Everyday Magic

I have been thinking about how often we get distracted by trivia and forget to focus on everyday magic. Sunrise and sunset are daily, free, readily available, breathtaking experiences we can all share and witness wherever we are in the world. And for me, one of the most magical elements of this, is that we all see the same sunrise and sunset albeit at different times.

A reminder of the interconnectedness of everyone and everything, at a time when there has never been so much push to divide and rule!!

All my love - Vicki ❤️❤️

Conscious Living

When I was a kid my dad made a short film for a competition which he won. The soundtrack was “what a wonderful world” by Louis Armstrong.
He interspersed images showing the beauty of life, living, love and nature with the shadow aspect of greed, competition, selfishness and ego.

Life is all about balance and in order to experience light, we have to understand and know darkness.

Never be afraid of the dark, rather embrace it fully and know your light will illuminate the path.

Imagine what we can do when we stand together!!

Here Today Gone Tomorrow

This morning I swam in the ocean before breakfast. Not a soul was in sight, the beginning of another stunningly beautiful day. Tonight I am home in my bed, thousands of miles away.

Things can be taken from you in an instant. Nothing in this life is guaranteed; with the exception of death and taxation as my dad used to say. A gentle reminder to live in the moment, express yourself freely and love what you do. Life is a gift, freely given and just as quickly taken away.

Live well and appreciate the gifts and blessings bestowed upon you each day.

All my love - Vicki ❤️❤️

Real Deja Vu

It’s strange revisiting a part of your past that shaped you so significantly as a young adult.

Living in a van, working and travelling for a whole year was one of the most liberating experiences of my life. It taught me many things, but perhaps the most precious was gratitude for life and appreciation of how incredibly fortunate you are to have a roof over your head and a place to call home.

All my love - Vicki ❤️❤️

Movement As Medicine

Dance is one of the only movement based activities which increases cognitive demand, facilitates neuroplastic transformation and boosts social interaction. All these things have been shown to prevent cognitive decline.

Dance frees up the mind, body and spirit in a way that other movement based activities cannot. It need not be for performance, but solely for remembrance, joy and release.

Daily dance practice can be used as a form of meditation for the soul. Movement that isn’t just exercise, but a return to connection, a tool for regulation, a form of resistance, a ritual of remembering; freeing mind, body and spirit.

Dancing with yourself, for yourself, is the kind of medicine that acts fast because it bypasses the thinking mind and goes straight to source. The resonance, release of endorphins and increased oxytocin leads you to straight to connection.

Dance is medicine.

All my love - Vicki ❤️❤️
