It’s been a little while since I’ve written about the heart of my work, and lately I’ve felt called to share a reminder of what this space is really about — for new people, and for those who’ve been with me on and off over the years. So many of us walk through life with a quiet pressure humming in the background: I should be handling myself better. I should be calmer. I shouldn’t feel this way. I need to get control. I or my life should be more, or better somehow. But the tru

For so long, “Melanie” believed liberation would look like a perfected life story —a perfectly regulated nervous system, a perfectly calm mind, a perfectly healed body, a perfectly steady mental, emotional and physical landscape. As though freedom meant a body functioning at 100 percent capacity and a psyche never again stirred by the world. But liberation has nothing to do with that AT ALL :). The body remains the body —intense one day, porous the next, tired, alive, inflame

While the world races for bigger houses, louder lives, fulfilling “experiences,” “more than this,”we ‘seemingly’ stand still. Not stagnant, not lost —but ripening quietly in Truth, in what’s ‘real’, like fruit in the sunless depth of the orchard. We watch as everyone seemingly “moves onwards and upwards.” We’ve never chased achievement, or twisted our bodies toward some distant “better.” It was never our thing to compare or compete. Instead, we allow stillness and authentic e

This quiet place beneath all striving, beneath the stories of who we are and who we must become. It has always been here, even as the mind searched for it and longed for the infinite peace of its own death. Over time, everything that seemingly defined “Melanie” began to loosen and dissolve, simply stopped arising — the concepts, beliefs and ideas, the doubts, the histories, the analysis, the hopes and fears.  The delusion of separation. What was believed to be an individual s

To be highly sensitive is to live fully submerged in life. It isn't an easy existence. But this intensity also brings richness: a depth of experience, a capacity for profound connection, and an ability to witness the world in ways others cannot. To be sensitive is to live life in high definition — challenging, yes, but immeasurably beautiful. Every sound, every subtle shift in energy, every unspoken thought or feeling flows through unfiltered. To the casual observer, life may

God did not ask you to become someone else. Someone 'better', Not a brighter, purer, kinder, or even wiser version, God placed you right here, inside this  body, with this  nervous system, with this  inheritance of patterns, stories, and wounds. No mistakes. The invitation was never to escape, but to love —to love the human you were given so completely....so unconditionally that it may reveal ALL that has been suppressed and avoided, so that even the “ugly truths”are met as c
