In service of Self-Love

I am at the ocean in Holland for a few days.
My soul is drawing me more and more to water, I feel that this is important for me these times.
After 2 weeks of staying in Ghent between buildings it was time to ‘get out’ again.
Being here at the sea I feel I can breathe and relax fully again. Even though some people have the judgement towards me that I am escaping again, I see it more as taking care for myself.

As I am visiting more and more high vibrational places in the world, I start observing how energies are working in different places. And also how my own energy field is responding. And with the many different energy exchanges of the last 2 weeks I started having difficulties to stay grounded in myself.
In the past I would just keep on going with the result of being depleted and exhausted afterwards. Blaming the outside world of their low energies and sucking on mine.

Now I cannot do this to myself anymore.
I know that I am a sensitive soul and that it is my responsability to take care of myself.
To protect myself when I feel I absorbed too much.
To learn to set more boundaries, to respect and trust when there is a ‘yes’ or a ‘no’.
So out of love for myself and for the world too, I retreat myself often to cleanse and replenish again.
To reflect and to integrate. In that way I can be fully present again in Life and for Life.
Because how can I be in service of Love if I am not in service of self love?
A trap for many healers, teachers, etc…

The ocean is a place that helps relaxing my mind by looking in to infinity and listening to the sounds of nature.
My soul comes to peace to be close with the Grandmother water.
I love to bath with her and to cleanse my energetic body with her salty touch but it’s a bit too cold right now ?
So instead I take a bath in the hotel with crystal salt and cleanse myself in that way.
As well as going into the sauna to purify too. And having a massage to let the energy flow.

I am sharing this because I know there are a lot of you dealing with the same thing.
And as a reminder that we always have a conscious choice about how we can take care of ourself.
In our own way. In our own time.
Go inwards, listen and give yourself what you need right now.
Don’t be ashamed, just do it. How big or how small it is. These are pure acts of self love.
And love is what you are and what you deserve. And where all the rest starts with ❤
