Count from 10 to 0. When you reach 0 go back to your first memory. Search all the happy memories from your childhood until today. Even the smallest things matter, so don’t leave them out. Give them all your attention and focus on the good of the past for a change. 🙏🏼
