KEMTEN

A weekend of facing fears & opening my heart. Feeling soft & willing. A weekend of tending to my needs, watering my garden & looking myself in the Eye 👁🧝🏽‍♀️ 🌹 Here’s to loving ourselves through another week 💚🌹 #happymonday #weekendpost #healing #opening #lettinggo #doratheexplora #contemporarywild #selflove #surrender (at Warburton, Victoria) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bz7Jumeg2Y2/?igshid=m6k8mj7mmcpt

Inward, by @filippaedghill. Exactly where I’ve been, what I’ve been doing & how I’ve been living. Life has been taking the most interesting twists & turns over the last few months & I vowed that this year I would listen to & follow my heart, my driving force, my intuition & knowings as though they were my gospel. It’s been scary. It still is. I’m learning more & more how to surrender, and I’m still going with that one. Every time I do though, a path lights up for me, and I know the universe has my back. I’m learning that the distrust I’ve built inside of me is not a distrust of the Universe or God or whatever you want or choose to call it, bur rather a distrust of the me who is disconnected, of the me who tried to use & rely on the mind & logic to do things that were beyond it’s jurisdiction. Life doesn’t make sense, at least not in the linear & logical way we want it to in less expanded states of awareness. On another note, @filippaedghill page & art has just become one of my favourite things. Her name page & work is so beautiful & I’m so glad to have found it & feel inspired! . . . . #surrender #art #life #inward #universehasyourback #thepathwayofsurrender #love (at Cranbourne East, Victoria) https://www.instagram.com/p/BwIYAimn4BK/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1o9ct80wvz25q

When we allow ourselves to be vulnerable enough to hear our heart, we can heal our hearts & lead with our hearts ♥️ When we lead our lives in this way, we become authors of our own lives & stories, we step out of our smallness & into our greatness.. bit by bit, bite by bite. 👣👣👣 Personally, I’ve governed a lot of my life being too afraid, to concerned about pride & guilt & shame to have lead from the heart in many cases, which I’m still learning to let go of and forgive myself for today. 🙈 Through this restricted calculated life, I’ve learnt how much holding back truth & ignoring my heart can hurt. I’ve learned that I lose authorship over my life this way, and that nothing great will ever come from that, but most importantly, that I would always be left wanting 💔 I daren’t say it’s easy to follow your heart, to do what you love, be with who you love or be who you love to be.. because it 1000% does not feel that way when you’re wrapped up in the programming of mainstream society, indoctrinated by ridiculous programs that this fear/guilt/shame ridden society weaves. It’s not easy, but then, neither is an unfulfilled life. As we take steps towards our heart, it starts meeting us half way... I believe that, I’ve seen that. With my next steps, I’m trusting that my heart knows best and allowing myself to relinquish a false sense of control and be vulnerable... For our capacity to be great, to feel great, never exceeds our capacity for vulnerability. ✨ . . . . . #vulnerabilitychallenge #open #heart #followyourheart #brenebrownquotes #onelife #livetrue #personalgrowth #journey #circleoflife #writersofinstagram #sharing #goals (at Tugun, Queensland, Australia) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bs_n9TpgF5-/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1ad0x1lb9msbr

The Masculine & Feminine Energies Both Dance in my Belly, my Blood, my Brain, my Being... ☯️ I love How Yin / Yang expresses itself in so many ways - All describing the nature of the energy of a “thing” or even concept.. 🌀 Knowing what helps to stimulate either Yin or Yang within can be an amazing way to calm you down, boost energy, improve sleep, gain mental clarity, built stamina, etc. 💪🏽 When we understand that “Feminine” & “Masculine” energy far surpass the exterior or imagery, when we understand the qualities of each, we can then begin to value them BOTH more. 🌊🔥 In all the wonderful celebration of the feminine, in all of our learning to be slow & gentle, let’s remember to keep the balance. Likewise in all of our business, let us remember to take it slow. A goof friend once told me: “Slow is Steady, Steady isSmooth, & Smooth is Fast”... all comes round in the end 🖤 Soo.. Let’s Nurture the Masculine, Nurture the Feminine for both are important for our own balance & wellbeing. 🌚 ☯️🌞 . . . . . #yinyang #tcm #wombman #passionproject #healthandwellbeing #onelife #masculine #feminine #energy #vibration #nurture #selflove #selfcare (at Tugun, Queensland, Australia) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bsk_y_IgQQy/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=3il9tzpqklzw

Who would you BE today if you weren’t naming yourself by who you were yesterday or yesteryear? 🧐 We have so often put limitations on ourselves, labels & such that hold us back, based on things we did, ways that we reacted a few times, or years ago! Isn’t it crazy? ⚡️Because of that 1 or 2 times you felt a bit shy - you labelled yourself as someone who just can’t do public speaking or social events. . . . ⚡️Because of that 1 time you got rejected, you decided you were unworthy. . . ⚡️Because of that one time you flopped math class, you decided you weren’t clever enough for x y z... . . So what if we allowed ourselves to recognise that we are changing daily? What would happen if we didn’t cling to our personality traits that so often restrict us? . . A big ‘reason’ for personality traits, limiting beliefs and negative views about ourselves/others/society is to prevent ourselves from getting hurt 💔 . . Meaning that so much of our behaviours are governed by the egos desire to protect itself. Meaning that much of the time we limit ourselves & who we could be based on clinging to the tried & tested, the persona, the egos fears. . . So who would you be if you didn’t feel that you had to cling to a certain persona? If you gave yourself a chance to Begin Again? 🌱🌿🌻 . . . . #begin #goodmorningpeople #quotestagram #designyourlife #choosewisely #letgo #personality #ego #whoareyou #selfreflection #allow #personalgrowth #myspiritualjourney #journeytome #becomingabetterme #mindfullness #bloomintoyou #mindsetreset #onelifeliveit #beyou #expressyourself https://www.instagram.com/p/BqX9gLZAuXu/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=yr3rjqu9ejdi

How To - Foundations For The Self-Love Journey 💚

“Eye See You” 👁 Is the most tempting caption turn title for this piece, but nah. This is a reminder that everyone you meet sees a different version of you, due to their own perception. This is a reminder that you see the world based upon your own perception, programming & the DNA that resides with your cells. This is also a reminder to not draw in pen when your tired because your lines will likely be wonky unless you got that steady hand. This is a reminder to acknowledge every cell of your being, & to acknowledge others in the same way. When it comes down to it we’re all star dust. But this programming got is trippin’. Zoom out to zoom in. Connect to Celf & Source often ✨🙏🏽👁 Namaste

My Ancestors pulled me into the sea, they spoke of their pains & travels. They showed me their strength. They told me that despite what I’ve been told about being half washed out from their essence that they are with me. 🌊💪🏽🖤 (at Cape Coast Castle, Central, Ghana)

Illuminate your shadows & spread love 💛🌗🌑🌓💛| i messed up my lines in this weeks illustration but the show goes on! Energy is energy even if the lines are wonky af sometimes 😂 As spiritual beings having a human existence we have the innate ability to heal ourselves by sending pure consciousness to the sources of our pain. This universe, which is one of many, is one of light energy. So Send love to every version of yourself, even the shadow side, the side that has regrets & has done “wrong” - we all have that side, you know what I mean. Send yourself love & shine light onto all the parts of you that you have hidden from the light out of some type of fear💛🌗🌑🌓💛 Heal your soul & body & shine tour brightest! Much love 💛✨🍃 (at Tallebudgera Creek)

INHALE🌀, draw in the fresh air & Prana, stretching your self high, high HIGH, reaching upwards like a Mountain towards the skies, whilst grounding your feet deep deep DEEP into the ground. EXHALE 🌀allowing that which no longer serves you to leave your body, "moving onto higher heights". Allow all of the old to leave you, making space for the new. OPEN yourself with your cells to take in fresh Prana, allow the earth to GROUND, refresh & replenish your energy & LIFE FORCE. Feel the Light, Renewal & Strength within. Everything IS. Love & Light 🌟🌀🌟 (at Mount Batur)
