What a wonderful way to share the teachings that your own life practice and deep inner work have given you. In every word, you can feel that you are not speaking from theory, but from lived experience, and that allows the person reading you to understand, in a simple and approachable way, something as profound as the awakening of consciousness.
As we grow, our purest essence gradually becomes covered by multiple layers. From the moment we are born, we constantly receive messages through family, society, education, experiences, friendships, wounds, fears, and expectations. All of this shapes our personality and builds that material mind through which we learn to live and relate to the world. Little by little, those layers end up distancing us from the most authentic connection with the being we truly are.
And what is so beautiful about your writing is that you manage to show, with clarity and sensitivity, how true inner work consists precisely in becoming aware of all those layers so that we can slowly let them go and allow the being within us to express itself freely once again.
Reading you, that profound path no longer feels distant or complicated, but instead becomes something human, possible, and close. The way you transmit it invites us to look inward without fear, with presence, responsibility, and gratitude.
And above all, thank you for the immense generosity with which you share your own inner journey and offer the wisdom you have been discovering through your experience. There is something deeply valuable in someone who shows themselves honestly in order to illuminate the path for others as well, and that is exactly what your words convey: a living wisdom, close, and profoundly human.
Thank you so much for this beautiful reflection. It means a lot Alomn.
I love how you named the layers we receive through family, society, education, wounds, fears, and expectations. That feels very true to me too.
And what I especially appreciate is that your comment feels like a realization in itself. You are not just responding to the piece. You are noticing something from your own practice and naming it with care.
That is part of the playground too: finding the hidden doors inside our own layers, opening them gently, and discovering that the being underneath has been quietly waiting to come play.
I hope you keep writing, meditating, and following that thread in whatever way feels alive and playful for you 🥰. There is something very clear and beautiful in the way you expressed it 💜
WOW Maveric, I love everything about this post!! Beautiful written, thank you for the reminder❣️
Life is a playground!🌹
Life by the water is best🌊 at least for me😺
And this following sentences from your post gave me full body goosebumps:
“Viktor Frankl carries the sharpest version of that distinction. He wrote Man’s Search for Meaning from inside a Nazi concentration camp, after losing nearly everything a person can lose. He did not choose the camp. He chose how he met it.”
Maybe I felt that so deeply, because I am from Germany, I went into what felt like ancestral/collective memories of a concentration camp once during a breathwork and I felt the absolute horrors of human existence while also feeling incredible deep compassion knowing even inside these horrible conditions people were supporting each other, even risking their lives to save others!
Thank you so much, Felicitas. It makes me happy to read this.
And yes, life by the water is best, at least for some of us 🌊🥰
Thank you also for sharing that breathwork experience. What you wrote feels very powerful, especially the way you touched both the horror and the compassion that can exist inside the same human field.
That feels like a deep realization. Not just an idea, but something your body and ancestry showed you directly.
That is part of the playground too, even the difficult part: becoming awake enough to meet what moves through us, without pretending it is separate from life.
I hope you keep listening to that, whether through breathwork, meditation, writing, or whatever practice helps you stay close to it. There is something very alive in what you shared.
Thank you, Laura Coe. You have an incredible gift for seeing beauty in others. You were born with the beauty-channel fully open, and beauty manifests in you with every step you walk in this life. Thank you so much for your encouragement to keep writing. It means a lot to me.
awww... thank you my friend! that may be the most beautiful reply I have gotten in this lifetime. Received. Cherished. You are a gift in my life. Thank you for being, your being shines for all of us to reflect where we could shine more. With love
Oh, Laura. You reflect back with so much beauty, that if you were an industrially designed mirror, every house would have one in every room 🥰 Thankfully you are one of a kind, and I'm very lucky you are in my life.
You know, I'm realizing that one of the perks of writing is that it helps me be closer to kindred souls. May you keep inspiring many more to bring their authentic selves to life 💜
My only disappointment was not hearing you reading your words. I love everything about this both as a general concept and as an expression of you and your experiences in life on both sides of the veil of consciousness and lucidity. Thank you for the reminders!
Farah, thank you so much for your encouragement and your honesty. Reading them aloud has been on my mind. I'm building a new muscle: writing more often, learning what resonates. If all goes well, I'll record audio for the pieces that feel most meaningful 🤗
I love co-creating this playground with you, through the mesh of community, through the dream yoga sangha. Really excited to keep playing together 💜
