Surrender, to the waves of life

As time strikes by, with colder temperatures, breathtaking sunsets of purple, pink and blue skies filled with the angels paintings, I am walking around with a head full of what there is left to do besides working full time, yet having to get ready for my road trip. Today, I felt quiet and restless, excited yet anxious and free while still being caged. Yes, many dualities and how can we hold them graciously together?? 

Having Faith and Trust in the process, sit with both feelings and ask where did stories start to develop, what is it that makes me feel this way, but then again, what and where does the truth lay within me and where do I want to go from here? 

Sometimes it’s for grabs and sometimes it may take a day, days weeks or months to have that “oh yeah” moment that liberates our soul! Today i spoke to one of my beloved healing coaches/teachers, and said to her….wow, look where we are, I am and where we are going, all of this would have not been possible without surrendering and trusting the divine process. 

A year ago I asked a friend, help me figure out what “surrender to the …” means….I had no clue and within a year, it’s all I do to unburden myself from long-lasting trapping thoughts that didn’t get me anywhere! What was my word? Well…perfectionism, what and how did that weigh so heavily on me and why? Lineages and lineages, both before and after me, will also have to release this unrealistic expectation of ourselves and others. Unconditional love will never exist without redefining unconditional love for self! Eventually we will go in depth of this word as it’s truly something you see on tv, in magazines, billboards and what you may have taken away from your family and/or background. 

As I took a walk on the beach with 55 degrees this Sunday, I felt the need to be alone and ground myself to where I felt solidly one with Mother Earth. Her sand slid through my toes gently while my Achilles heel had trouble pushing itself out of the wet sand. Waves crashing while a few sun rays, miles away, appeared to show their attendance to what they were just about to witness. Here I sat in wet white granular sand, weeds, ocean greens and shells, thinking what is it I need to learn today? Life comes and goes like the waves, sometimes gently and something forceful rocking the ground from underneath. Don’t fear the next wave sweetheart, is what I was told, it’s just life! There will always be another wave so let’s just get ready to take on the next one together! We would never bring you to the next one if we thought you weren’t ready yet! Embrace each experience as they come, they are your medals to keep! Always be your own number 1

Personal note by Astrid:

In the 90s, I successfully completed, Public Relations & Marketing bachelors degree both completed in the Netherlands, Europe. Then I became a nanny in Spain and worked my way through the hospitality chain, from events manager to sales manager and quickly I realized with being 19, it was time to go back to the Netherlands and study again. This was my second bachelors degree Tourism Management. Throughout life I lived in Holland, France, Spain, Curacao and in the USA since 2000.

Having a true passion for people, knowledge, cultures, spirituality, backgrounds, diversity, languages and communication, it was part of my jump to live my best life, every day! From India, to visiting temples and learning about Hinduism, to Peru and having Shamanic and Plant Medicinal journeys to visiting Teotihuacan and rebirthing my life with Toltec Wisdom, to visiting sacred places in the USA, Europe and Asia, I truly am grateful and excited to have been able to see so much of the world and its beautiful population. I am who I am today, because of my travel and being open to meeting people. It widened my horizon in incredible ways and opened doors to what I thought was impossible at the time.

See, I am no different than you, life continues to curve, have u-turns and T-splits, but while driving on my own personal highway, I have come

to embrace duality, because where there is stress, anxiety, anger, there can be peace, joy and happiness as well, it just depends on what you want to see! It takes practice but I want you to have the life I have created for myself, in your own unique and beautiful way!
