In the beginning of this month I was listening to the April Energy Update by Lee Harris. He shared that this month is full of action energy, it is a great time to use the wind beneath our wings (you can listen to the update here).
He also speaks about saying goodbye to the old to create space for the new to enter. His words really resonated with me, because they are very relevant to my current situation.
After an amazing 4,5 years in London, we are saying goodbye. Jeroen and I decided to move in November, and things have been moving fast ever since.
In the midst of a transformation
We currently have been packing our life up in boxes. We flew to Spain two weeks ago with our cat Rose, where we found a temporary home for the next coming months. We have used this time of packing up our stuff as the ultimate spring clean: we were getting rid of books, board games and old paperwork. It felt very liberating to go through this process.
Saying goodbye to London was a dance between grief and gratitude.
- I feel gratitude for all the beautiful people we have met here.
- For the city itself, that feels like a creative mecca full of possibilities
- For our home, that served as a ´free B&B´ for friends and family over the last few years.
- And for the last two years I have worked as a barista in Kentish Town, I will miss my wonderful coworkers and the regulars.
- Our plants are also taken care of; they have been adopted and will keep growing in their new homes. I will miss them, but I know they are in good hands.
An invitation: what are you leaving behind?
Do you recognize that feeling of knowing you need to leave behind the old to be open to that which is on its way, even if the new is still unknown?
Sometimes change is obvious, like when you are moving to a new country or city. But more often change happens deep within: there is an old belief or pattern you are ready to let go of, or a phase in life has reached its course.
In the last Satsang we focused on the theme ´saying goodbye to the old and meeting the new´, it was an invite to reflect on your own transition.
What can be cleared up for you to create space for new energy and inspiration?
I am looking forward to meeting you online or f2f from our new place in the Spanish sun!
With love, Jessica
P.S. This week I have given the first Reading & Healing sessions to those who signed up through my last (Dutch) email. It was such a joy to see the impact on the participants! If you missed it last time, you will be able to sign up again in the next offer in a few weeks.
